How to have sure salvation is this: love God.\u00a0\u00a0Family and Friends, God has not made it complicated, but simple.\u00a0\u00a0God the Father sent Jesus His Son to pay the full and complete price for the sins of every person who has ever lived (John 3:16<\/b>).\u00a0\u00a0He did this to make a way back into to eternal and harmonious living with Him.\u00a0\u00a0He sacrificed His Son because there was no other way.\u00a0\u00a0He who knows all knows this to be true.\u00a0\u00a0So God declared salvation, that is to be pulled from the highway to hell, we must come through Jesus.\u00a0\u00a0The condition is to love the Father by loving the Son.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s it.\u00a0\u00a0If we love God with all that we are then His love will live in us via the Holy Spirit taking residence within.\u00a0\u00a0If we love God then His love lives within and transforms us.\u00a0\u00a0That being so, having His love within, we will love each other.\u00a0\u00a0Not only that, His love will cleanse us from sin because if we truly love Him then we will continue to have sin weeded from us because loving God means obeying Him.\u00a0\u00a0We want to please Him who first loved us (1 John 4:19<\/b>).<\/p>\n
How to live eternally with God.\u00a0\u00a0Love God only through Jesus.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If we truly love we obey God and love others.\u00a0\u00a0Truly loving God means that increasingly we act with justice for all, we are merciful to others because we have received mercy, and we know who forgave us (though we did not deserve His mercy and grace), that being God Almighty the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.\u00a0\u00a0Knowing that it is only by the love of God that we have received grace we are humbled.\u00a0\u00a0Love is the key.\u00a0\u00a0If one truly knows God\u2019s love, then one knows that His love is the complete answer.\u00a0\u00a0Praise God!\u00a0\u00a0Live in the love of God and love each other!\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s it.\u00a0\u00a0Family, don\u2019t listen to any heretical additional requirements.\u00a0\u00a0Love.\u00a0\u00a0God\u2019s love.\u00a0\u00a0That is what has and does save us.\u00a0\u00a0Praise our God who loves us so!\u00a0\u00a0Praise God!<\/p>\n
