Believe in Him! If you don't, think about it: an eternity in Hell, people! You need him! this is how it works: God hates sin, so no one with sin could enter his kingdom. But God loves us, so He sent His Son, Jesus, as a baby. Jesus died on the cross for us. In doing so, He took our sin! So if you accept Him into your heart, you have no sin at all. No matter what you do, if you accept Him and believe in Him, then you will spend an eternity with Him! Ask forgiveness for your sins. Pray this: "Dear God, I'm sorry for my sins, and I believe in you and that you sent your Son to die for us on the cross. Please come into my life. In Jesus' name, Amen."
the best part is, you don't have to do any 'good works' to get into Heaven! Just pray that prayer, and believe in Him, and boom! you're there! John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, and whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." I reccomend the 'Left Behind' Series-very moving!

Jesus Christ is my Lord & I believe in my heart His resurrection from the grave.
Live to play, If you don't receive God's free gift of Salvation (eternal life), you really don't believe what Jesus did on the cross is sufficient for your salvation. Even one sin will keep you out of heaven. Sin needs to be atoned for.
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through faith.
The devils believe there is a God, but they rebel against God. They don't trust & obey God. They don't love God.
When a person confesses Jesus Christ their Lord, & believe in their heart the atonement & resurrection, they become born of God. The old man is dead, the new man alive in Christ. This is spiritual rebirth. To see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again.
Bediya, Can Jesus tell anyone of God's Children, "I never knew you."? So those who say Lord, Lord, & Jesus said He never knew them, are those that were not born of God & thought their works would get them into heaven. Just to add, a born again Christian can not abide in sin / iniquity (make it a pleasant habit) because of the Holy Seed within. So, true born again Christians will not practice lawlessness.

Isaiah 14:18 All the Kings in the nations lie in a state, each to his own tomb.
19 But your are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword. those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trumpled underfoot.
Psalm 22; My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Psalm 69:5-6 You know my folly O God, my GUILT is not hidden from you. May those who hope not be disgraced because of me.O Lord, the Lord Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me. O God of Israel.
Do you think It was David's guilt that was not hidden from God? All the sins of David was known through out his kingdom and surely it is not David who admits his folly but someone he prophesied in the future who will make mistake and only God will know. Isaiah also knew that Jesus was taken out of his tomb not to ressurect but be buried elsewhere to start the deception.

unfortunately you're wrong.
good works are needed.
for example "faith without works is dead" "even the demons in hell have faith that Jesus is lord" (james) "and the dead were judged on their deeds, written in the book of life"(rev)
"by your works you shall be acquitted and by your works you shall be condemned"(jesus)
last but not least, "if i have faith that move mountains, but no charity, i am nothing"(paul)
but yeah, i believe in Jesus Christ and that He died so sins may be forgiven and that He rose from the dead.

Matt 7:21 Not everyone who says to me,Teacher Teacher,' will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (That is keeping the Laws of Yahweh)
22 Many will tell me in that day,'Teacher Teacher, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
23 Then I will tell them,'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
What is iniquity? According to the Greek dictionary in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, the word iniquity is word #458 from word #459, and means: transgression of the law, not subject to the law.
458. a*nomiva anâ¢mia, an-om-ee¢-ah; from 459; illegality, i.e. violation of law or (gen.) wickedness:—iniquity, x transgress (-ion of) the law, unrighteousness.
459. a!nomo" anâ¢mâ¢s, an¢-om-os; from 1 (as a neg. particle) and 3551; lawless, i.e. (neg.) not subject to (the Jewish) law; (by impl. a Gentile), or (pos.) wicked;—without law, lawless, transgressor, unlawful, wicked.
Sorry but if you break the Laws the Savior will tell you to get away from him.
Sin by the way is the breaking of Yahweh's Laws (I John 3:4)

i believe. i just don't believe people need to read the left behind series. its not as scriptural as its given credit for, and has Biblical holes in it. its a good read though.

Why would I believe in him? And why would I base my beliefs about the Universe on the "Left Behind" series? If you have to scare people to get them to believe, then there really isn't much substance to your beliefs...
