Jesus has indeed paid the price in full for fallen humanity. Praise God! We who belong to Jesus know that by Grace we are saved through faith and not of ourselves it is the gift of God and not of works that we should boast. However, I believe the disciple James wrote that ‘Faith without works is dead’

It concerns me that many Christians seem confused in this area. It is my fervent prayer that the bride of Christ stop criticizing one another and get on with the High calling to with love and compassion get the job of saving the Lost accomplished.

I feel very privileged to be part of a ministry at TICC where there are many
new believers from different walks of life and different cultures. We have the love of Christ in common and have with Almighty God’s help formed a preview of His wonderful idea of family.

I also thank God daily for a Pastor who has the temerity to take the Gospel ‘where angels fear to tread’
and come back to Canada and humbly teach his flock to fear no man but
love with the love with which our father God loves us.

Perhaps the Pope and our Roman Catholic friends need to concentrate as do we on Jesus and what he has already done.

The Gospel is for the saved and the unsaved.For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith.The works we do,are works of faith not works of the law.

Gal 3:12
Yet the law is not of faith,but the man who does them will live by them.

The righteous shall live by faith not by laws and principles.Gal 2:20.Love fulfills the law and His love compels us.The law does not bring faith but what it does is to bring the knowledge of sin.The believer who embraces the law will short circuit his faith.The devil will tell him why his prayers are not answered.Col 2:14

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,not counting their sins against them.2 Cor 5:19,1 Jn 2:2
The church is dealing with the issue of sin and the wrath of God.That was alrady dealt with 2000 years ago at the cross.

The question is,‘Are we reconciled to God?Or are we still dealing with the issue of sin and His wrath?’

The world has a sin issue!The church has a grace issue!(Propiatiation)

God’s punishment and wrath has been fully poured out on the body of Jesus at the cross for the sins of the whole world!We need only believe and respond to His love!

The hour has come that the focus is not on how many churches have been planted, or how many people are becoming christians. But how many are receiving the gospel? With recent events that have shaken Asia. God is telling us that no matter of religion and piousness can save us when we are faced with the inevitable question of death. It all comes down to whether people have received Jesus into their lives. God protects only His own and the more people don’t know this truth, many will not be covered by the blood that protects. Just like the night in which the death angel came and took all the first born of egypt. But for them that had the blood, death passed over from them. Jesus came 2000 years ago to be the passover lamb, because without the blood, we are not protected. Thank God for His son, thank God for the blood. But now the world must know. cos the hour is very short.
Jesus is the answer for the hour.

Jesus, in the person of the Holy Spirit, lives in many people, be they Catholics, Christians, muslim, Hindus, Buddhists, even the those who have no religions;the only criterion-is they are so full of love of the kind that comes from Christ (whether they realise or not). Afterall, Jesus never talked about christians or Hindus, Buddhists, though the later two were already in this world when Jesus came to this world 2000+ years ago.

Amen. I would be concerned to read statistics that said a greater percentage of Christians and religions sought salvation by works than those who accepted divine grace! Unfortunately, I think that condition already exists——

I believe most of the people on this blog are christians!
Christians i believe means the lovers and followers of Christ, right?
May i ask then why is it that no one is quoting what the master pointed out to us concerning these important points on salvation and sin???

Every one seems to be repeating in one breath the teaching and doctrine of PAUL!!!
Personally, i prefer Christ words over Paul who was a self appointed apostle of christ, who never knew, walked, talked, sat or prayed with Jesus Christ (interestingly he was the only person who allegely saw the vision of christ on the way to Damascus and the account versions he gives of this event differs in his letters he wrote later).
Salvation is too big and important to me at least, i am not willing to put my soul at risk on the words of any self appointed apostle whos words contradict the very teaching of the man (Jesus) whom he is supposed to be following. 

Christ told us that the way to salvation was be keeping the commandments and that the person who teached man to break the very least of the commandments will be called the least in the kingdom of God.  So Jesus has announced his verdict on those who teach men to abandon the commandments of God.  Take your pick brothers and sisters!

Dont worry guys because Islam will spread, Islam will advance and no body could stop it. Becasue Allah (God) loves it. Every sin is accountable and questionable. We have to answer every act of us after death.

Dang! You HIT IT *right* on the nail!

I fully agree.

This is the gospel that both Christ & Paul preached!

Whatever is fake is bound to fade and whatever is true is bound to remain. Lets keep advancing the Truth, because Islam is not a threat to the Truth.

christianity is flawed and will be overrun

Who cares about religions and politics?! I want salvation and God, your Allah, gave me that through Jesus Christ. All my sins are forgiven. That’s what I need. Thank You!

bible says, the one comes after me is mightier than I.and I will not be even worth to carry his chappals.
Who actually said this according to christianity?
Is it god or jesus or holi spirit or john
1. If it is god, then are we missing something about the concept of god. Then you will have to say the god which you talk about is an inferior guy?
2. If it is jesus, then you are talking that someone is out there who is superior than the ‘one and only son of god’???
3. If it is holi spirit, excuse me… Did you say holi spirit,  father(god) and son(jesus) constitute god… That means one part of god is inferior??
4. Obviously it can’t be john, bcoz he comes the last in the list, if you say other wise, then you will have to say that part of god-  father, son, holi spirit- was not evolved at that time….
Think about it and learn islam and find out what islam answers to this

to all the people who give comments before me :

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Like it or not, trust or distrust : before all creation shall see Jesus The Son Of God coming again, The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached to all place, to all mankind, to all the earth. Amin.
GBU ALways Pastor Peter Youngren.

The “problem” with religions, it seems to me, is that they get in the way of true spirituality because of their dogmas and traditions. I say this having been raised in the Roman catholic tradition and having gotten to know Jesus in later life—-on my own as it were. Lets kick off the church coverings and gather around Jesus!

Well put. That is probably the greatest secret of your success with the Muslims. You are not bothered by their religious beliefs, so you shouldn’t be with other religions as well. I love your approach and this is a good model for those who must reach people with different races, views and practices. You have one worldview—Jesus’ view and that is all that is important.
Thanks, Pastor Peter.
