8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV
As a non believer I don’t consider myself to be “saved”, at least not in any religious way whatsoever.
Im not convinced I need to be saved either.
Saved from what?
And what happens when I am saved?
Do I get to live differently?
Or is this just for when I die? Then as long as I have been saved I will inherit everlasting life??
I don’t believe that – I think when you die, you die and that’s it. End of. Finnito. That’s why we have reproduction. Life is just a cycle.
Whilst I am breathing and living I try to be a nice person.
I don’t pray, go to church, read the bible (although I have done for many years prior)..and I consider myself to be an ok girl.
I treat others as I am treated.
One thing I am pretty sure of though – JWs have got it well…wrong!
Knocking on peoples doors selling dodgy magazines and mistranslated versions of the holy bible isn’t works…it’s criminal, fraudulent and sinful!
1.The Blood of Jesus Christ bought my salvation at Calvary (John 3:16-17)
2, By grace I have been saved, through faith, not of any works or effort on my part, lest I should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9
3. I have confessed the Lord Jesus with my mouth from the belief in my heart that He alone is Lord. (Romans 10:8-11)
4. Most importantly, I have acknowledged that Jesus is who He said He is………the
I AM. He is Jehovah God who spoke to Moses at the burning bush. (John 8:58)
5. My righteousness is completely in Christ (II Cor 5:21)
Always good to re-read these things……..and share them.. thanks
Christ Jesus, crucified and now resurrected. There is no righteousness to be had except His, there is no salvation to be had except through Him. We have been washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11).
Jesus Christ is not just a prophet or a teacher, He is the one and only Savior God. We can only be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. We are saved when we have a personal and life changing connection and relationship with living God, Jesus.
As a sinner who is separated from righteous God I depend on Jesus Christ. It is through his righteousness and atonement and resurrection I will be made new and joined righteously to God which is eternal life,
This I have today by faith and will receive it literally upon the return of Christ or upon my resurrection.

Can the lost generation survive in the real world without the missing link?
What can happen when all the survivors of ” Star on 45″ from after world war two with their children in ” Area 51″ all leave with time without being aware of the mess out there in time?
Can the lost generation trace and solve the misery without the missing link?
With the knowledge do we bring it all back to the graveyards or leave it with the little one before leaving with time?

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The bible teaches that the only name under heaven by which anyone will be saved is Jesus Christ. Jesus said He is the only way to the Father. I am saved not because of anything I have done, but only because I have placed my faith in Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, as my savior.
