Isaiah 53: 2-6, King James Version (KJV): 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Ephesians 2: 8, KJV: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Isaiah 43: 25-28, KJV: 25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
Romans 8: 31-34, KJV: 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Acts 4: 12, KJV: 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Only Christians can go to heaven, all others go to hell, is that a fact? Only Jesus can save a person.?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1st Corinthians 3: 11-15, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Repentance and New Life? (12/30/2015); Offspring of GOD? (12/23/2015); Relationship With Our Creator? (03/16/2015); Jesus Rose? (11/08/2013); Why Was A Son Sent? (11/10/2013); Promise of A Spirit? (11/11/2013)
“Dfasdf”, many are offended at the thought of being denied, rejected, and tortured for eternity by GOD on the basis of whether they have read a book (the Bible), how popular, well-known and wealthy you are, or what appears to them as favoritism and partiality. Those who disbelieve that GOD has made an answer for all time and to all mankind by appearing in the earth as Jesus Christ often express anger, bitterness, and resentment against having to answer divine law, and submit to sacred judgment. They even say that GOD is the one who should be held accountable for their lack of covenant relationship, their failure to have within themselves the imparted character and nature from Deity (we say, the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit), and their confusion or ignorance regarding sacred knowledge. In their understanding, GOD is at fault, and the one to be blamed, for the Almighty has remained aloof, distant and invisible. Some account that sin has been created by GOD, and should be allowed as natural and normal. It remains, belief among Christians is very different; for they become anchored as the children of GOD and joint-heirs with Christ through such guidance and instruction that includes the following:
(1.) John 14: 6, King James Version (KJV): 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(2.) John 1: 11-13, KJV: 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(3.) 1st John 2: 15-16, KJV: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(4.) 2nd Peter 1: 2-4, KJV: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (5.) Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
