  5. How to be saved and be right with God for eternal life!
    1-Admit you’re a sinner and be willing to turn from your own self righteousness to God.
    2-Believe onto Jesus Christ,who being the begotten Son of God, died on the cross, was buried and resurrected for the full forgiveness of our sins as a free gift.
    3-Confess onto God,asking to be saved accepting this free gift of salvation,
    to start a new life being born again after being saved from your sins.

    Scripture links below from the King James Bible.

    The romans road to salvation.
    1.Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
    2.Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
    3.Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
    4.Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all that have sinned:"
    5.Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
    6.Romans 10:9, “That is thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
    7.Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    More scripture.
    John 3:15-17
    15."That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
    16."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
    17."For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

    Romans 5:8-9
    8."But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4,
    1."Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

    Hebrews 9:27-28 (KJB)

    "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

    More Scripture for how people will act before/in the last days.

    1 Timothy 4:1-5
    Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"
    2."Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”
    3."Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth..”
    4."For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving”
    5."For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”

    2 Timothy 3:1-7
    1."This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."
    2."For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,"
    3."Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"
    4."Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;"
    5."Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
    6."For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,"
    7."Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

  6. Now what does your BIBLE tell you now….

  7. The cold may be a benefit to those still under rubble.
    And enable them to survive a little longer

  8. PRAYERS FOR ALL INVOLVED. 🙏God wants people to WAKE UP and REPENT. 🙏#JesusSaves. He will appear to rescue/rapture His Church; 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 9:28.
    Job 38:22-38 ISV
    22 Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen where the hail is stored,

    23  which I’ve reserved for the tribulation to come, for the day of battle and war?

    24  Where is the lightning diffused or the east wind scattered around the earth?

    25  “Who cuts canals for storm floods, and paths for the lightning and thunder,

    26  to bring rain upon a land without inhabitants, a desert in which no human beings live,

    27  to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert, causing it to sprout vegetation?

    28  “Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the dew?

    29  Whose womb brings forth the ice? Who gives birth to frost out of an empty sky,

    30  when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?

    On the Heavens
    31  “Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion?

    32  Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

    33  Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you regulate their authority over the earth?

    34  “Can you call out to the clouds, so that abundant water drenches you?

    35  Can you command the lightning, so that it goes forth and calls to you, ‘Look at us!’

    36  “Who sets wisdom within you, or imbues your mind with understanding?

    37  Who has the wisdom to be able to count the clouds, or to empty the water jars of heaven,

    38  when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods?

    Jeremiah 25:32 KJV
    32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

  9. SO SAD 😞 WE MUST PRAY 🙏🏼
    With Pastor #johnnyx100

  10. These rescuers are true heroes and very brave for placing themselves in the centre of this……

  11. Turks murdered 1.5 million of my Christian Armenian ppl during WW1
    They hv zero remorse. Never apologized.
    They’ve spilled more blood 🩸 than a;l wars combined.
    Let ‘em rot.
    They slaughtered my great grandfather in 1915.
    Read about the Armenian genocide

  12. This is horrible I pray for this people 🙏🙏🙏may Allah help them 🙏

  13. All our prayers be for d people of Turkey n Syria. May Allah Taallah saves as much lives as possible n let both nations bounce back to their feet..

    It pains us to watch this horror..

    Wassallam

  14. The tragedy is not just that of those who lost their lives and those who lost everything but their lives, but the tragedy of those who survived under rubble for dozens of hours only to die before help arrived.

  15. I don't understand why Earth has to have fault lines. Syria and Turkey my ❤️ goes out to you with my Condolences.

  16. Hey Biden! What’s up with the 50 US nuclear bombs stored at the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, right on the same fault line that killed more than 25,000 people? Everything under control, right?

  17. its sad, SO SAD, imagine the ones that are still calling for help but no one can hear them

  18. End the petty war in Ukraine. Make peace.
    The world needs a united humanity.

  19. The actual number of casualties is gonna be much higher. 21k is just confirmed cases

  20. God bless the suffering people.
