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!!

Euthanasia Claims More Humans Than Dogs in Canada

From thenewamerican.com

By Rebecca Terrell

In a chilling echo of the 1970s science fiction movie Logan’s Run, Canada now euthanizes more humans through its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program than it does dogs in animal shelters each year. Recent figures indicate approximately 16,425 Canadians were euthanized in 2024, compared to around 7,644 dogs euthanized annually in shelters — a ratio exceeding 2:1. This underscores a broader trend: Since MAID’s legalization in 2016, the program has grown exponentially, raising questions about the perverse incentives of a society that values GDP over human life, the proper purpose of healthcare, and government involvement in death.

MAID was introduced following the Supreme Court’s 2015 Carter v. Canada ruling, which struck down bans on assisted suicide for those with grievous and irremediable conditions. Initially limited to terminally ill adults, eligibility expanded in 2021 to include non-terminal chronic illnesses. By 2024, MAID accounted for 5.1 percent of all deaths in Canada, with 16,499 provisions — a 6.9-percent increase from 2023, though growth rates have slowed since peaking at 31.1 percent in 2022. The cumulative total reached 76,475 by year’s end, on track to surpass 100,000 by mid-2026, nearing the program’s 10th anniversary. This figure eclipses Canada’s World War II battle deaths (42,042) and highlights MAID as the fifth leading cause of death nationwide.

Violation of Ethics

The program’s efficiency has drawn scrutiny. In Ontario alone, 219 people received MAID within a day of requesting it in 2023, with 30 percent dying the same day. A disturbing case involved an elderly woman, “Mrs. B,” who initially requested MAID but withdrew consent for religious reasons. Despite this, and amid concerns of coercion due to her husband’s “caregiver burnout,” she was reassessed and euthanized hours later by a third practitioner. In short, her life was terminated against her own wishes — and to satisfy her husband’s convenience — which amounts to what used to be called “homicide.” Critics argue this reflects a clear erosion of biomedical ethics.

Expansion nevertheless continues: Starting March 2027, MAID will include those with mental illness as the sole condition, despite warnings about long wait times for psychiatric care and rising mental-health crises affecting more than five million Canadians. Cases such as 26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian, approved for MAID due to diabetes, seasonal depression, and vision issues, illustrate the broadening scope. Proponents cite autonomy and compassion, but opponents decry it as state-sanctioned murder, noting 96 percent of recipients are white and that the program suggests a larger agenda to ethnically terraform Canada.

This strategy is artfully being hidden, with Health Canada explicitly stating that MAID is not classified as a cause of death by the World Health Organization. As euthanasia racks up more victims, the statisticians can hide the direct precipitating factor in these murders.

The Real Reason?

Meanwhile, palliative care access remains inconsistent; while 74.1 percent of 2024 MAID recipients received it, this is down from 82 percent in 2019, fueling debates over whether MAID substitutes for underfunded support services. As Canada approaches 110,000 MAID deaths by late 2026, the program tests the boundaries of dignity versus devaluation of life.

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

COME LORD JESUS!!

A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO EVERYONE

Brethren,

A dear sister in Christ wrote to me today – telling me that she was automatically removed from “Absolute Truth” and that it has happened before to her. This made me wonder if this has happened to others……???

PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! 

Devout Jew Tries Disproving Scripture, Gives Life to Jesus Instead

ByTré Goins-Phillips

Ed Grifenhagen — a devout Jew — was about 13 years into his marriage when he told his wife he had a plan, one he said at the time “shouldn’t be too hard” to accomplish.

His endeavor was to disprove Scripture by reading through the Old and New Testaments.

Now a devout Christian, Grifenhagen told CBN News his pompous pronouncement that his attempt at debunking the Bible would be a simple task was “the most arrogant thing I think I’ve ever said.”

“I thought, if I’m not gonna believe it, I need to read what I profess to not believe,” he explained of his reasoning for cracking open the pages of Scripture. “[I] was obsessed with reading it.”

