Knowing Jesus Is Not Enough To Save

Knowing Jesus Is Not Enough To Save

Shall all the millions who are called be chosen?
Millions increasingly turn up at Gospel Concerts, Crusades and gatherings. God must be happy if all the millions would be His: if all these people are willing to be chosen.

Many confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Son of God and subsequently accept Him as their Lord and Saviour. Yet, they forget that this Jesus one receives through faith is just like a deep strong rock foundation on which ye is supposed to build individual shear walls to complete the house.

Righteousness is the shear walls of the laid Jesus foundation. Gathering this building blocks and it's masonry is an individual everyday thing. The builder builds with articulate consciousness of will against sin.

Knowing Jesus is not enough. Without turning away from sin, the symbolic acceptance of Jesus is needless. Baptism is not as important as Repentance. See Mathew 3:7.

Don't think you can escape punishment by confessing with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. For you are not the only one who knows and believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Every creature encompassing all forms of religion, principalities, Kingdom of the darkworld and underworld all do know and believe that Jesus is the Son of God: yet this knowledge shall not get them saved.

As evident in the Bible during the Ministry of Jesus Christ, when the two demons met Jesus, at once they screamed: "what do you want with us, You Son of God"? Have you come to punish us before the right time? Shall these demons be saved because they knew who Jesus was? No, this means, knowing Jesus is not enough !

Knowing who Jesus is does not matter. What do matter is being able to bear good fruits one enjoys in the fertility in Jesus.

You are and will be nobody in the Kingdom of God without true repentance. You may feel worthy, special, honoured with who you are made of. Are you that special that God can't be without you? According to the scriptures, God is capable of breathing the breath of life into stones to raise them to be his true disciples and followers when man refuses or fails.

God can fill the unworthy, the rejected, the stupid, the fool, the illiterate, the disrespected, the nobody with His Spirit so as turn the heart of this person to worship He (God), praise and proclaim His word.

Without true repentance, one's knowledge of and about Jesus is useless because it will not get you saved.

Jesus says "Turn away from your sins for the Kingdom of God is near ".
