How can a person be saved?

How can a person be saved:

To be born again means that your spirit (which died at the falling into the sin by Adam and Eve and everybody since comes to this world with dead spirit) will be born again (John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."), when the source of all life, Jesus Christ, is set to live there through the Holy Spirit. After this you will be like two personalities, the new and old.


Why you cannot by yourself go to heaven:

At the falling into the sin the spirits of Eve and Adam died. All people have since emerged with dead spirit inside. You sense this lack of spirit as emptiness, which you try to fulfil with a hobby, the spouse, children, grandchildren, property, travel, study, career, your friends, that is, of all a good things in itself, but also you could fulfil with the evil things like drugs, alcohol, sex outside of marriage, perversions, crime, a variety of evil to life to connect to, such as yoga, worshipping Satan, etc. If none of these does seem to meet the gap, one may make a desperate suicide. Even if a person does not sin at all, he does not get to heaven, because he does not have the spirit, as flesh and blood will not be able to inherit God's Empire (1Cor 15:50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.).

In addition, each man has the original sin, which is inherited from generation to generation from Adam and Eve. Each person is basically evil and will sin, knowingly, and without knowing, because his motives are bad (Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God). Man of course, can act socially righteously, namely to respect the law, be kind at home and at school, be hard-working, be kind to people, etc. For this he will receive benefits here on earth, but the social righteousness does not give salvation to heaven. In addition, reading the Bible, praying daily, helping the poor and the sick, believing in the existence of God, belonging to church or to some Christian community or doing religious exercises does not save. Believing in his/her own way, does not lead to heaven, because God demands that in order to be saved, man has to believe in Him as He has informed in the Bible (Matt 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.).


The time of visitation:

God will put the Holy Spirit into the dead human spirit and the man begins to think about the purpose of his life, about God, his fate after the death, hell and heaven, his sins and starts to miss better than that. The human being is, in itself, so bad, and hardened that only in Gods given time of visitation he can become a born-again saved person.


Pitiful end to the time of visitation:

If a man will slide back to the previous routine, or decides vigorously to return to them or to decide to change his life in some other way than by becoming a born-again Christian, he gives up his time of visitation. He could explain that the anxiety of sins and of hell and the frustrating aimless life was only because of mental disorder, ignorance, depression or a crisis.

If you harden yourself in the time of visitation, the Holy Spirit leaves you. In that case, you take the risk that you no longer will get another time of visitation, that is you no longer can become saved and your eternal final destination is hell.


From the time of visitation starts a new life:

The second option is that you no longer want to go back to the former frustrating life, you do not stand the burden of your sins, you do not want to fear death and hell, you can see yourself as a disgusting evil doer, need God, you'd like to get to heaven and find out how you can be saved. You decide to give your life to Jesus whatever it takes and decide to follow Jesus. Your sins will be forgiven and your dead spirit will blossom alive, because the Holy Spirit fills it. If you then stay in faith the rest of your life, your destination will be eternal life in heaven.


You will need to face the facts:

You cannot save yourself, but you have to accept that somebody else had to die for your sins, sinful thoughts and motives. This one was Jesus Christ, God's only son, full God. He was fully sinless (including original sin), so he was punished with torture, dying on the cross and hell, only for your sins. Suffering was not easy for Him, but painful, because He was also a fully human being.


At any price:

According to the Bible man has to make a calculation before he can make the decision to become born-again (Luke 14:26-33 If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple." For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? "Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' "Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?" Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. "So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.).

Jesus did not promise easy living for his disciples. You have to think through now exactly what it will cost you to become a Christian. Your relatives, friends and other people may get angry, when they hear that you have become a born-again Christian. You must also be prepared to preach law and gospel to others, namely to demonstrate their sins, and to report on salvation in Jesus. The reception will not always be positive. Some people will become saved too, but the majority do not. You have to be prepared to lose all what is important to you: people, the reputation, future plans, money, property, everything - even your life. Every day believers are tortured to death because of their faith in some part of the world. I am not saying that you will lose all this, but you have to be ready for it, otherwise you will not stand up to testing, but will slide back and become unsaved again. Of course you must also abandon your sins, for example if you would live with a man/woman and not be married with him/her, it could not continue so after becoming born-again Christian.

