How Can I Be Saved™?


You may be wondering that, if you’ve followed a link to this wonderful Church and found yourself among the Hell-bound. There are a great many ways to get into Hell, in fact it’s the “default setting” for humankind!

Romans 3:10-23 (AV1611 King James Bible™)

(All Scripture quotes are from the One True Bible™)
10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17And the way of peace have they not known:
18There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;



My unSaved™ friend, this description of the foul human condition is a bitter indictment against any ideas you might have had about making it to Heaven based on your own goodness or decency. Why? Because you have none! “There is none righteous, NO NOT ONE”! “ALL HAVE SINNED and COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD!” My reprobate friend, that means YOU!!!

But Dr. Wierdsbe, I try not to hurt anyone! I try to help my fellow man!” Sorry, sinner, you are “come short of the Glory of God.”


But Dr. Wierdsbe, I keep the Ten Commandments, and give to the poor!” Faithless heathen, HELLFIRE AWAITS!!! For you are “come short of the Glory of God.”


But Dr. Wierdsbe, I was born to Christian parents!” If your parents are True Christians™, that’s good for them but you will gaze on them in Heaven FROM YOUR PLACE IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!!! For YOU are “come short of the Glory of God.”

I’ve heard these excuses all my Christian life! Since I have been a True Christian™ and worked to preach the gospel lo, these many years, I’ve heard them all!


But Dr. Wierdsbe, I’m a member of the Church! I pray every day! I tithe faithfully, and am never even late for Sunday School!” Well, we are going to miss you in Heaven, sinner, because you still “come short of the Glory of God!”

I’m going to direct you to Romans 6:23:

23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What are the wages of your sin? Death! Death unconquerable, unending, death, death, DEATH!!!

Mark 9:43-48

43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.



As the youth of our congregation say, “THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about!”
Our Story So Far:

You have sinned and come short of the glory of God. In His eyes, you are a vile, disgusting worm worthy of Hellfire. There is nothing you can do in this world or the next to avoid it. How do you like me so far?

So How Can Anyone be Saved™?

Well, we know that humankind can be Saved™ because we know that God is Omniscient (perfectly knowing all things past, present, and future), Omnipotent (perfectly Powerful to do anything in Heaven or earth that He desires) and Perfectly Good. But you are still going to Hell.

Then comes the great Gift of God. Wait for it:
Ephesians 2:8-9

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.



For by GRACE of God are you Saved™ through faith! It’s quite simple, really! But wait! It’s God’s Grace, but whose faith? Yours? Don’t turn so fast, worm! Read the whole verse! For by GRACE (which of course can only come from God, yes?) are ye saved. It’s the GRACE OF GOD.
Through FAITH (and here’s where the Bible Haters and “translators” and etc. try to make a Salvation™ through works….”And THAT (faith) not of yourselves, IT is the GIFT OF GOD: not of WORKS lest any man should boast.”


You read it right, reprobate! Even the Faith That Saves™ is not your own, it is the Gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast! In other words, even "belief" won't save you! You are going to Hell!


“Oh, Dr. Wierdsbe, I believe in God!” God doesn’t give a good Damn about your belief in Him!


“Oh, Dr. Wierdsbe, I believe in Jesus Christ with all my heart and soul and asked Him to come into my heart!” Big Whoop! If God didn’t put it there, it’s all Works and you are headed for a Sinner’s Hell!

Here’s how God Works His wonder of Salvation™ to make us True Christians™, folks.
1 Peter 1 (AV1611 King James Bible)

1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Folks, I need not say again just how much of the King James Bible is true, do I? EVERY WORD IS LITERALLY TRUE!!! I believe the Bible from cover to cover and lid to lid!
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (King James Version)

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


So we have to agree that every word of 1 Peter is true, too! So what does this word “Elect” mean? Election is simply a choice. Everywhere you see the word, “elect,” or “election,” or “choose” or “choice,” it simply means to choose something, and it means the same whether the passage speaks of man’s choice or God’s choice.


(1) With regard to God's choice, election is: (a) corporate, as of the nation of Israel, or the church Isaiah 45:4; Ephesians 1:4 and (b) individual 1 Peter 1:2
(2) Election is according to the foreknowledge (Gr. “prognosis”) of God 1 Peter 1:2 and wholly of grace, apart from human merit ; Romans 9:11; 11:5,6.
(3) Election proceeds from the divine volition John 15:16.
Now this seems a bit technical, so let’s boil it down here. Election is, therefore:
(1) The sovereign act of God in grace whereby certain are chosen from among mankind for Himself.

John 15:19 (King James Version)

19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.


(2) The sovereign act of God whereby certain elect persons are chosen for distinctive service for Him. Luke 6:13; Acts 9:15; 1 Corinthians 1:27,28
1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,


Here’s how Salvation™ works:
Foreknowlege: “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God”
Election: God makes a Choice in our favor
Predestination: Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,



The divine order is foreknowledge, election, predestination. That foreknowledge determines the election or choice is clear from 1 Peter 1:2 and predestination is the bringing to pass of the election. "Election looks back to foreknowledge; predestination forward to the destiny."
“The Foreknown are Elected, and the Elect are Predestined” by the Good Will and Grace of God. Are you one of the Elect? The only way to know for sure is to become a True Christian™. Get in here and read the Word of God and follow the truth taught by the Pastors of Landover Baptist Church. Tithe here faithfully and perhaps in His Grace, God will reveal you as one of His Predestined Elect.
Amen.


In Christ,
Warren
