Salvation (John 3:16)
Do you know that God loves you? Yes of course, that’s why Jesus Christ exists because God loves you. He loves the sinner, but He hates sin. He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ who died in the cross of Calvary to save us from the wages of sin (Romans 6:23a). His Son died to release us from sins that bound us to the place called HELL. HELL: (Luke 16:22-31) 22“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 in Hades *, where he was in torment; he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ 25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ 27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” There are 3 parts of Hell 1st: Tartaro (tartarus) is the place where Satan and his angels are being tormented (II Peter 2:4). 2nd: *Hades is the temporary place where the lost souls are being tormented. 3rd: Gehenna is the final place of the lost souls after the Judgment. Wages of Sin and the Gift of God Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life inChrist Jesus our Lord.” NIV Do you know that God wants you to be with Him? Yes, through His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, you can be with Him because His Son is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). {Jesus answered, “I am the truth, the way, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.” NIV} Why we must worship Jesus? Because it’s our purpose of living here on Earth (Psalm 150:6). {Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! NIV} How to worship Jesus? John 4:24 “God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the spirit and in Truth.” How to pray? (Luke 11:1-12) 1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead?12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” What is Repentance? Repentance is the second principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ and is extremely important and is how we show faith in Jesus Christ. Follow these six steps to learn how to repent and receive forgiveness. Six Steps of Repentance: Feel Godly Sorrow Confess to God “By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them.” (D&C 58:43) Ask for Forgiveness “And it came to pass that I did frankly forgive them all that they had done, and I did exhort them that they would pray unto the Lord their God for forgiveness.” (1 Nephi 7:21) Rectify Problems Caused by the Sin(s) “And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.” (Exodus 22:12) Forsake Sin “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13) Receive Forgiveness “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.” (D&C 58:42) Through Christ’s Atonement we are able to repent and be cleansed from our sins. I know that each of us can be forgiven and receive peace, because I have followed these steps of repentance and have felt the glorious feeling of peace that comes with sincere repentance. Pray this prayer to God (Psalm 51) 1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. 5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. 6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; 7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. 15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. 17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart 18 May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; Amen. After you pray, find a God’s family (Church) that you will be rejoicing in the LORD with your fellow Christians. Christianity is not all about Religion, but it’s all about relationship with Jesus Christ. Any churches may suite you, but beware of false prophets like Pastor Apollo Quiboloy because in the last days, there will be many false prophets assuming that they are the messiah (Son of God). Mary is not God although she gave birth to Jesus Christ, she’s still a human, so don’t pray upon her, but pray to Jesus Christ, because He was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
When I say I’m a Christian..
I like you very much, (I’ve) been loving (you) for 3 years. I’ve done everything, changed myself in every aspects because of you. Applied for a classical dancer club, played a stage drama, be a drum major, be better at studying, it’s for you. But I know for now that the thing i should do the most and should have done since a long time ago…is telling you straightly that….I love you.

:One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan had just departed from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting.
“Yes, sir, I just caught a World full of people down there. I set me a trap and used a little bait. I knew they couldn’t resist. Got ‘em all!”
“What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked.
Satan replied, “Oh, I’m gonna have fun! I’m gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I’m gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I’m really gonna have fun!”
“And what will you do when you get done with them?” Jesus asked.
“Oh, I’ll kill ‘em,” Satan glared proudly.
“How much do you want for them?” Jesus asked
“Oh, you don’t want those people. They ain’t no good. See, you’ll take them and they’ll just hate you. They’ll spit on you, curse you then kill you. You don’t want those people!!”
“How much?” He asked again.
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, “All your blood, tears, and your life.”
Jesus said without hesitation, “DONE!”
Then He paid the price.
- Isn’t it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the World’s going to Hell?
- Isn’t it funny how someone can say “I believe in God” out and still follow Satan?
- Isn’t it funny how you can re-post a thousand jokes through blogs and they spread like wildfire, but when you start posting messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?
- Isn’t it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
- I pray, for everyone who re-posts this, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them
- If You Love God… And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you…
Re-post this as: “Read only if you have time for God.”
If you love your mom. Repost this. One girl didn’t and her mom died 4 days later.

