Word of Truth Ministries (WOTM)

“Believers are intended to be the living truths of God; the best apologists of Christ are those who demonstrate His life outwardly to the world.”

– C. S. “Buddy” Craig

Hello and Welcome

For those of you who seek spiritual substance and spiritual intimacy with the Lord, we pray that you will find WOTM interesting, faith building, and edifying for daily application to the details of your life.

For those of you who are without Christ, without hope, and without eternal life, we pray that you will take a few moments, give thoughtful consideration to the following, and choose… wisely.

Christ Died For You – He Just Wants You To Believe

That’s it… that’s the bottom line

Believe

Christ lived. He went to the cross. He died and rose again so that you might live, through belief. It’s all real. It’s all true. It happened. Belief allows you to walk through the door to eternal life. God made it that simple. Your belief is all He wants. It is His hope that every person would “repent,” which means “change your 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.”

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 your choice.

You have nothing to lose by believing in Christ and accepting God’s gift to you. 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 for sin, made on your behalf. We don’t earn or deserve salvation, yet it is freely offered by God’s 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.

Please… don’t leave this earth without faith in Christ.

It’s the single most important decision you will ever make.

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 and rose from the dead. 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.

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 it) on your part (Acts 16:31). Christ comes into your heart as a result of your faith in Him. 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.

 

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. We are simply a non-denominational, unbiased source for Biblical Truths. Feel free to share WOTM among your fellow believers, church groups, and the unsaved.

The following links are for you. They will answer many questions and equip you with real-world solutions to real-world problems.

 

(As a matter of personal principle, we try not to honor satan by capitalizing his name or title or anything else that references him (even though it is grammatically correct to do so). The only exception we make is at the beginning of a sentence (and he’s lucky he’s getting that). Why do this? This seems rather petty, does it not? We do this because satan is not worthy of any respect, and because he hates it when he is mocked, ridiculed, or disrespected. Satan, since his first fall by negative volition, shows improper respect for God. He disregards God’s true title. He is always contrary and disrespectful to God (thus we return the favor in-kind by not capitalizing satan or lucifer).
