Apart from Jesus, there is no salvation, no forgiveness of sins, no relationship with God, and no Heaven. Without Jesus, a person will suffer the punishment for sin in Hell. We have more opportunities, more ability to communicate, more tools than any generation ever had. Don't let this opportunity pass by. Share the good news of Jesus Christ with those around you.
If you have God's Spirit in you, you will resist the sinful impulses that rise up in you. You won't do it perfectly. There will be many times when you still sin. But if your faith is getting stronger, you will find yourself increasingly resisting the temptation to get angry, gossip, lust, worry, etc.

There are several ways you can be absolutely sure that you are saved. First and foremost, you can know you're saved because Jesus Christ died for you. You can also know you're saved because of the internal witness of the Holy Spirit. Finally, the Bible itself assures you that you're saved.
READ MOREGod desires all people to be saved and offers salvation freely to all people. No one in the world is excluded from the offer of salvation. Those He sends to Hell are those who have rejected His free offer of salvation. Because they have rejected Jesus, they must still receive the punishment for their sins.
