Genuine Salvation

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

— Matthew 7:13–14

Many people today have essentially believed a watered-down gospel that deletes the message of repentance. They believe in an all-caring, nonjudgmental God who requires no repentance or a change in their lifestyle. They will say things like, “I believe in Jesus Christ, but my God is not judgmental. My God would never send a person to hell. But I am a Christian.”

Yet they cannot have it both ways. They can’t make it up as they go.

There are many people, even in the church, who hold to a watered-down belief. This diluted gospel may be the most dangerous plague the church is facing today, because it gives a sense of false assurance to the person who believes it.

The Bible speaks of false prophets who give false assurance. In Jeremiah 6:14, God says, “They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.”

It would be like going to the doctor when you are having a heart attack, and having the doctor tell you, “Oh, you are fine. You are being so dramatic! You will be OK.”

There are ministers today who say, “God loves you and everything is fine. You can do whatever you want and live however you want to live. Let’s just love one another and have a great time.”

But that is a false gospel. Yes, God loves us. Yes, God receives any person who comes to Him. But He asks us to repent. He asks us to turn from our sins. If we are not willing to do so, then we are not experiencing biblical faith. And thus, we are not going to receive what the Bible describes as genuine salvation.

Crazy Pirate asked:


why does almost every question i post about jesus’s words vs paul’s words of the topic of christians being bound by old testament law get reported as a violation of the community guidelines or terms of service.

why cannot a polite question about biblical truth be answered, what are people so afraid of that they resort to cyber-violence?

The Godless Heathen asked:


“Whether Cosmic or Microscopic, All Truth is God’s Truth”…… That being said, then why can’t Christians accept that evolution is truth?
You are wrong, there is plenty of evidence. I’ve read it myself. If you’d read a book other than the bible once in a while you’d know the evidence is available to you. Try the library. BTW, I’m not saying we evolved from monkeys, what I am saying is that we share a common evolutionary line which diverged eons ago. There are fossils that show a hominid type that has both human and apelike characteristics.

human matter

Pilgrim asked:


Like the greek word “eon” being translated “world” when it should be translated as a period of time.

Or “parapesontes” being translated “fall away” when it should be translated “defect” (lit. ‘fall alongside’).

Or direct objects being rendered indirect such as in Eph 2:8

Or the word for “green” being translated “pale” in a prophecy where every word is so crucially important to grasp the symbolism needed to understand the parable.

Or adding words where they don’t occur in the oriiginal language, like the word “wild” in Rev 6:8. (in translations other than the KJV).

Doesn’t God’s Word lose resolution due to these errors?
