How Can I Be Saved?

The Simple Plan of Salvation

I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.”

Born again

In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?

First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

For all have sinned

Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.

“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Judgment

But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him, Jesus, Who knew no sin to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

He who had no sin

Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).

Lamb

“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Christ died for us

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.

My friend, “God commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.

In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved ’ ”

Believe on the Lord

Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

Whosoever

Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.

Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.

In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed:
“God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”

Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!

God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.

You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.

If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).

Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are four things to practice daily for spiritual growth:

Pray — you talk to God.
Read your Bible — God talks to you.Witness — you talk for God.
Join a Bible Study — You will grow in your faith.
Develop relationships with other believers – Fellowship is so important!!

The Convergence Generation :: By Daymond Duck

From raptureready.com

By Daymond Duck

Jan Markell is one of my favorite prophecy teachers.

She taught multitudes over hundreds of radio stations for many years.

On Dec. 30, 2025, Compass International posted an article by Jan titled, “Jan Markell’s Top 10 Prophecy Stories of 2025.”

Here is a link to Jan’s article for those who want to read all of it.

Confused By The Rapture?

I am going to skip to Number 10.

  • My last point is to stress the supreme frustration that I must limit my observations to ten markers!
  • There are hundreds!
  • The world is rushing towards globalism.
  • Violence and lawlessness are the order of the day.
  • God’s timepiece, Israel, has enemies on seven sides!
  • All creation groans!
  • Islam is gaining ground.
  • So, the fact that things are all coming together—all falling into place—excites only a tiny remnant who will never grow weary of keeping their eyes on the sky!
  • If you are among them, hang in there.
  • He is coming soon.
  • As things continue to deteriorate, we may be left with only one hope—the blessed hope.
  • We are the convergence generation.

Jesus went to the Temple in Jerusalem for the last time.

He was leaving, and He would never go back, never teach there again.

His Disciples started pointing out the buildings there.

He told them there would not be one stone left upon another.

They went out to the Mount of Olives. He sat down, and His Disciples went to Him and asked, “When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (age)?” (Matt. 24:1-3).

He taught them about many things, and then He said, “When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (Matt. 24:33-34).

There will be a generation (the convergence generation) that will see all the things He said, and they will “know that it is near, even at the doors.”

Here are some recent current events that cause some to believe that this current generation is the convergence generation.

One, concerning the decline of America: on Jan. 1, 2026, on his first day in office, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked all of the executive orders that his predecessor, Eric Adams, has issued since Sept. 26, 2024.

This included several executive orders that were designed to protect Jews.

Mamdani said, “I was elected as a Democratic socialist, and I will govern as a Democratic socialist. I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical.”

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 2, 2026, Pres. Trump declared that the U.S. is “locked and loaded and ready to go” if Iran kills any more Iranian protestors.

(My Opinion: This is dangerous because it could move Russia, Turkey, and others to help Iran.)

Three, concerning the whole world seeing the bodies of the Two Witnesses lying in the street of Jerusalem at the middle of the Tribulation Period: Elon Musk’s SpaceX is hoping to put 42,000 satellites into orbit to provide Internet services to every square inch of planet Earth.

It was recently announced that Starlink put 165 satellites into orbit in 2025. They now have more than 9,300 active satellites in orbit, and they expect to increase the pace on launches in 2026.

Four, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes at the end of the age: on Jan. 3, 2026, a 6.5 earthquake struck southern and central Mexico, killing two people, injuring at least 17 people, causing about 1,000 aftershocks, and causing widespread damage to roads, housing, and infrastructure.

Five, concerning the violence in Iran, on Jan. 6, 2026, it was reported that:

  • At least 36 people have been killed and more than 2,000 have been arrested during a week of demonstrations.
  • Analysts say Iran is facing a convergence of crises: renewed international sanctions over its nuclear program, acute water and electricity shortages, a looming recession forecast for 2026, and now a nationwide protest movement testing the regime’s grip on power.

(My comment: Iran is a curse to Israel, and God may be warning Iran to stop before His judgment falls harder in the Battle of Gog of Magog.)

(Update: On Jan. 6, 2026, Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News Pres. Trump would order the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, if he keeps killing protestors. In addition to that, it has been reported that Khamenei has made plans to flee to Russia with 20 other Iranians, if he thinks his life is in danger.).

Six, concerning the tracking of people in the U.S.: on Jan. 5, 2026, Worthy News reported that:

  • S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has dramatically expanded the use of mobile facial-recognition technology during Pres. Trump’s second term, allowing agents to identify suspected illegal immigrants within seconds and accelerating enforcement operations.
  • The technology, known as Mobile Fortify, enables ICE officers to photograph a suspect with a smartphone and instantly verify identity and immigration status through multiple government databases.

