Good News!
Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this
life has ended?
The good news is that God came from Heaven to earth
in the person of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago and
died for our past, present and future sins(misdeeds).
He was born in the land of Israel supernaturally to a
virgin Jewish woman named Mary. He lived a sinless life
for thirty-three years and then sacrificed His sinless
blood and died on a cross to pay the death penalty for
our sins.
After Jesus died He rose from the dead three days later
as He said He would. The Holy Bible also tells us that
Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven and that all who accept
Him as their Lord and Saviour will live forever with Him
in Heaven where there is no more death, sorrow, sickness
and pain.
The Holy Bible very clearly explains how simple it is
to be saved and on your way to Heaven, "For if you
confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe
in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you
WILL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:9)
You can be saved right now and on your way to Heaven if
you will open your heart to Jesus and pray the following
prayer:
Dear Jesus Christ, I want to be saved so that I can have
a home in Heaven when I die. I agree with You that I am a
sinner. I believe You love me and want to save me. I
believe that You bled and died on the cross to pay the
penalty for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead.
Please forgive my sins and come into my heart and be my
Lord and Saviour. Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for
forgiving me and saving me through Your merciful grace.
Amen.
You are now a Christian if you said the prayer and allowed
God to save you. Welcome to the family of God.
If you decide to wait till later you may die before you get
another chance to be saved because none of us knows
exactly when we will die.
This means that if we die without trusting in Jesus Christ
as our Lord and Saviour we will be forever separated
from the love of God in a place called Hell. This place
called Hell is a place of eternal torment, suffering, pain
and agony for all those who reject Jesus Christ.
Choose Jesus Christ today and you will have peace in your
life now and forever.
Have a great day!

You need to take that in the total context of scripture, Swampbug. Works
are a fruit of faith and evidence that faith is present. The works
themselves have no value toward one's salvation. James's letter was
written to 2nd generation Christians in Jerusalem who were complacent and
were making the statement they had faith while their outward lives were
apparently showing otherwise. What James was showing that works were an
outwardly visible sign of internal saving faith. This interpretation is
consistent with the message in the Gospels and the other epistles.

Scripture should ALWAYS be taken in context, but you need to widen the =
scope to more than just "10 words on either side of object"!=20
True, there is no salvation by works *alone*! But my post was to show =
from his own selected source that "faith ALONE" is not enough and likely =
even misquoted. James' words are emphatic. . .Faith without works is =
dead! James is showing that professing faith but not having works =
renders your words empty speech. . ."having a form of godly devotion but =
proving false to its power", 2nd Timothy 3:5.
"The Truth is incontrovertible, Panic may resent it; Ignorance may =
deride it; Malice may distort it; But there it is."

Have a nice day. . .both of you. . .
