I believe in Jesus christ as my lord and savior

This has been on my mind so much. Thank you.

Thank you, I think my ex passed away yesterday, we were 14 years, but 2 years years ago he was saved in a hotel parking lot by a group of young Christians there spreading the Word... it really did not changed his behavior but so glad to know he is in paradise.

Dear brothers and sisters,[a] not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. - James 3:1

[@aj329912]

2 Corinthians 5:10 Verse Concepts For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. That scripture is talking about christians that was the audience that paul was preaching to.

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for him he will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation..... Marvel not at this for the hour is coming in which all who are in the Graves will hear his voice and come forth those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation......

I need to repent! As I am guilty of many transgressions lately..

[@peterbatcheller4570]

Luke 19:1-10 Here is an example of what repentance is in Scripture. ““Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Jesus can and will forgive your sins and make you as white as snow! Hallelujah! May these words of God be an encouragement in your walk! God bless you and Maranatha!

[@covenant157]

What about true believers who end up getting their name erased from the book of life before they die?

[@peterbatcheller4570]

“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ @Meowwolfwarrior The key is to be in Christ. If you were in Christ but began to walk in the flesh unrepentantly, then you will be cut off and you will inherit the resurrection of condemnation instead of life. “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Hope this helps 😊

"You will never stand before God at a judgment and give account for your sins!" Well, I hope you are right but I do not think you are. To say "I will not be accountable for what I did" is contrary to all that is just. Your confidence in this interpretation of scripture that has been translated again and again, with original intent sometimes being lost in translation, is misplaced. Perhaps you should live your life in a manner that IF you ARE held responsible for the good and bad you have done, and the scales are weighed, that you will be found to have brought peace and comfort to the downtrodden and made the burdens of those around you lighter. No one is above being judged. To say otherwise is a little arrogant in nature. No one gets a free pass because they said "I believe, Lord." Many will say "Lord, Lord, in thy name have I not cast out unclean spirits, etc." And the Lord will say "Depart from me, YE WORKER OF INIQUITY, for I never knew you." You cannot expect to sow iniquity all your days and be put in "the special line" that gets the express pass to the kingdom; meanwhile, all the other people in your life that lived good, decent lives and did not choose Jesus will have this other judgment where no one will pass the test and they all will burn forever. This is somewhat morbid. Belief in Christ elevates us to a higher plane where we can more easily bear the load that life heaves on us everyday. Following Christ's teachings will ensure that we do live good, decent lives. Since we are all imperfect, Christ's supreme sacrifice on the cross made it possible for us to live in his presence, perhaps after we have suffered for a period for all the wrong we did commit. The millions upon millions of those who died never having heard of Christ, or having heard of Christ but being brought up in an environment where they could not understand Him or his nature, surely will not have to go to the "no one passes the test" line. No one gets a golden ticket. Be prepared to stand before God when this life is over. God speed!

[@Jawkagee_]

will he judge us of our sins and our works? How will we know what to say when we stand before him? Im scared of it. Im scared if the judgment though i have to face it, what will it be like?

[@aaehguf]

​@@Jawkagee_God did not give us a spirit of fear. Be strong in your faith in the Lord. all will be well. remember that faith in christ jesus alone is what saves you, is what gives you eternal life. nothing else. it is a gift from God, you cannot earn salvation. be strong in your faith in the Lord, you wi be fine. works in faith are simply fruits of that faith, of the spirit, but they do not save you. only faith in jesus does. continue to learn about God and having faith alone in Him. live noy for yourself but for Him, and may everything you do in life be for the glory of God. not of yourself. don't be afraid. you'll be fine. God loves you. God bless you.

Booming people is not the..

[@edgarmorales4476]

God possesses none of the human attributes. The human characteristics of anger, threats and punishment, only pertain to the human condition. So beware and do not allow yourselves to be intimidated by fear and threats of God. We are not on earth to "please" God, as religious teachers may tell us. We are on earth to "express" God and to make ever closer and closer contact with God until we become free of the magnetic-emotional bondage. When Christ was on earth, he urged us to forgive and abstain from judgment, criticism and condemnation. But the church has misinterpreted this as meaning we must "please" God by loving others and abstaining from negative emotions. This is not what Christ meant at all. God is not "pleased" by our behavior. We are masters of our fate in that we always "reap what we sow." All that Christ has taught is directed at giving us details of how to avoid sowing weeds in our vegetable patch-how to remain healthy, happy and prosperous. ​ A time will come in your spiritual development when you will awaken to the enormous gift you have in your head-the gift of creative, intelligent thinking, and you will also become aware of the enormous responsibility you bear towards the way you use it.

Sure but God is THE King of the Universe. So we should serve him

[@edgarmorales4476]

To serve God, we must put Love-pure UNCONDITIONAL LOVE-above all else in all we say and do, since the NATURE of God is LOVE-pure UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. If we do this, we will be happy and we will fulfill all of the commandments. Romans 13:8-10 Galatians 5:14 That is why this is the first and greatest of all commandments. Our relationship with God is the primary relationship. If we are in right relationship with God, then we will be in right relationship with all of life. LOVE-pure UNCONDITIONAL LOVE-is the first and greatest commandment. Honor Love-pure UNCONDITIONAL LOVE-above all else. In other words- LOVE-pure UNCONDITIONAL LOVE-transcends and eliminates the need for the 10 Commandments, but Christians will stubbornly deny this.

[@freppy06]

Yes and no. God does possess human attributes, or I should say we possess His attributes. We are made in His likeness and glory. God has emotions and He is affected by them. Emotions are neutral elements that God created within us just like He has. They are soul elements, not flesh elements. He is pure goodness and spirit and soul, so His emotions aren't perverted into sin like ours often are bc of our carnal nature, ignorance, and flaws. "I always do the things that are pleasing to Him." Jesus said that. Expression is not our only assignment. We can and should be well-pleasing to God. The Bible says that clearly multiple times...

[@evropej]

Paul told you that! Jesus and God told you works! So, people believe someone who murdered holy people rather that the words of Jesus and God? In revelation it says all the families around the world will cry when they find out the truth! He warned you of false apostles! Definition of false apostle: one who did not walk with Jesus or speaks what Jesus spoke! Jesus told you to love Jehova because he judges all and holds all! People call themselves Christians and don’t follow Christs teaching but follow preachings of a murderer of Christians!

@@CatTrashRacing People are following a serial killer and his teachings and then call themselves christ followers! Ironic?

I also think your opinion of Paul will undergo revision as much as that must seem improbable to you right now. Again, I encourage you to test your beliefs for the betterment of not just yourself but for everyone!
