Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His Only begotten Son, that whoever believes (trusts) in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life.

You may experience a moral conversion, going from being immoral to being a moral person, but, if you have not availed of the payment for your sins provided at the cross of Calvary, through faith in it, you are still a guilty soul.
The Bible says: " ... without shedding of blood is no remission of sins." Heb. 9:22 It's not our moral conversion that takes away our guilt. It's the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ

What's wrong with a salvation that's by faith in Christ plus doing good works? Eventually and ultimately, you will trust in the latter more than the former, making you, essentially, trust in your good works alone for salvation. Just as you can't serve two masters at the same time so you can't trust in two Saviors equally at the same time. The focus of one's trust in this scheme will gravitate toward the good works part. Since Christ's work and part are already done so the heart will now focus on doing the good works part which will have to be an endeavor that will go on for life. At the bottom of things, it all boils down to trusting in good works for salvation. It necessarily results in the denial of Christ alone as Savior.

Archaeologists: Noah Scolded A Man During The Flood For Praying The Ark's Prayer

Archaeologists have uncovered and unearthed evidence that Noah scolded a man for praying the Ark's Prayer when the torrential waters started to flood in.

"Noah's Ark, I invite you to come into my heart. Come and live in my heart. I believe that you can save me out of these rampaging waters. Amen!" he prayed.

"Don't pray it in! Get yourself in! Rely on the ark!" Noah shouted. But the man continued to sincerely pray the Ark's prayer without stepping into it. He capped it off by signing a card. Noah last saw him being devoured and gobbled up by the waters of judgment.

It is feared that many today are doing the same. Many are trusting in the prayer they made to the Savior instead of trusting in the Savior through that prayer.

It was the Lord Jesus Christ who worked FOR our salvation, and He offers it to us. To say: "I will work FOR my salvation" is to reject what He did for us. It's saying in His face: "Thanks, but no thanks! I will work FOR it instead."

Don't be proud to reject His offer. Be humble enough to receive it by allowing Him to do it for you, trusting in His work for your salvation.

One time an evangelist was teaching little children a portion of a hymn that says:  "I need no other argument, I want no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, and rose again for me." 

He then asked the children: "Why do you think that I can say that it is enough that Jesus died?" 

Several unsatisfactory answers were given, but then a little girl said: "It is enough for you because it is enough for God."

Exactly! Spot on! 

My friend, learn and realize that the death of Christ on the cross for you was, is, and will forever be enough for God when it comes to your salvation. Do you have faith in Him and what He did on the cross to find it enough as well?

 Pr 29:5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Let's apply this to spiritual deception. The devil is like the man here who flatters you so that you will be entangled and suffer an eternal fall. 

He will make you think that you are a good person, that you are not as bad as the others, that your sins are not as serious as the others, that your good works will somehow cover-up and outweigh the sinful things that you have done. He will make you satisfied with your self so that you will never, ever trust in Christ and what He did on the cross for your salvation. 

Repent! Realize that you are a sinner, helpless, and hopeless in yourself to save yourself. Be roused from the intoxication of having a high opinion of yourself.
