Many say salvation is obtained by:
Belief, belief, and nothing but belief
So help us God
But, demons believe
More so than most humans
They know exactly who Jesus is
What authority Jesus wields

Yet, they have no salvation…

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16 – 20)

The fix is to restore our relationship with God by receiving His salvation then following His commandments for our lives. Continue reading The Emptiness of Godlessness
