Spreading the Gospel
What is this website's purpose?
This website exists to aid everyone in spreading the Good News of God's Salvation by His Grace alone. This is accomplished in two ways. By purchasing an SBG product and using it in your every day life, the world is being exposed visually to messages of the Lord's Truth. At the same time, 100% of the money you used to buy the product is being sent to missionaries who are spreading the Gospel worldwide and in need of Gospel tracks, Bibles, food, housing, tools, transportation, medical aid and much more. The money is not sent by committee decision or favoritism, but by God's Revelation of who He wants it to be sent to. Moreover, it is only sent to missionaries spreading the true Gospel of Christ.
The Gospel
“... There is none righteous, no, not one.”
Romans 3:10
There is not a single person that is perfect as God requires us to be.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
It isn’t enough that you compare yourself to another human being, to think, “At least I am not as bad as him.” The requirement is God’s Perfection and Holiness, which we have all have failed to uphold.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
Being that we are all sinners and therefore lost, our “wages” (i.e. earnings) of our sin is spiritual death. Which is to say, we sold ourselves into the bondage of sin and therefore inherit the same fate as sin. This fate is the eternal separation from God for those who die a physical death in their lost and sinful state, cast into hell for eternity without hope of escape.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
God came in the form of His creation, that is to say, His Spirit connected to a flesh body like our spirit connected to our flesh bodies. God lived Perfectly through that flesh body (whom we know as Jesus) and fulfilled His Law Perfectly in our place, doing for us that which we could never do ourselves. And when He had fulfilled His Law, He took all sin of the world past, present and future upon Himself. And bearing all sin, He allowed Himself to be crucified in our place thereby paying our debt. He bleed and died to take away all of your sins.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
We all fall short of God’s Glory, and for our sin, we face eternal death in hell. But, the incredible news is that God loves us so much that He Himself came and created a perfect record, one which meets His requirement of Perfection and Holiness. And that His record can be switched with ours thereby saving us from our sin.
How Do I Get Saved?
-
You must realize you cannot save yourself, or be saved by any one or anything else, not by any religion, practice, moral behavior or speaking of words. You are hell bound because of your sin. There is no way to undo, balance, or erase sin. Once you sin, it is permanently recorded outside of this world in God Himself.
-
You must understand who Jesus is. You and I are created beings, which is to say that God created our spirit in His image (with his Characteristics - ability to love, innovate, engineer, choose, contemplate, etc.), then connected our spirit to a flesh body. This is not the case for the Lord's time on this earth. God connected His own Spirit to a flesh body, God Himself came to His own creation to fulfill His Law, pay the debt for all sin, and defeat sin. "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." John 1:10 - God is Jesus.
-
You must realize that God didn't have to come and save us from our sin, but He chose to because He Loves you with all His Heart. It was by His Grace alone that He created the Only way to Salvation. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
-
You must understand what the Resurrection of Jesus is. God came in the flesh (Jesus) lived perfectly in your stead (thereby fulfilling His Law on your behalf), took all of your sins upon Himself (past, present and future), and allowed Himself, while being Perfect, to become your sin for you. He allowed Himself to be mocked, torn, tortured, scourged, and ultimately crucified and his flesh body killed upon the cross of Calvary to pay for your sins. Upon His flesh body dying upon the cross, the payment for your sins was complete and His Gift of Grace was made ready for you to accept. As a sign of His Victory, God then rose the flesh body which was crucified 3 days earlier and connected His Spirit to it again and walked among those who witnessed these events and as a last sign, ascended into the sky and departed from their sight.
-
You must by faith, pray and cry out to in your heart to the Lord knowing you are hell bound without any hope, believe that God loves you so much that He came for you as Jesus the Christ. That He lived perfectly and bleed and died to take away your sins. That there is no other way to be saved, but by the Grace of God through Christ Jesus alone. And that God as Jesus defeated death, hell and the grave, raising from the dead as a sign of His Victory for you. You must turn from the world, repent of your sins, and accept Jesus as your Savior by asking Him to come into your heart and give His Gift of Grace to you thereby saving you from your sins.
How do I know I am Saved?
God will make it known to you directly through Revelation of Knowledge. If God has not directly revealed your salvation to you, then you are not saved and need to work diligently with the Lord to get saved. Simply repeating lines from a Bible as though it is a magic incantation doesn't save you from your sins. The Bible is not a spell book, nor does it have the power to save. Rather, it is a set of mirrors reflecting God's Truth. True Salvation occurs only in the spirit of a broken and contrite heart, and only between you and God by His Grace through Jesus the Christ.
The song "Amazing Grace" talks about how God reveals to you your salvation once He gives His Gift of Grace to you.
"Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!"
This event of Grace "Appearing" the hour I first believed, is referring to the life changing event when God reveals to you that you are in fact Saved by His Grace. Not in the language and tongues of men, but in God's language of Revelation directly from Him to your spirit.
Glory be to God, who is our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ!
