Acts 16: 31
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." Yes folks it's that easy. I find it so sad that many people think you have to work your way to Heaven or sacrifice to get there, but nope it's as easy as believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again. Then the journey begins, then we start our life of trying to live as He would have us live. We are only human and will mess up but we are already forgiven because of Jesus' sacrifice. Some of us will spend the rest of our lives trying to do the right thing and others will get no further than just accepting His gift of salvation. Either way we are still saved and will join Him in Heaven when our day comes. "Believing Christ died-that's history; believing Christ died for me-that's salvation." Enjoy your weekend folks!
God bless!

Hi Karen,
I was raised Catholic, and grew up doing penance for my sins, lighting candles and praying for relatives that died, doing the Stations of the Cross, and praying on my rosary beads, whi*****luded saying the "Hail Mary" and repetitive prayer.
When I left the Catholic church during my senior year of high school, I could not shake the urge to do good stuff to make up for my bad stuff, sins. I really struggled for years, and did not really get complete freedom from the works mentality till I was discipled by my friend, Ruth. And it took her a long time to get it through my thick head. The beauty part of truly believing that Truth helped free me from a ton of habitual sins.
This is a great topic.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

It is so sad to think there are thousands of people who live that way and suffer from enormous guilt because of it, when the truth is it is as easy as believing and having faith! We have the priveledge of doing good because we want to, to be more like Christ, rather than out of guilt.
Such a difference the change of attitude makes. Have a great weekk end and enjoy the game with your son this week!
