We have often tookrepparttar simple message of Jesus saves, complicated it to such an extent, that many seeking him are turned off. I remember beforerepparttar 126507 Lord saved me. I was hurting so I went to a local church for help. The pastor talked with me, then handed me a sheaf of papers that I had to read and complete before I could joinrepparttar 126508 church. I didn't need that; I needed Jesus....and this complicated way of going to Him turned me off. However, a few months later, while sitting atrepparttar 126509 kitchen table readingrepparttar 126510 Bible (Psalm 40) that my dear late Mama gave me, I looked up to heaven, and said, "God, if you are real, save me". Immediately, Jesus came into my heart and I knew I was a new creature.

Which model to we present to others...the 1954 orrepparttar 126511 2005?

Ancient Writers Reveal Penalty of Eternal Death

Written by Paul Griffitts


Continued from page 1

The dream of men in past ages was that there might be some way to obtain immortality. Some philosophers dreamed that man had an immortal soul. But they did not know God, nor His Word. Only One has had immortality so far. That isrepparttar Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling inrepparttar 126506 light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

That which is immortal cannot die. It is not subject to death. It is man's desire. Can it be obtained by mortal man? Dorepparttar 126507 Scriptures hold out any hope that man could ever become immortal? Yes. But this obtaining of immortality is only on God's terms, not by any philosophies or ofrepparttar 126508 heathen or any creeds. It is only reasonable that one must partake ofrepparttar 126509 divine nature in order to have a resurrection and immortality. The idea that Achilles should be mortal in his heel showsrepparttar 126510 foolishness ofrepparttar 126511 heathen mind. True immortality has been brought to light only byrepparttar 126512 gospel. It is incorruption. 2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest byrepparttar 126513 appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light throughrepparttar 126514 gospel:

The traditions of men and their religious institutions tell us that immortality is put on at death. But that is contrary to Scripture. There we are told thatrepparttar 126515 dead shall be raised incorruptible. Then is when this mortality puts on immortality and this corruption puts on incorruption, and not some time before. 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, inrepparttar 126516 twinkling of an eye, atrepparttar 126517 last trump: forrepparttar 126518 trumpet shall sound, andrepparttar 126519 dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to passrepparttar 126520 saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Sorepparttar 126521 early writers knew The Truth and taught what Jesus Christ andrepparttar 126522 apostles taught, shouldn't we? Romans 6:23 Forrepparttar 126523 wages of sin is death; butrepparttar 126524 gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
