Word of Truth Ministries (WOTM)
Defining and Defending Divine Truth in a World of Untruth™
Hello and Welcome
First and foremost, we have something for those of you without Christ, without hope, and without eternal life.
We pray that you will take a moment and give thoughtful consideration to the facts presented below, and that you will choose… wisely.
The Lord invites you to give Him a hearing – a brief, open-minded hearing.
Christ lived. He went to the cross. Christ gave His life for you. He died and rose again so that you might live. That’s it. That’s the bottom line. It’s all real. It’s all true. It happened.
Accepting Christ’s free gift of salvation is your ticket out of eternal condemnation. We know everyone preaches “hell-fire and brimstone,” and they should, to a degree, because those things are very real, and they await every unbeliever.
The thing is, it doesn’t have to be that way. No one has to experience hell. God wants no one there. It is His hope that every person would ‘repent,’ which, when translated correctly, means ‘change their mind‘ about believing in His Son.
Acts 16:31 “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.”
John 20:31 “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life through his name.”
Belief allows you to walk through the door to eternal life. God made it as simple as that.
The soul is the real you. The soul-you is an eternal being – a being that will live forever, long after your body has returned to the ground – and you have a personal destiny in eternity. Where you spend eternity is up to you.
You have nothing to lose by believing in Christ and accepting God’s free gift. The alternative is… unthinkable.
“The fool has said in his heart, ‘there is no God'” (Psalm 53:1).
To be saved, all that is required is your faith, your belief, your acceptance of the payment made on your behalf. We don’t earn this gift, we don’t deserve this gift, yet it is freely offered by God’s own grace. Religion doesn’t offer that. Religion has YOU doing all the work, trying to earn or deserve something from whatever entity religious people point you toward.
If you truly believe that Christ, the promised and prophesied Messiah, died in your place (which He did), then simply tell God the Father, “I believe Christ died for me. I accept Your free gift of salvation, and I trust in You to take me to heaven when my time comes.”
And your time will come. It will come for all of us.
Please… don’t leave this earth without faith in Christ.
It’s the single most important decision you will ever make.
IMPORTANT SIDE-NOTE:
The most dangerous misapplication of Scripture surrounds the gospel of salvation when people are told they can “invite Jesus into their heart” and be saved. This invitation is not found in Scripture.
Sinful man does not invite a perfect God anywhere.
He invites us.
Salvation is not based on “inviting Jesus.” Salvation is received by faith alone in Christ alone, apart from any meritorious action (earning salvation) on your part (Acts 16:31a). Christ comes into your heart as a result of your faith in Christ. It is automatic at the point of faith – spiritual rebirth from spiritual death. “Christ died for you” is the message of salvation.
If you leave the cross out of the equation for salvation, then there is no salvation. Never leave the Cross-work of Christ out of your belief… never.
Becoming a believer by being saved is about accepting, not inviting. In Biblical salvation, God does the work; God did the work; it’s already done. We extend our hand and accept the gift of Salvation through belief, not invitation.
Thank you for taking the time to consider your own eternal destiny.
It is our prayer here at Word of Truth Ministries (WOTM) that those of you with spiritual appetites, demanding spiritual substance and spiritual intimacy with the Lord, may find WOTM interesting, faith building, edifying, and energizing for daily application to the details of your life.
Categorical studies on this website are more than a narrative, they are written to be absorbed, meditated upon, digested, and put to work in your life. The Holy Spirit inspired Scripture, therefore “Study the Word as a workman.” 2 Timothy 2:15 is a command for your spiritual benefit. The Bible is: “God-Breathed and Profitable for instruction” (2 Timothy 3:16-17); “It is living and powerful” (Hebrews 4:12).
We do not attempt to take the place of the church nor do we attempt to put the church down – by no stretch of the imagination. In fact, feel free to share WOTM among your fellow believers and church groups. The more we know as believers, the stronger we become, God is properly glorified, and His mandates to us to grow in the Word are fulfilled.