From January to September of 2000, Grifenhagen pored over the pages of the Old Testament. When he finished it, his curiosity got the better of him. Fearful of his father’s upbraiding, the Christian-curious Jew ran a clandestine errand to a faith-based bookstore, where he picked up a copy of the New Testament.

Grifenhagen said he resorted to his own devices to get a copy of the full Bible because — despite growing up in the buckle of the Bible Belt — not a single Christian in Columbus, Georgia, shared the Gospel with him in his first 35 years of life.

From September to November of that year, he read the pages of the New Testament, as well as a handful of books by Christian apologist Josh McDowell and atheist-turned-believer Lee Strobel.

Exactly one year from the start of his journey to disprove the God of the Bible, on Jan. 17, 2001, Grifenhagen arrived at a conclusion altogether different from what he believed just a short 12 months prior.

“I realized that I believed every single word in that book, and I was just blown away,” he reflected. “The book that I professed to not believe in, I ended up believing every word was true and infallible and inherent, and … I just cried out to the Lord to save me.”

“I was wrecked and He rescued me,” Grifenhagen added.

As his faith evolved and his understanding of Scripture deepened, the evangelical pastor found yet another curiosity: understanding the Hebrew origins of the Christian faith.

“From the first verse of Genesis,” he said, “it all points to Jesus.”

Grifenhagen, now a preacher and evangelist, began studying the etymology of the Bible, which led him to compile a devotional, “365 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know.”

Studying the original Hebrew words of Scripture has enriched Grifenhagen’s faith by revealing the depth of meaning behind the passages of the Old and New Testaments.

You can listen to our full conversation with Grifenhagen in the video above.

Brethren, please consider sharing this video with the Jewish people in your life with whom you are sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is Powerful!!

I want to share two more things with you:

How Can I Be Saved?

A Stronger UN and No More Hamas :: By Daymond Duck

From raptureready.com

On Feb. 19, 2026, Worthy News posted an article by Emitt Barry about Pres. Trump’s launch of his historic new “Board of Peace.”

Concerning the UN, Trump said:

  • We’re going to strengthen up the United Nations.
  • We’re going to make sure it’s viable.

Concerning the Israel-Hamas war, Trump said:

  • The war in Gaza is over.
  • If Hamas fails to surrender its weapons, it would be harshly met.
  • We will help Gaza.
  • We will straighten it out.
  • We will make it successful.
  • We will make it peaceful.

(FYI: Before I continue, I want to point out that the Bible says the world will eventually be ruled by Ten Kings, then it will be ruled by the Antichrist, and then it will be ruled by the King of kings and Lord of lords during the Millennium. Gaza has a wonderful future, but it won’t be under the Board of Peace; it will be when King Jesus is ruling during the Millennium.)

(More FYI: We have always had wars and rumors of wars, but they will become more frequent, dangerous, and prevalent – like birth pains – at the end of the age. Peace will be removed from the earth when world leaders declare “peace and safety” on earth. The Antichrist will go forth conquering and to conquer. Multitudes will die as a result of Tribulation Period wars.)

(My opinion: Trump strengthening the UN would be a major step toward establishing a corrupt world government. Trump’s effort to divide Israel, establish a peaceful Gaza, and his naïve declaration that the war is over seems like it is headed toward a declaration of peace and safety.)

Here is Barritt’s “Prophetic Perspective,” and I totally agree:

