Greetings @pdc ,
Thank you for your ministry here on Hive....what I am about to say is said with all due respect...please give it an objective hearing.
You said in your post above....
'Amen, if you have Christ in your heart one day you will be resurrected to live eternally with Jesus and God eternally.'/ it should read...if you have believed in Christ....
The Bible says ...'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.' It is faith alone in Christ Alone for salvation. John 3.16..'For God so loved the world, that he sent his uniquely born Son, so that anyone who believes in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.'...translated from the original Greek New Testament by R.B.Thieme Jr. ...quoted...here.
bleujay has tremendous respect for anyone presenting the Gospel especially in multiple languages.....thank you! However I would request accuracy...the Bible says 'believe' again and again.
For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is a gift from God..not of works..lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2.8,9
Thank you for your ministry.
Cheers!
Amen, only by Faith in Jesus Christ are we saved.
That faith in Jesus Christ from the moment we believe begins to transform our lives, change our hearts and make us act like Jesus Christ.
It will also help us stay away from sin.
Also the word of God says that faith without works is a dead faith.
Being imitators of Jesus comes from having him in our lives, in our hearts, which is ultimately the point of those words.
I still understand what you mean and it is valid.
A big hug. God bless you.
