THESE THINGS I KNOW!

The things I know for sure are:

1. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior -- eternal, preexisting, and deity; He is God the Son.

2. Jesus Christ died on the cross to offer eternal salvation to ALL who will believe and receive His free gift.

3. This "free gift" of eternal salvation which Jesus Christ offers to ALL who will believe and receive it -- IS PAID IN FULL!

4. That Jesus Christ tells me that, "He who believes HAS eternal life" (John 6:47).

5. That by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9) -- all who will believe and receive (John 1:12), all who will open the door of their heart and invite Him to come in (Revelation 3:20) -- have His promise of eternal life.

6. My Lord does not lie. Therefore, since He has promised that "he who believes HAS eternal life" -- I believe and accept this.

7. Based upon all the above: I know that I, Bill Gray, am a Christian believer, a Christ Follower -- and that I WILL (based upon His promises) spend eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ. I KNOW that I HAVE eternal security in Him; just as He promised.

These things I can say unequivocally about Bill Gray. You will have to speak for yourself; neither I, nor anyone else, can do this. If you do not KNOW that you have eternal security in Jesus Christ; maybe you need to get deeper into a study of your Bible.

I am not saying, and have never said -- that because a person is a Roman Catholic, he/she is not saved. I have never said, that because a person is a Methodist, he/she is not saved. And, I have NEVER said that because I am a Protestant, I am saved.

NO ONE is saved based upon the church they attend. Who is saved; how are we saved?

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not as a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Everyone, regardless of which church one attends, who believes and receives this "free gift" -- is born again (John 3:3) and is a child of God, a Christian believer, a Christ Follower -- and HAS ETERNAL LIFE in Jesus Christ.

If this applies to you; praise God! It is up to you whether you accept or deny His "free gift." But, one must lay aside religion and accept this personal relationship He is offering.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill Gray