HUGS
Hugs are an important expression of affection. By hugging someone, you remind them that you care about them and support them. Not only supporting but you can hug your boyfriend. Hugs are easy but like we said it’s not always easy; to hug you need to be friends or more, then smile at the person and hug them. If it is a boy/girl and you have a different gender you have to be in a very good relationship. Just take it slow and steady.
Embrace him/her.
Lean forward and wrap your arms around the person. Males: Carefully sliding both your hands down from her shoulders, put them on her waist and slide them around her lower back. Put your head on her shoulder and press her towards you for as long as you like. If you want to, you can give her a small massage with your hands, and try to warm her. When separating, you can look into her eyes, smile genuinely and, if the situation is fitting, kiss her like you mean it and include some hair massage. 2) Females: Extend your arms toward him and hold them around his neck and shoulders. Lean as close as possible and press your torso against his. In situations of extreme intimacy, interlocking your leg in his is appropriate. Avoid holding your arms below his shoulders and/or embracing strongly and tensely, even if you’re about the same height as him. It might seem weird but it’ll work!
`A hug is a powerful way to communicate your caring for another person, as it can feel great and greatly improve one’s mood. If someone hugs you, they may want a long, loving hug (maybe they are upset or down), so just go along with it and hug them until they let go or loosen their hold. If you try to end it early, it may seem awkward for both of you.A good approach no matter what your relationship with the person you’ll be hugging is…walk up to them from a few (maybe 3) feet away, arms open. When you get to them, wrap your arms around approximately their midsection. Hold for a few seconds, then let go.
Hugging is healthy.
It assists the body’s immune system, it cures depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it invigorates, it rejuvenates, and it has no unpleasant side-effects. Hugging is no less than a miracle drug. Blood pressure increased significantly more among the no-contact group as compared to the huggers. Heart rate among those without contact increased 10 beats a minute, compared to five beats a minute for huggers.It is time to Get, and Give, More Hugs!
This is A TRUE STORY AND IF YOU DON’T PASS THIS ON YOU DON’T
HAVE A SOUL!!!
My name is Chris ,
I am three,
My eyes are swollen..
I cannot see.
I must be stupid,
I must be bad,
What else could have made,
My daddy so mad?
I wish I were better,
I wish I weren’t ugly,
Then maybe my mommy,
Would still want to hug me.
I can’t do a wrong,
I can’t speak at all,
Or else I’m locked up,
All day long.
When I’m awake,
I’m all alone,
The house is dark,
My folks aren’t home.
When my mommy does come home,
I’ll try and be nice,
So maybe I’ll just get,
One whipping tonight.
I just heard a car,
My daddy is back,
From Charlie’s bar
I hear him curse,
My name is called ,
I press myself,
Against the wall.
I try to hide,
>From his evil eyes,
I’m so afraid now,
I’m starting to cry.
He finds me weeping,
Calls me ugly words,
He says its my fault,
He suffers at work.
He slaps and hits me,
And yells at me more,
I finally get free,
And run to the door.
He’s already locked it,
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me,
Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor,
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues,
With more bad words spoken.
‘I’m sorry!’, I scream,
But it’s now much to late,
His face has been twisted,
Into a unimaginable sh ape.
The hurt and the pain,
Again and again,
O please God, have mercy!
O please let it end!
And he finally stops,
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless,
Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Chris ,
I am three,
Tonight my daddy,
Murdered me.
And you can help,
Sickens me to the soul,
If you read this,
And don’t pass it on.
I pray for your forgiveness,
You would have to be,
One heartless person,
Not to be affected,
By this Poem.
And because you ARE affected,
Do something about it!
So all I ask you to do,
Is pass this on!
IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE!
Post this as ‘Daddy … It hurts’
If you do not send this to everyone you know
Then you obviously don’t care about child abuse.Seeing the baby’s face made my heart broken :(( I remembered my little sister and I was like “damn .. I don`t want that to happen to her :l ” Were like super lucky to have good parents, I thought this was like some of those crappy chain message but then I realized this was an important thing to reblog, to spread to everyone to stop CHILD ABUSE.