Seven, concerning the controversy over Jerusalem and the future capital of a Palestinian state in East Jerusalem: on Jan. 6, 2026, Israel started taking bids (with a Mar. 16, 2026 deadline) for the construction of 3,401 homes near Jerusalem.

A few Israeli officials believe populating this area with Jewish homes will kill the idea of a future capital of a Palestinian state in East Jerusalem, and it has been opposed by Palestinians, Arabs, the EU, the U.S., and most of the so-called international community for decades.

When the bids end on Mar. 16, 2026, the construction will begin, and it will become irreversible by Israeli law.

Eight, concerning the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel: on Jan. 7. 2026, the Prime Min. of the tiny island nation of Samoa said his nation will open an embassy in Jerusalem this year.

Nine, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 7, 2026, the U.S. seized two more sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers.

One of the tankers was operating under a Russian flag and traveling from Iran toward Venezuela.

Russia immediately condemned the seizure, accused the U.S. of violating international law, and demanded the immediate release of the Russian crew.

Ten, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 7, 2026, it was reported that Pres. Trump has notified Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu that he plans to go ahead with Phase II of his 20-Point Peace Plan despite the fact that Hamas has still not released the body of one of the hostages.

Trump says he remains committed to the release of the body, but he will not hold up his plan for that.

Netanyahu opposes the start of Phase II before the body is released.

Hamas agreed to release all hostages and disarm, and Israel is demanding that Hamas be required to do that.

Trump also intends to announce the makeup of his Board of Peace (BoP) next week.

Eleven, concerning Trump’s negotiated ceasefire between Hamas and Israel: on Jan 8, 2026, Hamas violated the agreement (the second violation in 24 hours) by firing a rocket from Gaza-controlled territory into Israel.

Twelve, concerning a UN wannabe world government: on Jan. 7, 2026, Pres. Trump signed a sweeping presidential memorandum directing the U.S. to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 31 entities tied to the United Nations, in a major escalation of his “America First” agenda.

Trump also ordered all executive departments and agencies to immediately stop participating in the funding of these organizations.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Halperin Breaks Down ICE Shooting Footage: ‘The Car Hits Him’ Before the Shot

For those who follow CNN – Here’s TRUTH

From westernjournal.com

Mark Halperin attends the Showtime-presented finale reception and discusson of the second season of The Circus: Inside the Biggest Story on Earth at The Newseum on May 3, 2017, in Washington, D.C.

Mark Halperin on Wednesday analyzed the video of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement shooting in Minnesota.

A federal agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during an ICE enforcement operation Wednesday, drawing angry responses from Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. On “2WAY Tonight,” Halperin focused on a sequence of events, urging viewers to slow the footage and assess what officers faced in real time during the encounter.

“So this is after the officers have approached the vehicle, and they’ve asked her to get out of the vehicle. And she backs up and then she starts going forward. Now, you’ll see three officers, the two closest to the vehicle are the most germane. One of them has asked her to get out. She’s declined. The other officer is the officer who shoots. You see him obscured in the background,” Halperin said. “And I think the critical question for us here as we’ve watched these is, does he fire at her before he’s hit by the car? Even then, that wouldn’t mean it wouldn’t be this positive that it’s murder, but does he fire after he’s hit?”

Halperin urged viewers to look at the incident through the officer’s perspective.

“Imagine from his point of view. They’ve asked her to get out. She hits the accelerator, and she hits him. What’s he supposed to do at that point? He’s holding a gun. What’s he supposed to do?” Halperin asked. “Play number two, please. This is a different angle, and it’s the angle that’s the clearest. You can see, again, it’s a little bit from a distance, but it’s the clearest angle that shows, without a doubt, that the car hits him.”

Halperin said a clearer camera angle removes doubt about the critical moment in the ICE shooting.

“Again, there’s no doubt. There’s some angles people have seen. You can’t tell that the car hits him. This angle makes it clear. The car does hit him. And it appears from the audio and the video that, again, he fires only after, only after he’s hit,” Halperin said. “Play number six, please. Car backs up. This is in slow motion. Car backs up, and then it goes forward. Very close there in terms of the timing, but it appears that he is hit by the car speeding towards him.”

ICE agents have faced escalating violence in recent months, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying the officer involved in Wednesday’s Minneapolis incident had already survived a June attack.

“Over 100 of these vehicle rammings happen in just recent weeks, and this must stop. ICE alone is facing a 1,300 percent increase in assaults against them and an 8,000 percent increase in death threats against all of them,” Noem said. “In fact, the very same officer who was attacked today had previously been dragged by an anti-ICE rioter who had rammed him with a car and drug him back in June. He sustained injuries at that time as well. And let me remind you why we’re all here in this city today and why we’ve been here.”

Noem said that the Department of Justice should classify vehicle attacks on law enforcement as domestic terrorism and pursue charges accordingly. She argued that using cars as weapons against officers amounts to coordinated terrorist activity and said the administration intends to bring it to an end.
