“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell”

(Matthew 10:28).

Do you fear Covid-19? Well, I have some news for you – something that is MUCH more terrifying than dying from this virus.

The world bas been driven by FEAR since early 2020. the Bible tells us to fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell!

In case the reader is missing the point – God’s Word tells us to fear HIM and Him alone!

And do you know that nothing you can do will help you to stay out of hell? No one can be good enough to stay out of hell!

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” (Romans 3:10).

So, how does one get to go to heaven?

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 these words 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 some 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!!

If you just now trusted the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins – Tell someone! You will not be able to keep this to yourself!

And Welcome to the family of God!! Hallelujah!

MARANATHA!!

BLACK LIVES MATTER Blames Deadly CUBAN PROTESTS on US Government, DEFENDS Regime

Brethren, this is a perfect example of why those on the Left (the public, media and Congress) have NO clue about reality. They believe the narrative which is pushed by Leftwing news stations. I have conclusive evidence that BLM is a Marxist organization and have written on this.

But even presented with FACTS, the Left cannot accept it if it does not match the narrative.

Co-founder of Black Lives Matter: “We are Trained Marxists” (VIDEO) <click to view)

From theepochtimes.com

Black Lives Matter is blaming the U.S. government’s “cruel and inhumane” economic embargo for the current unrest in Cuba, while praising the communist regime for its “solidarity” by granting asylum to “black revolutionaries.”

The Marxist organization has faced strong criticism since posting a statement on July 14 in response to protests that have erupted in multiple cities across Cuba, where demonstrators have called for greater freedoms and an end to leader Miguel Díaz-Canel’s authoritarian regime.

In the note that was posted to its social media profiles, the group condemned the 1962 U.S. embargo, claiming it was instituted with the “explicit intention” to destabilize Cuba and “undermine the right of Cubans to choose their own government.”

“Black Lives Matter condemns the U.S. federal government’s inhumane treatment of Cubans and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo,” the group wrote. “This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans’ right to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba’s current crisis.”

The largest protest that the communist-controlled country has seen in decades erupted over the weekend after citizens rallied against ongoing shortages of food and other goods, high prices, and power cuts, amid a deep economic crisis in the country, made worse by CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic-related lockdowns.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who rejected the claim that the United States is to blame for Cuba’s unrest, said on July 12 that the main factor that has led people to the streets lies with the mismanaged economy of the nation and the communist regime’s failure to supply its citizens with basic needs.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), among other officials, also rebuked the group for the claim.

“The extortionist ring known as the Black Lives Matter organization took a break today from shaking down corporations for millions & buying themselves mansions to share their support for the Communist regime in #Cuba,” the Florida senator said on social media.

Cuban leader Díaz-Canel in a televised address on July 14 conceded that government shortcomings in handling shortages and other problems played a role in the protests, while also urging Cubans to not act with hate.

Before his announcement, the Cuban regime had only blamed social media and the U.S. government for the protests, which were the biggest in Cuba since a quarter-century ago, when then-leader Fidel Castro personally went into the streets to calm crowds of thousands furious over dire shortages following the collapse of the Soviet Union and its economic subsidies for the island.

The BLM statement—which was posted around the same time as Díaz-Canel commented about the revolt—was quickly disputed online, including by the group’s own followers, urging them to take the post down.

“Very disappointing and uninformed statement,” one person wrote. Another said BLM’s view of Cuba’s situation is “a horrible misrepresentation of what’s happening.”

In the note, BLM also praised the communist regime for its “historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed peoples of African descent” and “protecting black revolutionaries” such as Assata Shakur, also known as JoAnne Chesimard, a former member of the Black Liberation Army who escaped from prison in 1979 while serving life for the execution-style murder of a New Jersey state trooper; she was granted asylum by Castro. She remains one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists.

BLM, known for organizing protests against police brutality in the United States, didn’t mention Cubans’ calls for “freedom” against an oppressive regime and widespread reports of police brutality, sparking controversy.

“Disgusting! Despite the Cuban dictatorship’s murdering and beating of protestors (many of them black), BLM’s statement on Cuba … condemns the US, praises the Castro regime, and makes no mention of the atrocities being committed by the dictatorship,” said Giancarlo Sopo, a communication strategist who once worked on President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign.Source

I have given up trying to convince leftist family members that BLM is Marxist.

If it doesn’t match the narrative, they will NOT accept it!

Pray for these people and keep sharing the Gospel with them.

How Can I Be Saved?
