Got Forgiveness? How can I receive forgiveness from God?

Got Forgiveness? How can I receive forgiveness from God?: "The word "forgive" means to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt. When we wrong someone, we seek their forgiveness in order for the relationship to be restored. Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. No one deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is an act of love, mercy, and grace. Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person, despite what they have done to you."

Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works?

Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works?: "Answer: This is perhaps the most important question in all of Christian theology. This question is the cause of the Reformation, the split between the Protestant churches and Catholic Church. This question is a key difference between biblical Christianity and most of the “Christian” cults. Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works? Am I saved just by believing in Jesus, or do I have to believe in Jesus and do certain things?"

How can I be saved?

How can I be saved?: "Answer: This simple, yet profound, question is the most important question that can be asked. "How can I be saved?" deals with where we will spend eternity after our lives in this world are over. There is no more important issue than our eternal destiny. Thankfully, the Bible is abundantly clear on how a person can be saved. The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). Paul and Silas responded, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31)."

Why did God make salvation such a narrow path?

Why did God make salvation such a narrow path?: "Answer: In Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus said, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." This passage causes some to question the goodness of God. After all, if He really wants to save everyone, why didn't He make it easier to be saved? Why doesn't He simply let everyone into heaven?"

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Hook Worms: "Okay. Ray, you're really starting to worry me now. Do you actually believe all that? I mean, about a Creator? Your premise is that the world we live in is highly complex and ordered, and that such complexity would require a Creator.

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Judgment Day

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Judgment Day: "The Bible makes it clear that there will be a Day of Judgment. The Scriptures warn, “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished” (Prov. 11:21). However, will the standard of judgment be the Ten Commandments, or something else? Some believe it be the words of Jesus that will judge mankind, based on John 12:48: “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.”"

On The Box: Words of Comfort: The Creator Created

On The Box: Words of Comfort: The Creator Created: "There are two reasons I don’t accept this statement. The first is that only those who are omniscient can say that there is no God. What they mean to say is that with the limited knowledge they have at present, they have come to the conclusion that there is no God, but they really don't know because there may be ample evidence in the knowledge they haven’t yet discovered."