You cannot become a born-again Christian, if your motivation is: I will become a Christian, if God will heal my cancer, if God then gives me jackpot in lottery, if God gives me that man to be my husband (woman to be my wife), etc. You cannot become a born-again Christian to please somebody. I have seen people who try to attract people to become Christian and people decide to give their life to Jesus to get new friend, to get married to a believer, etc. God's Holy Spirit does not take part in such human efforts and he cannot become born-again. Jesus will come as invited as He is, not as you would like Him to be (Rom 10:13 WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."). He does not agree to rule with you in your life, but he will manage you as autocrat. If you're not ready for this, you cannot become a born-again Christian.


Your decision to give your life to Jesus:

Then, when you're done calculations and, hopefully, decided to give your life to Jesus, do this
1. Confess your sins, and that you have earned eternal hell fire (Matt 25:41 Then He will also say to those on His left, Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels, John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.).
2. Decide to believe that Jesus suffered for the penalty which belongs to you, and that is why you are now free of bad conscience, sin and judgement (John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?").
3. Give the rest of your life to the use of God unconditionally, for whatever it may cost (Mark 8:34-38 And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it." For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? "For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.").

You can make the decision and pray with someone you know to be born-again Christian. You should not expect any feelings, but you'd have to just rely on and trust the promise God gives in the Bible "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. (Mark. 16:16). (If you have been baptized as a child, it is sufficient, but if not, you'd have to go on and get baptized.) Once you've done that, you are born again and the Holy Spirit has come to live in you. Then, just go on living in God's will. God tells his will in the Bible, but He will also lead your choices in life in person. Your old ego is trying to seduce you to sin and away from God, it is called a temptation, but the temptation is not yet a sin, so you should just leave it. But if you proceed with the idea of the temptation in your thoughts, or even act in accordance with it, so then it is already a sin, which you must repent, namely to recognise the sin, to ask God to forgive you and to put the sin on the Cross. Then you have to believe you are clean, because God no longer remembers your sin, which he has forgiven (Heb 8:12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.").The temptations may also come through other people.

Then testify your faith to other people (Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.). Do not be alarmed, even though you will experience mockery and opposition do not weaken your message. Your job is to preach the law and the gospel, starting with the inner circle meaning your relatives and friends, and continuing through your life, just as God leads. It is your responsibility to talk, and do people receive the message and believe it or not, is their decision and their own responsibility. If they do not accept, do not stay to persuade or to force them, you already did your part.

In fact Jesus promised in the Bible that his followers will become hated because of His name, so do not be afraid because of persecutions, but because, if you would be popular among everyone (Matt 10:22 You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved, Luke 6:26 "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.). On the other hand, if you act as you want and you are not in God's guidance, the resulting difficulties are your own fault.

You'll also need to quickly abandon everything, what the Bible says is sin. For example continuing fornication (sex other than in marriage) kills the born-again life quickly, as well as bitterness does (Matt 6:15 "But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.). Likewise, all rebelling against God's guidance is a sin, which has to be abandoned. For example working as a baker is ok, but if you stay as a baker, when God has ordered you to study missions, then the work as a baker is wrong. Some other man God has ordered to be a baker and it would be wrong for him to go to study mission. Or if you read the Bible when you should telephone to your fellow believer and tell him to repent of some of his sins. You cannot pick and choose what God has given you for the tasks or improvements you to make and when, but you must do everything in a timely manner. If you did not do something and it is no more possible to do (for example call on the man, who already died while you refused to obey God), then take your sin to the Cross and from now on obey God (that is, repent of your sin). Going on in your life as God guides you is a basic in life of a born-again Christian. You have to learn to distinguish between God's guidance and the guidance of Satan and the guidance of your own mind, sometimes this goes through error and learning of it, but the attitude must be ´I follow, and learn to follow the guidance of God´.

You will not be complete until in the heaven, but as long as you live here on earth, you will need to remain within a goal with determination, so that you do not give any cause yourself to fall off the way and become a backslider. As long as you're on earth, you're at the same time sinful and righteous. It is also a good idea to communicate with other believers, but at the same time, you have to remember to critique what you hear, read or see (1Tes 5:21-22 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil). Not everybody is a born-again Christian, who claim to be (he may have been born-again before, but then have sled back). And not all religious books and preaching are of God.

Keep in mind always that you have not started the relationship with people, church or any born-again man or woman, but with Jesus. If you want to preserve your relationship with God, then you can bear through the Spirit of God a large number of errors in the environment. God will also test everybody if they are for real in their faith, but that you can stand if you want to (1Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.).

By reading the Bible, praying and spending time together with Jesus, you'll find answers to your questions, peace and joy of life. You can turn to Jesus in all matters, he wants to take part in your life, and to assist and lead you.
