The churches say the gift of salvation is free just believe! Well the bible says even the fallen ones believe and tremble! Jesus said count the cost. Jesus was referred to by Paul as a pearl of great price! All else was dung!

What? The gift of salvation grace comes by faith you cannot recieve from someone you do not believe! So salvation comes by faith by believing that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead! Belief with the heart leads to confession with the mouth!

It is unmerited we don't deserve Gods grace no matter how good we try to be in the flesh the sin nature makes us powerless to completely live by the law! Our teacher!

So we need free unmerited grace we cannot afford and cannot pay for so in they case we cannot by the works of our games by trying in the flesh to save ourselves!

But this gift of God is not free it costs us ourself we must come broken and pentiment to the mercy seat admit we are totally helpless and without hope except for Gods sacrifice to pay for our sins! We must then be baptized pray for the Holy Spirit and live through it the rest of our lives here in spirit not the vanity of our flesh! It is the hardest thing to do and the ramifications of it sneak into you years later when you realize how few really understand the path is narrow! You see many believe Jesus died for their sins and are ok with that few have been convicted by Gods word that to live through Jesus we must by His Holy Spirit die to the desires of our flesh not live for this world even as we are in it do all things through Christ!

When the church started teaching Christ died for us without teaching to recieve the attonement we have to die for Him in our flesh and live by His spirit! That's why no one is seeing our society change. That's why so few are looking for the rapture!.

They want to live for here and be with Christ when they die! They are complacent because the seeker church teaches they can have all here and all later! Basically most have stopped reading the bible because they don't understand it it confuses and disturbs their delicate emotional balance that keys them say Jesus on Sunday  and vote for a party that said no to God on Tuesday!

I did not vote this is not about politics but a mindset that saves or dies not! Without a heartfelt conviction a humble surrender in total humility and a commitment to follow Jesus in spirit one we could not keep without His spirit enabling us there is no salvation that has occured! Believing on with your heart and following in newness of spirit saves!

Believing that He died without dying to Him the response of actually believing how ever imperfect the attempts are that's where the blood covers the pentiment sinner the Holy Spirit cannot impart truth on someone who refuses to lay down his pride to recieve it!

No one wants to gear the gospel message because they actually understand it better then most Christisns professing it! That's why most see churches as just places that want their money!

It's because they counted the cost sakavtuon is given to those who come to Jesus and lay down their life before Him and sorrowfully relent and try to live however pathetic their attempts for Him! It we admit we cannot save ourselves. That He is Lord and humble ourselves and ask and pray for the Holy Spirit then try to walk in Him His grace makes up the other 100%!

We have to give Him ourselves everything its nothing it's His anyway He gave us all we have then we recieve everything we recieve His spirit we live though the Holy Spirit that is life. If His spirit is in us it convicts us of this world in our flesh we are confined to Him we waith watch pray to Him! The world cannot understand because unless there is spiritual renewal and a conversion of the heart that leads to different life priorities there is no  new birth! Only head knowledge that bears no fruit!

Gods salvation is freely offered to all who recieve it but to recieve it we have to give ourselves back to God! We give our all which us nothing because He gave it to us to gain the pearl of great price the attonement of His son Jesus blood and His spirit we have to have in us to be raised to life eternal!

They look at you in wonder why you don't run to the same excess of riot!

Let your heart be converted through the renewing of your mind humble yourself to God but of Him white rainment, eye salve, and gold tried in the fire!

I used to believe that the nuggets I dropped would bear fruit after the rapture what if the sudden destruction occurs and there is no time?

The time to live for Jesus and watch for Him to pray and abide in His word to live for Heavan is now on Earth! The free gift costs everything you have it must consume you renew you make you a pilgrim here! It's just free because all you have was Gods anyway! He just wants you to come to a knowledge of the truth and walk in it! Is it easy or complacemt no! But it's your only real hope!
