SATAN SAVED!

     Can you imagine a newspaper headline like that?!  Did you know that unknowingly many "Christians" are essentially saying that Satan is "saved"?  That's right, saved.  One of the most commonly cited scriptures in the Bible is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (NKJV)  According to Webster's dictionary, the word 'believe' means "to agree with" or "acknowledge" that something exists.  Satan agrees and acknowledges that Jesus Christ exists.  For that matter, many people "believe" that Jesus exists (or at least existed)!  If you use a standard dictionary to define the word 'believe' then, by definition, almost everybody is "saved".  Just dig a little deeper and look up the word 'believe' in a concordance and you will find that the original Greek word that we translate into "believe" is "pisteuo" meaning "to adhere to, trust in, rely on".  Ahhh!  Now we see where many who think that they are saved (or "all set") are not! How many people who profess to be Christian truly put their trust in Jesus and rely on Him?  Do you just agree that Jesus was a real person or are you putting your trust in Him and relying on Him?  If you have not fully put your trust in Him yet, DO IT NOW!  (Tomorrow may be too late.)  Study His word and know it's REAL meaning!

     We, at Step by Step, put all our trust in Him and rely on Him.  Won't you?  He has provided, is providing, and will provide all our NEEDS!  Won't you be a part of His provision?

     We pray for blessings upon all who read these words and special blessings upon those who support this ministry in whatever form they may choose.  God bless you all!


GOD'S WORD: For God so greatly and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.  John 3:16 Amplified Bible