  • When Isaiah looked forward to Israel’s restoration, he saw more than just a nation rebuilt — he saw a land utterly transformed.
  • In Isaiah 60:18, the prophet declared, “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, devastation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.”
  • In Hebrew, the word translated “violence” is חָמָס (ḥamas) — the same word that today identifies the terror organization sworn to Israel’s destruction.
  • This is no coincidence.
  • The Spirit of God used that ancient word to describe the very thing Israel faces in our day — a spirit of violence and lawlessness that opposes God’s covenant people.
  • Yet through Isaiah, the Lord promised that a time is coming when ḥamas — violence itself — will be silenced in the land of Israel.
  • Prophetically, this points to the day when the Messiah, the Anointed One of Isaiah 61, will complete His redemptive work for Zion (Jerusalem).
  • It is the day when “the Spirit of the Lord GOD” brings true comfort to Jerusalem, when mourning is turned into joy, and when “they shall rebuild the old ruins” (Isaiah 61:4).
  • The eradication of Hamas from Israel is not only a military victory — it is a divine act of renewal, a War of Revival in the truest sense, leading toward the Messianic age of peace.
  • The same God who once judged the earth in Noah’s day because it was filled with ḥamas (Genesis 6:11) will again remove it from His covenant land.
  • When that day comes, the word Hamas — and everything it represents — will vanish from Israel’s borders.
  • The people will dwell securely, the walls will be called Salvation (Yeshua), and the gates Praise (Tehillah).
  • The promise remains sure: there is coming a day when Hamas — both the word and the violence — will no longer be heard in the land.

Here is a link to the article.

https://www.worthynews.com/112378-trump-launches-board-of-peace-as-17-billion-pledged-for-gaza-decision-on-iran-looms

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:

One, Pres. Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, recently said U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip will get the war-torn coastal enclave ready for a renaissance.

Witkoff’s exact words were:

  • Who would ever have thought that we’d get to this place a year ago?
  • We are going to have housing, and mass transportation, and we’re going to be able to clear and demolish all the areas there and get it ready for a renaissance.

(My opinion: Gaza is part of the Promised Land that God gave to Israel forever. God will not tolerate Trump and Witkoff dividing the Promised Land to create a Palestinian State. Ignoring what God said is a major step toward the Tribulation Period.)

Two, on Feb. 22, 2026, a man carrying a shotgun and a gas can was shot and killed after breaching the inner security perimeter of Pres. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Secret Service Agents spotted him and ordered him to put down the gun and can; he put down the can and raised the gun like he was going to shoot, and that was the end of his life.

Three, concerning the future expansion of Israel’s borders, the Two-State Solution, and the location of a Palestinian Capital in East Jerusalem: on Feb. 19, 2026, Pres. Trump’s Board of Peace scrapped the United Nations (UN) Security Council proposal for the creation of a new Palestinian Arab State in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (the two-state solution).

(My opinion: I am delighted that they did this, but this will not end the controversy over Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. Nevertheless, the rejection of the Two-State Solution and a Palestinian Capital in East Jerusalem may be seen by religious Jews as a chance to rebuild the Temple.)

Four, concerning Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons: on Feb. 23, 2026, Iran’s Army chief said:

  • Iran’s nuclear technology and the goal of achieving nukes cannot be eliminated through demand of the US or International pressure.
  • If the US strikes Tehran, then IRGC will test its first nuclear capabilities during war.

(FYI: An Israeli military advisor has reported that Iran is producing ballistic missiles armed with chemical and biological capabilities in preparation for a military confrontation with the U.S. and Israel.)

(My opinion: Pestilence is a sign of the end of the age. Biological weapons could play a major role in this.)

Five, concerning wickedness (as in the days of Noah): on Feb. 24, 2026, 1440 reported that:

  • At least 73 people, including 25 members of Mexico’s National Guard, have been killed in a wave of violenceafter Mexican authorities killed drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes—known as “El Mencho”—during a shootout Sunday (Feb. 22, 2026).
  • Oseguera Cervantes was among the most-wanted fugitives in the US and Mexico for leading the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of Mexico’s fastest-growing criminal networks and a major supplier of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine to the US. Authorities reportedly used American intelligence to narrow in on his location and followed one of his romantic partners to his hideout in Jalisco.
  • Mexico’s security chief said soldiers also killed at least another 34 suspected criminals across Jalisco and neighboring Michoacan Sunday.
  • The cartel responded by setting fire to vehicles and blocking roads across Mexico, prompting airlines to cancel flights, ride shares to suspend services, and schools to close.
  • The US State Department continues to advise Americansin Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas to remain in place.

