Am I saved?! If not, how can I be free?

Let me get straight to the point. If you die tonight/now, where do you think your soul will end up? Hell or Heaven? And how confident are you?
If Heaven was your answer, are you confident that your good works outweigh bad ones? Please answer these following questions..
  • did you ever lie, even if it is a white lie?
  • did you ever looked at a person with lustful thought?
  • did you hate someone?
  • did you use/steal someones personal things without telling them?
If your answer is "yes" for at least one of the above questions, you had committed sin. Yes, 1 John 3:4 says "Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness." So wages of sin is death, as mentioned in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". From Adolf Hitler to Mother Teresa, no ones good deeds outweighs Gods righteousness. They both need to cleanse their sins either it is killing people or its simple childhood lies, everything counts as a sin. This clearly states that we all fall short of the glory of God as Romans 3: 22-23 says "For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" 

So now we know we all are sinners, whats the remedy? Who can redeem us from this sinful bondage and free us? Well, let's look into scriptures. 
If you have answered Hell for my first question, keep reading☺

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Redeemer : Christ Jesus
John 3:16 states God the Father sent Jesus to save all of us. We all need to trust in Him. He died for our sins and rose again on the third day. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." 
Solution: Confess your sins
 1 John 1:9 gives us a solution how to get rid of those sins. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". Because Jesus became a perfect lamb and died for our sins
What extent are my sins forgiven? Distance between east to west
Can you calculate the distance between east and west? It goes forever right? As Psalms 103:12 says "as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us" our sins are forgiven and taken care of completely.

So in summary, when we believe in Jesus, the Son of God as our Savior and confess our sins to him, He forgives us by His grace and grants us eternal life. Thereafter, we need to be in His Word and not continue in sin but glorify the Lord by our pure and sinless life.

To take your salvation to next level as Peter 2:38 says “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

My Journey in search of Truth

Hello there! I want to share my story about how I encountered God and started pursuing Him. Growing up, I was a curious kid. I was born into a core Hindu family where everything can be considered to be a god. Literally speaking, Hinduism believe in 3 crore goddesses. So I believed and grew up thinking that all gods are equal. I used to visit temples a lot where a lot of god idols are there. But back of my mind I always had a doubt that which one is listening and which one is answering. I went to a Catholic school where my mom is a teacher. So I learnt how to pray basic prayer to a Christian God Jesus. Hurray! I have one more God added to my list now. So whenever I need something, like getting good grades, getting good gifts from my parents and if I need to find something that I lost before my mom finds out, I used to test these gods. So likewise, it was Jesus' turn in my trial. Magically, everything that I asked was answered. I was happy! So I continued to use Him like I w...

My manager said she would give me a raise, and asked me to take promotion interview too..Everything is going really well and smooth.  But.... Source:  https://wallpaperaccess.com/roller-coaster-desktop On Friday the 21st, 2020 as I was waiting on my STEM OPT(work authorization extension) approval for over a month, I called out to USCIS to see my case status after my husband Sandeep literally pursued me to call. I was expecting nothing but just wait for few more days.. but the customer care lady said that on Feb 18th, my case got denied by the USCIS and the denial reason will be mailed to me directly. I was shocked and had nothing to say to her. I looked to my husband Sandeep and all my life flashed in a moment..losing job, going back to India leaving my husband, raising a baby alone...! Oh My God! I broke into terrible tears....

Dating & Relationships: What does Godly Dating really mean?

             “Dating”- a common devalued fancy term used by this generation to try out people to satisfy their desires.  Meeting a person, knowing each other, getting closer beyond their limits and finally breaking up with them for not feeling compatible enough is one sort of dating. Whereas the other type is a mere fornication, where a person meet the other person just to fulfill their bodily pleasures. Everyone now thinks this is so cool and is nothing but being open minded -- completely forgetting that they are flying away from God.       I have always been asked by my friends that “If you won’t try, how would you know what he actually is? How can I get stuck in that relation for life long if we are not really meant for each other?” My answer for them is  “Did our parents choose/try us before giving birth or at least while raising us up? or did we even choose/try them and check the compatibility factors between...
