If you believe that he died for your sins, then there is plenty that you can believe that he can do for you.
Now if you believe as many of us do, that he did not die for us at all. Therefore by definition, there is nothing he can do for us now.

The 144,000 Jews were sealed with the seal of the living God-ref Rev 7:2-4. They have their FATHER'S NAME WRITTEN IN (or on) THEIR FOREHEADS-Rev 14:1. There are 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Dan is omitted. They are male, virgin Jews that have not known a woman; no guile is found in their mouth. They are without fault before the throne of God.
Following God's supernatural destruction of the invading forces against Israel, the 144,000 believe and go forth preaching the Everlasting Gospel and the Gospel of the Kingdom over all the earth. They will preach to fear God, to give glory to God, the message of salvation, and the message of the judgments that are now being brought upon the earth.
Many will get saved as a result of the 144,000 anointed ones of God. However, those that do come to Christ, by faith, will suffer horrible persecutions. Many will have to flee for their lives as time progresses. Many will eventually be beheaded for their faith in Jesus.
What ultimately happens to the 144,000 is not clear.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
That number is for the number of God's chosen people in addinion to those who accepts His Son Jesus as their savior. Those chosen people are the Jewish people.
To think that God is only accepting 144.000 people into heaven, would make Him a liar about anyone who accepts Jesus as thier savior shall have eternal life in the kingdom of heaven. And God is not a liar.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
This "conversion" comes by way of accepting Jesus as your savior and being born again.

Jesus is now in the Heavenly Sanctuary doing the work of the investigative judgement at the end of which the censor will fall and the statement in Revelation 22:11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Will be broadcast in Heaven.
There is a sanctuary in heaven, the true tabernacle which the Lord set up and not man. In it Christ ministers on our behalf, making available to believers the benefits of His atoning sacrifice offered once for all on the cross. He was inaugurated as our great High Priest and began His intercessory ministry at the time of His ascension. In 1844, at the end of the prophetic period of 2300 days, He entered the second and last phase of His atoning ministry. It is a work of investigative judgment which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin, typified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary on the Day of Atonement. In that typical service the sanctuary was cleansed with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the heavenly things are purified with the perfect sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. The investigative judgment reveals to heavenly intelligences who among the dead are asleep in Christ and therefore, in Him, are deemed worthy to have part in the first resurrection. It also makes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and in Him, therefore, are ready for translation into His everlasting kingdom. This judgment vindicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus. It declares that those who have remained loyal to God shall receive the kingdom. The completion of this ministry of Christ will mark the close of human probation before the Second Advent. (Heb. 8:1-5; 4:14-16; 9:11-28; 10:19-22; 1:3; 2:16, 17; Dan. 7:9-27; 8:13, 14; 9:24-27; Num. 14:34; Eze. 4:6; Lev. 16; Rev. 14:6, 7; 20:12; 14:12; 22:12.)

You are being contradictory.It is obvious you do not believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore your intentions are not good.
If only 144.000 will be saved,they would already have chosen by God. There would be no reason to send his son,Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour to die on the cross.

The 144,000 are Very special, there is also the innumerable multitude of the saved. We do not know the exact number of those who will be taken to heaven at the second coming of Christ.
What can Christ do for you? If you keep His Fathers Law (the 10 commandments) and you love Christ, and you are sorry for your sins, and you have asked God to forgive them in the name of His Son Jesus, and you have stopped doing them (the sins), then and only then will you be granted admittance into the presence of God and have fellowship with heavenly beings. This is not an impossibility, Enoch, Moses, Isaiah, and Jesus did it, and if they can then so can you. Study (research) you Bible for the hidden things of God.

Then you are being deceived. Are you a JW?
Jesus died on the cross so that those who BELIEVE will be saved. You should read about the 144,000 in Revelation and you will see it is not the only ones who are saved. Seek God's word for truth and not your cult leader. Revelation 14 talks about the 144,00 are the ones who kept themselves pure- they are ONLY MEN. They are the FIRSTfruits- not the only.They are saved- but they are only a sect of the saved- they are the only ones who kept themselves pure. I think you have much more studying to do. And I hope you do it! Dont be deceived!
Psalm 62:1
[ For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David. ] My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.

What Jay said. And He continues to offer that same sacrifice oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world constantly before the Father in Heaven...
And if you believe in the 144,000 theory....if you wanna be one of 'em - you had better be Jewish and one of the Twelve Original Tribes of Israel....because that's what St. John's Revelation clearly says.

If that were true, what are the chances that out of the billions of people that came before us that all the slots are full!!?!
That number is a total farce and all you need to know is that if you believe in Jesus Christ our Savior then a spot is reserved for you in heaven!
God Bless!

That is a very little number, are you Jehovah's Witness? I am sure that worldwide more than 144,000 have given their life to God. God promises that those that admit they are sinners, believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, and confess their sins and ask forgiveness for them shall be saved and be given eternal life.

Jesus will bridge your relationship with God. You have to know being a christian is not a religion, but a relationship with God. And God loves you very much, He wants to be with you so much.. more than you can ever expect, His love is everlasting.. no matter how much sins anyone has.. He loves us all..And you can have a initimate relationship with God through Jesus, by praying and ending it with "In Jesus' Name, Amen"
Jesus said that "Until now, you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete" in John 16:27
Once you have an initimate relationship with God you will have everlasting peace and joy!!!
"For God so loved the world, He gave His One and only Son, whoever who believes in Him will not perish but eternal life."John 3:16
...and thanks to Jesus! We live because of Him!
Nooooo.. the world is gonna be saved by God.. from the evil clutches of Satan and go Heaven one fine day!