Six, concerning a potential war with Iran: on Feb. 23, 2026, Pres. Trump said, if Iran does not reach a deal with Washington, it will be a very bad day for that country and, very sadly, its people.

(Reminder: As I have said before, the U.S. attacking Iran might fulfill the prophecy of Elam, but it will not be the Battle of Gog of Magog. However, Iran has threatened to attack Israel if the U.S. attacks Iran, and that could possibly turn out to be the Battle of Gog of Magog. US tankers, as well as cargo and refueling aircraft, have arrived at Israeli airports and docks.)

(FYI: The U.S. Gerald Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, and its accompanying strike group arrived off Israel’s coast on Feb. 23, 2026.)

Seven, concerning wickedness and violence in Sharia Islam: on Feb. 24, 2026, it was reported that:

  • Iranian hardliner Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami delivered a venomous sermon during Tehran’s Friday prayers on February 20, 2026, openly threatening execution for anyone who publicly renounces Islam.
  • This isn’t some fringe rant—it’s straight from the heart of Iran’s theocratic regime, where apostasy isn’t just a sin; it’s a death sentence designed to crush dissent and enforce total obedience.

(My comment: Iran will kill citizens that refuse to be Muslim. Some people believe that killing someone because they don’t believe the way you do is demonic, and the Bible does teach that there are demons in Iran (Dan. 10:13, Rev. 9:14.)

Eight, concerning a potential U.S. attack on Iran: on Feb. 24, 2026, Pres. Trump took the opportunity during his State of the Union address to deliver a new high-profile warning to Iran as nuclear negotiations persist under the threat of U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic.

Trump said,

  • We are in negotiations with [Iran].
  • They want to make a deal, but we haven’t heard those secret words: We will never have a nuclear weapon.
  • My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy, but one thing is certain: I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon.
  • And no one should ever doubt America’s resolve.
  • We have the most powerful military on Earth.

(FYI: A new round of negotiations is set to begin on Feb. 26, 2026. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will head up the U.S. negotiating team.)

(FYI: The deadline set by Pres. Trump for Iran to submit its final proposal to deal with US (and Israeli) demands concerning Iran’s nuclear program, its Ballistic Missile program, its use of Proxies like Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen is Feb. 26, 2026.)

Nine, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Feb. 24, 2026, Israel warned Lebanon that it would strike Lebanon hard, and attack civilian infrastructure and Lebanon’s airport, if Hezbollah gets involved in any US-Iranian war.

Ten, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Feb. 24, 2026, it was reported that:

  • A rapidly intensifying Nor’easter brought record-breaking snowfall, hurricane-force winds, and major disruptions across the northeastern United States on February 23, 2026.
  • Providence, Rhode Island, recorded 96.3 cm (37.9 inches) of snow, the highest single-storm total on record, while power outages peaked above 650,000 customers and more than 11,000 flights were canceled nationwide.
  • 2 cm (35.5 inches) fell in a single day, breaking the previous one-day snowfall record of 48.3 cm (19 inches) set on January 8, 1996.
  • Norton, Massachusetts, recorded 80.8 cm (31.8 inches), Berkley measured 78.7 cm (31 inches), Stonington, Connecticut, reported 78.2 cm (30.8 inches), and Islip, New York, recorded 73.9 cm (29.1 inches).

Eleven, concerning God putting a hook in Gog’s jaw and dragging him and his Islamic allies onto the mountains of Israel: on Feb. 24, 2026, it was reported that:

  • Massive deficit and soaring taxes because of four years of war have pushed Russia’s economy to the brink.
  • Energy revenues have been cut in half; inflation is surging, and key industries from cars to coal are shrinking as more than 40% of the state budget is funneled into the war effort.

(My comment: Russia may need to seek a spoil and a prey to keep its economy from collapsing.)

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.
