To become saved?

Dear Readers,
IN my last post a sweet young lady asked me a very good questions. I do not know the tone of the question, whether it was sarcastically or just innocently curious. I decided to answer it in the best of my abilities. What is it to be saved? (in a Christian sense)

First of all, the Gospel has been so Diluted these days where the true Gospel is Lost. So-called Christians do not even KNOW the Gospel. They read and read the bible but yet remain ignorant to what Jesus actually did, and why.

To get a better understanding of the Gospel, lets start out with some questions shall we? What is the requirement of us all to get into Heaven?
-Can you have sin? No. Why ? Because sin has never entered heaven, and never will be allowed to.
-So then must you be a GOOD sinner?(if that even exist, but some people seems to think so)
lol, and No. Sin is sin.

Simply put. Lets say, the requirement to enter Heaven is to bear apples lol(oh comon give me a chance lol). However, human beings are "orange trees" ... so they try diligently day after day, year after year trying to bear apples... Yet every year, they get Oranges.
What this means is , The apple is Righteousness. God requires us to BE righteous to enter the kingdom of God... But yet we are always sinners. So we try and try to bear apples... and we ALWAYS oranges... We will get back to this.

Their are two ways to become righteous in the Bible. One is by keeping ALL the law. People might say "oh oh, the ten commandments?" Foolish people, ye who do not read the bible lol. Their are 613 laws, AFTER the ten commandments... For the sake of understanding this much easier lets bring back a story Jesus Encountered.
I believe in the book of Matthew , it talks about a rich man who came in front of Jesus. He came to Jesus and said "what GOOD must I do to enter the kingdom of heaven?" ... Jesus says clearly their is only one who is Good, which is God.

Yet the Rich man persists... Jesus says, love your neighbor as yourself, honor your mother and father, and keep the laws of moses etc etc...
The Rich man boldly says, " I kept all of this since i was young..." *screech* lets stop here for a second. He kept all the laws? "love your neighbor as yourself." Your neighbor is everyone around you... Their are so many sick, weak, malnourished people out where he lived. Their are poor people in every corner... if he was to love his neighbor LIKE himself~ then how could he ever be rich? How could he EVER save up money to be rich...? He dresses himself in nice garments, while his Neighbor is in the ground. Giving someone a piece of coin is loving him like you love your self? by no means...
It says later on, Jesus had compassion on him and said, Throw away ALL your possessions and follow me.

Now, people always JUDGE this rich man... people who read the bible ALWAYS judge this man , but people fail to realize we ARE this man. We are JUST like this rich man. We say to the Lord, YES we HAVE kept all your laws ( when we failed at everyone of them) , and we still say, WHAT GOOD MUST "WE" DO TO ENTER YOUR KINGDOM. Our possessions are our thoughts, our OWN SELF righteousness, our arrogance, our knowledge, what we think is right and so on.. These possession, these things we need to drop to follow Jesus.
Now, Jesus' disciples were shocked , and said amongst each other "then WHO can enter the kingdom of God???!" Jesus clearly says, Its "IMPOSSIBLE" for Man... but all things are possible in God.


Moving on. One more parable... If you still reading , God bless you. :)
There was a man... walking from point A to point B... then he met some thieves and bandits! They beat the CRAP out of him! took all his money, his clothes, and left him ALMOST dead.
They probably stabbed him, gutted him etc etc.

First walks the priest... He cannot touch unblemished things (its the law) , so he just walks by... then comes the Levi ( the diligent one) and he is late for his gathering so he moves a long, then come the Samaritan.
Puts him on his donkey, pours his oils and wine over the wound. Takes him to an inn and pays twice over the inn fee and says he will come back if he EVER needs more. The moral of the story is what? Be that good Samaritan!?nahh....

We ARE the man who got hit by robbers. Stripped away of our clothes, our money, our dignity... Left almost dead... unable to live without a Saviour. Then comes the Samaritan... Jesus, who pours his oil(spirit), and wine (blood) over our wounds(sin). Take us to a inn and PAYS our debts twice over, and will come back to pay more if Ever needed.
The parable was to teach his disciplines that he was that Saviour, and they(we) are the ones who are in need. We all want to be in the position of the Saviour, but what we always fail to realize is we are the ones needing saving. We are the ones who are powerless in front of God, and are helpless without the saving of Christ.
Now... to the saving part.

What is to repent? Is repenting" Oh God, sorry i did this, sorry i did that, I committed this and that , and this and that" Thats no repentance lol. Repenting means to turn from your ways.
John always preached, REPENT and believe in Christ. Turn from your way of thinking, your OWN righteousness and accept Jesus' righteousness.

Ask your selves a honest question. Are you a sinner? Do you believe you are a COMPLETE sinner? thats the kicker right there lol~ people always say they are sinners, but never admit they are complete sinners lol. They always think i'm part sinner, part good like this is some cooking show. In front of God, you are NOT good. Thats the truth of it... in the HUMAN standards SURE~ we can tell a BIG difference who is good and who is bad... but GOD sees peoples hearts not the actions. Before you kill someone, you Hate (and you cannot control that), before you steal, you covet..( you can't help wanting something), before you commit adultery you Lust ( you cannot control feeling of lust)... What i'm trying to make you come to sense with is, you ALREADY fail at becoming righteous on your own.

If you seriously realized you are doomed without Christ why are you still looking at yourselves for the solution? "oh I must try harder, OH I MUST DO BETTER"
The only way is to look towards Christs blood, and believe in what HE did. Which is CLEARLY to take ALL your sins. Past present AND future.

Take this into account. How did you all become sinners? did you want to become sinner? no way! It was from ONE MAN, ADAM. WE all inherited this Sin. So God sent ONE man to take away ALL sin.

So to be saved is this. We became sinners from Adam, we became righteous through Jesus, we discover this truth, this truth becomes faith in our hearts, and we walk with Jesus and preach the Good news of What Christ has done.


Now after your saved ... lol , this is the tricky part. God makes sure your walk a normal path, and if you sway, by no means u will go to hell, but he will make your life difficult so you can "repent" and turn back to him again and walk a straight path. From my reckless way, I'm turning back to him~ I hope y'all can too.
