Another thing that the Holy Spirit taught me this weekend was that Christianity is the truth. This is because we don't make our own salvation. We need mercy and grace and love to have salvation. Jesus had this all. He chooses us to be His children and He loves us since He died on the cross. He has mercy and grace on us so that we would soften our hearts and be convicted by the Holy Spirit. Religions based on "deeds leading to salvation" show that if your good deeds are greater than your bad deeds then you will enter the kingdom of god. However, if you are the one controlling your deeds and your salvation, what is the purpose of God? Aren't you God yourself? Sins can only be paid off by death. It is not by what you do or do not do. READ Romans 6:23 When someone murders another, in a society setting, we wouldn't let this crime pass by lightly. We wouldn't let volunteering in the community or some sort of good deed cover up this murder. This crime stays on our permenant record for life. I don't think the punishment for the crime would be light either. I think this person would have to have jail sentence for the rest of their life. This is like sin, it cannot be covered by good deeds. It is something that stains us for life and instead of a life sentence in jail we would receive a life sentence in hell. And what about internal sin? You can't do good and cover that since it is inside your heart. It isn't something you do.
