Interesting thing my pastor said about billboards

Yesterday at church my pastor was giving an illistration about a church he was working on and he said "You know People need to wake up and just see what they need to do in obeying Jesus and making it to heaven", he then said, we need to make a billboard that says "OBEY ACTS 2:38 OR GO TO HELL" It really opened my eyes into seeing that just one simple command that we disobey God can send us to hell ..yeah we can ask God to forgive us of our sins but that isnt gonna cut it with God because scripturally it says we need to turn from our sins in repentance and be baptised in the name of Jesus for our sins to even be remmited and then we need to recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost. If you cut one of those things out there isnt salvation as it is written. And that is just the beginning... Paul later states in Romans that we need to walk in the spirit and in Truth. So that tells us that we need to get the Holy Ghost as a requirement and to walk, which means to daily live in truth, and we know that God is Truth and he said be Holy for I Am Holy. SO, therefore we need to turn from our sins, get baptised in Jesus name, recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost and then put on holiness and then we have truely obeyed acts 2:38. God demands obedience and it is required for all to obey to even recieve the Holy Ghost as stated in acts 5:32..so no obedience no salvation.

One thing you need to remember, you are never going to be perfect in this life. We can try our best but without the grace of God we would all fall short.

It is good to see other people take a stand about God. The world we live in needs a good healthy dose. When I see posts on here asking if it is ok to change the bible or is there really a God, I cringe. These people need help and I hope they get it before it is too late.

yeah I hate to see people asking to change this and that ...that was actually part of the same sunday school lesson on which my topic is ..everyone wants to change the church and the way things go the way we worship, dress, speak, and even what we read or use as a bible...God says I change Not..and I recall he said not to change anything in the bible..anyway I just wish people would try to live for God and not try to see what they can live for and see where they can fit God in.
