“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
–1CORINTHIANS 14:33
God’s Word is EXTREMELY CLEAR about the components of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ.
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
Though Jesus is the natural FOCUS of eternal salvation, it all begins with God’s great mercy toward his creation–the biggest aspect of this GREAT mercy was the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth in order that man, believing, might obtain grace and be saved eternally.
“For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”
–Romans 9:15-16
God saves whom He pleases.
“Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.”
–Romans 9:18
And it pleases God when man has the FAITH to obey His Word–which is TRUE.
It also pleases God when man diligently seeks Him.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
–Hebrews 11:6
God’s Word is CRYSTAL CLEAR concerning eternal salvation.
MANY in the churches believe that one must be a ‘good person’ in order to get into heaven.
BUT, God’s Word informs that there are NO ‘good persons.’
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Romans 3:10-12
God’s great mercy saves man: nothing else.
There should be NO confusion: ALL who TRULY value such an eternal destination will receive it.
There are no “tricks” to obtaining eternal salvation.
BUT, one must desire and value such salvation.
And, in the modern world, that is quite a feat in itself.
DOES the reader ever think about eternal salvation?
DOES the reader believe that he has to be a ‘good person’ to be eternally saved?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
