If You Trust Someone Mostly, You Do Not Trust Them At All

Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”

Have you ever said that they trust someone, kind of. The truth is they don't trust that person, period. Either you trust someone 100% or you don't trust them at all.

Dear reader, do you really trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? In fact, sadly, nearly everyone who claims to be religious on the planet does not completely trust Christ.

In 2003 in the Chicago Sun-Time during the Iraqi War, I read a sad article titled: “U.S. Troops Line Up For Baptism Just In Case.” Oh my, that is not the Gospel. That is not how you get to Heaven! In case the soldiers were killed on the battlefield, they were being invited by the heathen military chaplain to be dunked in a baptistry to prepare to meet God. Fools!

Salvation is not found in any religion, baptistry, sacrament or ritual; but rather, in Jesus Christ's crucifixtion on the cross, His burial and bodily resurrection from the dead three days later. This is the Gospel, the “Good News,” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. There is no other way to Heaven (Acts 4:10-12). Any admitted guilty sinner who believes the Gospel is saved (Romans 1:16). Christ died for our sins! He is the only Savior and Mediator between God the Father and men. You can pray to Mary all you want, you are wasting your idolatrous breath!

If you trust someone 99%, you don't trust them. It's that simple. If you are relying upon church sacraments to get to Heaven, which includes the baptistry, you are not wholly trusting Christ. If you are relying upon the fallacy of having “repented of your sins,” you are not wholly trusting Jesus as your Savior. Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that you must repent “of your sins” to be saved. Yet, wicked Baptist pastors everywhere are preaching this damnable heresy today, misleading the masses. Please don't let some slick false prophet take you to Hell with him. Salvation is of the LORD, and you have no part in your own salvation except the sin that made it necessary. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

Now, I am not saying that you cannot have doubts as a Christian. It matters not how much lack of confidence you may have that Christ can save you, it you trust wholly in Jesus alone for the forgiveness of your sins, accepting His sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, burial and His physical resurrection the third day, you are going to Heaven. It's that simple. Billions of sincere people are going to miss Heaven and spend eternity in Hell someday because they trusted in TOO MUCH. Do not add anything to your faith in Christ and what He did for you on the cross. Salvation is simply believing that Jesus did it all for you through Calvary's cross. Do not be foolish by adding to that.

Beware of the lying false prophet like Pastor Joel Osteen, who says that to be saved you must turn from your sins and invite Jesus into your life. Jesus was a part of Judas Iscariot's life, yet Judas is in Hell forever. Judas turned from his sins, even returning the thirty pieces of silver. Matthew 27:3 tells us that Judas “repented” of his sins and still ended up burning in Hell. Judas felt sorry for betraying an innocent man, Jesus, but Judas never repented toward God by faith in His only begotten Son (John 3:16). I feel sad for Judas.

Dear reader, I cannot stress just how important this blog is. Are you relying upon Christ alone and what He did to pay your debt of sin on Calvary's cross? Cults like Seventh-Day Adventism (SDA) and Lutherans redefine what “faith” means, perverted it's biblical meaning. SDA's errantly teach that you must obey the Ten Commandments to prove that you love God, and if you don't they say your faith is false and you are not saved. Martin Luther (1483-1546) errantly taught that you put your faith in Christ by getting water baptized. This is what Lutherans (his cult followers) still teach today nearly 500 years later.

I ask you again with a concerned heart dear friend, are you trusting Christ alone? If you are relying upon the Gospel alone for salvation, then despite any doubts you may have in the veracity of the Holy Bible, you are trusting Jesus 100%. If you trust your wife 95%, you don't trust her. If you trust her 99.99%, you don't trust her! Trust means that you wholly place your full confidence in someone.

I ask you once more friend, are you wholly relying upon the Lamb of God to save you? John 1:29, “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” Not church membership, not the baptistry, not sacraments, not loving thy neighbour, not religious devotion, not serving Christ, not repenting of your sins, not making Jesus “Lord” of your life, not living a lifestyle of repentance, not faithfully running the race 'til the end, not anything but “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST” (Acts 16:31b). Thank you for reading my ministry blog.
