This brings me to my 2 most favorite verses EVER:
Romans 8:38-39
38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nothing in this world or any other can separate us from the love of Christ. No matter how much sin is in our life, Christ is bigger than it all and has already paid the debt for it. All we have to do is acknowledge we are sinners, turn from the sin and do our best to walk with Christ daily.

ColinHenson I believe what you say that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ and that we are secure in our salvation. But I fear that some one can misunderstand your statement,"No matter how much sin is in our life."
In 1John 3:9 it says, No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 5:18 We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.
Ephesians 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
There must be a changed life that is produced from our salvation experience. We are no longer under sins dominion. Yes we as Christians sin, but our union with Christ and the Holy Spirit will not allow us to continue in sin.
The scripture warns that there will be those who think they are Christians, but are not. We as true believer hate sin in our lives and will find deliverance because it is not in our hearts to continue in sin any longer. This is the condition of a heart that has been born again.
I have met those who call themselves Christians and try to get away with as much as they can, they excuse themselves, they make light of sin. They say their good deeds out weigh their bad, therefore God must except them.
Being a true Christian is to be a holy person, which means to be set apart for a special purpose.
We carry the Holy Spirit in our hearts. We are like a Church building. There are things you would never think or do in a church, that is why we must come out and set our selves apart and live holy lives

I truly like what youve said. Well put Jonathan!; There is so much to learn in the Bible; It could take days @ best to try and condense what Gods true meaning for us to learn and incorporate into our lives is and to barely scratch the surface of His purpose for us. I am no scholar; but in my humble understanding of justification/and judgeing which is His alone;Ive come to the conclusion that we are to be purified,before we can come into His presence to be judged.I dont want to go into detail of my understanding. But repentance,purification,judgement,and everlasting life or death. THank you and the many others who help to guide us in the right direction.------;--;{(@ <+++>

Dear Fellow Sinners,
I know its very, very hard for us being of the flesh to truly understand unconditional love as God has for us. So that even when our sins are too much for us to understand how someone (let alone a perfect God) could say to us "its ok your forgiven child", no matter how many times you have sinned even when you think yours is bigger then the sins of others, its not, all sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord".
But if you repent of them in Jesus name JOHN 14:13 “And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. JOHN 14:14“if you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it”. Here we have clear truth in Jesus words that if we ask anything in his name it will be given to us he does not give conditions to what we must do or ask for to achieve this, he simply says ask anything in his name and he WILL do it.
LUKE 15:7 “I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more then over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance”.
All these passages saved me every time I thought I would never be able to have God’s forgiveness most times its truly that we are not forgiving ourselves the Devil is constantly in our ear saying “God will never forgive you for that” but that’s a lie from the Father of Lies. God is love and he delights in forgiveness and only asks that we have faith in Jesus and repent by faith we must say “I KNOW JESUS IS STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE ALL MY SINS” when we don’t truly put all our faith in Jesus we say to our selves Jesus is not strong enough to bear all my dirty sins, once again this is a lie from Satan to hold back your faith.
Jesus is sooo strong that he can take the sins of the World, and all he asks is for us to REPENT and love the Father. This prayer may help some but it’s not for everyone cause everyone has had a different path lead them to the Lord but this is what I used:-
“Heavenly Father I know I don’t deserve it but please Father in the name of Jesus forgive me my sins, please come into my life and give me a new heart and make me whole again, replace all I have given up, and all that Satan has taken from me, so that I may be worthy of your love, in Jesus name Amen”.
Now every time Satan says to you, “there is no way God (who is pure love by the way) could forgive you for that”, you simply say “I have been forgiven for that sin and I remind you, that you ARE defeated by the power of the Cross” no matter how many times he brings it up simply say it again “I have been forgive for that sin and I remind you, that you ARE defeated by the power of the Cross”.
Jesus didn’t die for the righteous, he died for us SINNERS!!
(sorry really felt like I needed to make that clear wasn’t yelling really)

Can someone refer me to scripture that talks about those that have never heard the word of God not going to Hell. E.g. Native Americans who never heard the Gospel and died

Hi Pammalu,
Here is an answer from www.gotquestions.org
Question: "What happens to those who have never heard about Jesus?"
Answer: All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle—everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own hearts, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.
Instead of debating the fate of those who have never heard, we, as Christians, should be doing our best to make sure that they hear. We are called to spread the Gospel throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The fact that we know people reject the knowledge of God revealed in nature must motivate us to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Only through accepting the God’s grace through the Lord Jesus Christ can people be saved from their sins and rescued from an eternity apart from God in hell.
If we assume that those who never hear the Gospel are granted mercy from God, we will run into a terrible problem. If people who never hear the Gospel are saved, it is logical that we should make sure no one ever hears the Gospel. The worst thing we could do would be share the Gospel with a person and have him or her reject it. If that were to happen, he or she would be condemned. People who do not hear the Gospel must be condemned, or else there is no motive for evangelism. Why run the risk of people possibly rejecting the Gospel and condemning themselves when they were previously saved because they had never heard the Gospel?

The Word is clear here, God says that ALL humans i repeat ALL humans (who have or have not heard the Word) will be raised at the last day and given a chance to live, some who have done good to the resurrection of life, and others who have done evil to the resurrection of death.

I found this on the link that you posted:
Jesus Christ is celebrated, adored, and worshipped by billions, yet He remains unknown to them. They are deceived and worship the wrong Jesus! Who is the true Jesus Christ? Do you know?
Could you elaborate on this please? Thank you.
