John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus shed his blood on a cross to pay the price for our sins. He is the Son of God born of a virgin. A miracle birth of the Messiah that was promised to Israel. By believing in Jesus are sins are forgiven. We must be sorry for our sins, give them to Jesus and repent, leave them and seek to obey God as his disciples.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
I had been saved after God came to me in a dream in the hospital. I had an encounter that changed my life. I had a deadly cancer and after many surgeries and treatments, God healed me at the age of twenty. Things happened in my life that broke my heart and I was away from the church for 7 years. The Holy Spirit was still with me as I was changed, and able to do more things as a new creation. I lacked the study of God's word. What I was hearing from the new church was that I could trust in God's word. Jesus saves us from our sins. This is the good news, the gospel message; that Jesus died for our sins and is risen and ascended to God the Father.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
The fruit of the word is salvation and healing of souls and the body if in his will. We all will die, but we should be in God's purpose and plan while we live in this world.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Grab a hold of the promises of God and meet the requirements to receive them. We receive them by faith. People may disappoint you, but God is faithful, in His time.
Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecc 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Our strength is in God. The Bible says that all who are godly shall suffer persecution. Some fall away when persecution or the cares of this life overwhelm them.
Mat 13:20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
Mat 13:21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
We need to be rooted in the word so that we can withstand persecution. On my internet ministry, there were many saved from being sex slaves; when they received Jesus and believed the word of God. One verse helped many to escape bondage.
1Co 10:13 No temptation (or trial) has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
He will provide you a way to escape your trial or temptation. Many are free today because God freed them from sin and the devil.
