Showing love.

1 Peter 3:9 (King James Version)

"⁹Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing."

If someone include friends or family hurt, judge, insult, abuse (beat), or make fun of you, don't pay them back with the same thing they did to you like hurt them back or insult them back because these are evil. Forgive and bless them (evil people) with love. It is like paying them (evil people) back with good deeds such as praying for them, forgiving them, and loving them. Be merciful because evil people don't know what is right and really need Jesus's help.

Ephesians 4:32 (King James Version)

"³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

Be good to the people as Jesus was good to them. Be gently and forgivable like Jesus Christ. Forgive people as Jesus forgives people. If you don't forgive them, Jesus won't forgive you.

Matthew 5:11-12 (King James Version)

"¹¹Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

Evil people insult or mock (make fun) you because they did the same evil things to Jesus on the Earth. Be happy because you are on the way to the heaven. Show your love to the evil people as they do evil things to you, and the reward would be great or big in heaven.

To Be Saved, No Works or Good Action or Manner Needed

Ephesians 2:8-9 (King James Version)
"⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast."

You do not need to be a very good person with all good actions or behaviors or trying to be "perfect" to be saved through Jesus Christ. These good actions or behaviors will not work. You just have to do a simple thing, believe the gospel which tells the good news about Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection (back to life after death). Also believe that Jesus died on the cross to clean all people's, include your, sins (bad deeds or actions that pull you away from God) with His blood. Ask Jesus to become your personal savior (saves you from going to the hell) and ask Him to come to your heart and confess Him that you are a sinner (admit or tell Him that you are bad and do wrong things) and want Him to forgive you and your sins in your mind and heart. That is all you have to do. Sounds very simple?

How can I know for sure I'm saved?

Answer:

1 John 5:13 (King James Version)
"¹³These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

Eternal (forever) Cannot Be Lost

John 10:27-29 (King James Version)
"²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

²⁸And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

²⁹My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

When anyone once accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, Jesus will come and live in thier heart forever period. It means Jesus will never leave or go away from their heart to lose their salvation. He will always stay and live in their heart as He keeps and locks their salvation forever. Nothing can lose their salvation (way to be saved)

Romans 8:38-39 (King James Version)
"³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁹Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Noone or Nothing can cause us to lose God's love or God's heaven gift (salvation). Nothing possible to do that because Jesus have His awesome power to keep God:s love and heaven gift forever.

Pride

Proverbs 16:18 (King James Version)

"¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

So be humble, when you aid someone or do something for him/her, honor that person more than yourself. Have no pride in any good deed you've done, but be proud only of your good comrades.

Matthew 7:3-5 (King James Version)

"³And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁴Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

⁵Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

Think Like Christ

Philippians 2:1-5 (King James Version)

"¹If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

²Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

⁴Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"

How come? Sin is in us already without knowing?

Romans 5:12 (King James Version)

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ

"¹²Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

The first man and woman on the earth before us, Adam and Eve, broke God's law by sinning. They didn't obey God's command and they got disconnected from God. The sin was passed from Adam and Eve through death. When Adam died, the sin passed into Adam's children. When those children died, the sin passed to their children and passed on the generations. That is how sin spread all over in the world, including us.

Christ's love

Romans 5:8 (King James Version)
"⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Jesus Christ love us include all people in the world. He willed to die for us, while we were still sinner, on the cross because He loves us very much and wants us to go to the Heaven with Him. He is waiting to knock all people's heart incude yours to open and live in their heart.

Spiritual Fruit (good deeds or personalities)

Galatians 5:22 (King James Version)
"²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Showing the reflection of love and faith through action

Galatians 5:6 (King James Version)
"⁶For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."

The Action shows the love to the people and gives them the impression of its faith.

Always Be Thankful and Joyful

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (King James Version)
"¹⁶ 16Rejoice evermore.

¹⁷Pray without ceasing.

¹⁸In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

Always be happy because God provides us free gift, Eternal Life. Also always be happy that Jesus died on the cross to wash our past, present, and future sins away forever and He also loves us. Also be happy as Jesus is your best friend and personal savior, and He will never leave you. Be happy as God protects you all the time. Happy is faithful. Continue pray no matter which bad or good things happen in your life include our .Always give thanks to God because He did everything for you. He is perfect.
