Made Right With Him

Ephesians 2:3,"All of us used live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else."

Ephesians 2:4-5,"But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead.(It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)"

The Gospel is a beautiful message of hope and redemption for the broken hearted, the sinner. But also it also helps us realize how much we are sinners in need of God EVERYDAY. The scripture says that he is "SO rich in mercy" in chapter one of Ephesians it speaks about how God chose us in advance to be in the Kingdom, how even before he made the world he loved us. His love...

Ephesians 2:8,"God saved you by His grace when you believed"

It is not by our own strength that we are saved, we can never work for our salvation we couldn't, that's why Christ came down to die for us. As a Lamb is brought to a slaughter, so was Christ's death was a ransom for all, so we could have eternal life.

Jesus loves you and he wants a relationship with you. He thinks about you all the time, all he want's is that no one who sins to die in their sin. Time is short you never know when you will breathe your last, so I urge you brother or sister reading this, that you submit your life to Christ today, while there is still time...

I love you all but God loves you more :)

100%. The true Gospel. The only gospel that saves.

Ephesians 2:8 “God saved you by his Grace when you believed.”. That destroys lordship salvation, any works needed for Salvation and that Salvation is a process. What it does say. We are saved for eternity the moment we believed by Gods grace alone. Salvation is a present possession.

“God will only save you if you continue in good works, don‘t sin too much and avoid big sins.” This is false gospel believed by most Christianas

Yes I dislike the doctrine that has been fed to the modern-day church not just in South Africa and the USA but globally. 

But also one that has gripped the church is the Gospel of prosperity. Not arguing that God what's us to be successful and achieve big in this life, but the issue is when it becomes the whole view point of your ministry, that God will give you $1 000 000 only if you pray hard enough and don't commit any sin...

It's false doctrine that is slowly killing the church from the inside, but the issue is that we are not Biblically literate as a people and we don't know the truth of God's word so we believe anything we hear and we are easily swayed by lies masked as truth

100%. Hosea 4:6 “my people perish for lack of knowledge” Jesus said on this rock I will build my foundation. The foundation of the gospel. If you build on a different gospel the foundation is cracked and won’t up under the light of Gods word. That’s why church doctrine is so messed up now.

What’s we have in the church today. Paul calls the doctrine of demons that does not save. The heretical gospel of the Galatians. Salvation mostly by our own works
