It is “Saved by Grace.” That is it. Believe the Gospel, 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. Death, Burial and Resurrection. Believe. Simply put, “Faith plus nothing.” Faith. Nothing else. No works. No being a nice guy. No I gave money to this and that. I never cheated on my wife. I paid my taxes. I loved my kids. I voted. I supported my local Church. I was there in the pew every Sunday, never missed a week. I was a deacon. I was a Sunday School teacher. I did ALL that STUFF I was suppose to do. EXCEPT one thing, BELIEVE in the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross, when He said, “It is finished.” His work was done. Mission accomplished. No Mary. No rosary beads. No going to the guy in the little booth and asking forgiveness. All done. Finished. We are saved by believing the Gospel that Paul brought to us directly from the Christ. In his three years in Arabia. Christ taught him EVERYTHING He wanted Paul to know and do. To suffer for the Gospel. And Paul suffered. Faith plus nothing. Nothing else needed or required.

I loved my kids.

Are they Church going Christians?

Amen.

I asked a Catholic priest once how I could be sure I was going to heaven, and not hell.

He stammered, looked very confused and perplexed, and finally said to me: "Well, uhhh, ummm, that is a Great Mystery."
