Justification is by faith alone

Justification is by faith alone - without and apart from works!

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him (Jesus) that justifieth the ungodly (us sinners), his faith (or trust) is counted for righteousness (or moral perfection). v6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth (counts) righteousness without (or apart from) works,

The Bible is very clear in Romans chapter 4, and elsewhere in the New Testament (especially in the writings of Paul), that salvation is, and always has been, by faith alone apart from works.

The only way for imperfect man to become righteous and enter Heaven is by receiving the imputed righteousness (or sinless perfection) of Jesus Christ, given to faith, and not to works of the law.

Romans chapters 3 and 4, as well as James chapter 2 verse 10 all refute the ''Faith without works is dead'' misapplied scripture. If righteousness were by the law, then man would need to be perfectly sinless to enter Heaven, and not to sin a single time in all of his life for him to be qualified. But the scripture ''has concluded all under sin'', so that ''the promise (of righteousness) by faith of (in) Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe'' (Galatians 3:22). Thus according to scripture, it is impossible to be saved by the works of law, for we are all sinful and imperfect.

Thus the only way for man to be saved and enter Heaven is to be justified (or declared righteous) by faith in Jesus' finished work on the cross (that is to accept His death, burial and resurrection as complete payment for our sins). There is no other condition or requirement.

By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone - To God be the Glory.

A gospel tract testimony

A single person can win dozens, hundreds, or even thousands to Christ with simple tracts or on a one on one conversation over a lifetime. Alot of saved christians do virtually nothing to make it happen. The least anybody can do is pass out tracts with the romans road (Romans 3:23, 6:23, Romans 5:8 (or 1Peter 3:18) and Romans 10:9) and talk to people in their circle at first, on occasion, and then make it a lifelong habit trying to reach strangers at stores, parks, or wherever you're lead. God's word does not return void, so tracts are never in vain. They are a seed of truth, and for some, a seed of salvation. This is my vision and testimony about tracts and gospel articles. They are the soulwinner's best tool to reach as many people as possible. People who don't have time to listen to you will usually accept a tract and they can later on decide to believe or even have someone present the full gospel to them. Tracts with a link to a gospel video (such as bw2h.com) will lead people directly to salvation (John 20:31, Romans 10:17).

Remember Isaiah 55:10-11 - For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

God's word and tracts never return void. So share and translate tracts wherever you are, and someone will eventually get saved (he that hath ears to hear, let him hear) - be a voice! Make it your goal to hand out and put out tracts every week of your life, at least 3 per week, and try to find occasions where you can hand out more. Hand them out or leave them wherever you go.

A hundred rules of life - christian perspective

 

Rules of life -

Do right, always – there is no excuse to do wrong, ever.

Do your best, or do a considerable effort – seek to excel

Live for others

Don’t procrastinate – take immediate action - do all or most of what you can do each day - start again where you left off, finish what you start

Don’t fear man – fear God and serve Him alone – be a prophet

Trust God – do not panic – faith over fear

Encourage and push yourself (push forward) – be confident in your abilities, talents, knowledge, values. Keep working on them until satisfaction is reached.

Be willing to learn (new things and skills)

Be content with what you have

Pray for power

Be willing to wait – learn to grow patience

Nihilism, at the end of the day, nothing matters (except the gospel and to preach it)

The power of habits – our habits shape our future- start small, do small things, and let them grow into big things (they are like a small garden that keeps expanding)! Do them everyday- master some and cultivate new ones.

Be disciplined – mind (and the Spirit) over the body.

Do not avoid too much – be willing to risk, make calculated risks (try to see the outcome of things)

Accept what you cannot control or change.

Preach the gospel to every creature - Have you done enough

The new heavens and the new earth are coming. You have only this one life to serve God, to prove your love for Him, and most of your rewards in the coming world are gonna be based upon your service done down here.

Some questions to ask yourself, to see if you are right with God:

Have you laboured enough?

Have you given yourself entirely to serve the gospel?

Did you make it your aim to preach the gospel and hand out tracts to as many people as possible before it’s eternally too late?

Have you prayed for lost souls who still might have a hope of redemption if they heard the gospel preached TODAY while it is yet time?

Have you written to or called your lost family, coworkers and friends, asking them about their soul and/ or sending them tracts?

If you are too weak or ashamed to preach the gospel, then you need to start handing out tracts with a Bible way to heaven video website printed at the bottom (such as bw2h.com). You never know who’s going to be receptive or not, and the Bible tells us that our calling as believers is the same as the apostle Paul in Colossians 1

v. 5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

v.6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
v. 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
v. 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

v. 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

You too can reach the whole world and make a lasting difference for Christ in your generation by simply handing out gospel cards and preaching the gospel with simplicity and clear illustrations (see the romans road script and other gospel preaching material)

The important thing is to GO and to DO IT even if you are IMPERFECT AND SHY AND WEAK!

Boldness comes with time and experience. If you keep giving or handing out or depositing 3 tracts per day (or even per week or month), then you can reach thousands of people over the years. It’s worth it, and it’s effective. Start by making sure you are being a disciple of the word by reading the scripture everyday and having a strong prayer life (ideally with a partner or someone that keeps you accountable). See Ephesians 6:18-19 and Joshua 1:8-9.

That’s it!

The most important gospel truth

The most important truth: Jesus is the propitiation (or payment) for our sins (1John 2:2, Romans 3:25). This fact alone excludes all forms of self-righteousness and works for salvation. We must rest in Jesus' finished work alone for salvation, in order for it to be free.

It is vital to present this fact when giving out the gospel. People need to understand they are saved by Christ's payment for their sins, and not by their own efforts (which are insufficient, us being imperfect people). Only Jesus' blood can atone and wash away our sins. Thus we must trust the blood of Jesus alone without adding any works to the gospel!

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it (New Jerusalem or heaven) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

And from Jesus Christ, who ... washed us from our sins in his own blood (by faith in the gospel), - Revelation 21:27, 1:5

Revelation 21:27 makes it clear that imperfect people cannot enter heaven. Revelation 1:5 in contrast says that only those who are washed in the blood of Christ (the believers of the gospel) can enter heaven (new Jerusalem). Thus only those who have put their faith and trust a 100% in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Being washed from our sins through faith in Jesus' blood as payment (or atonement) for our sins makes us righteous and perfect before God, spiritually. Thus salvation is a free gift, paid for by Jesus' blood, and this gift is applied and given ''to them that believe on His name'' for salvation (Romans 1:16, 1 John 5:13).
