prove ourselves that we be in the faith(2 Cor 13:5).\u00a0 So prove yourself.<\/strong><\/p><h1>Why is Jesus Needed<\/h1><p>For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; <br \/>(Romans 3:23-25 KJV)<\/p><h1>Believe and Have Faith<\/h1><p dir=\"ltr\">And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.\u00a0 (Matthew 18:3-4 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.(John 3:15-21 KJV)<\/p><h1 dir=\"ltr\">Repent<\/h1><p dir=\"ltr\">And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (Revelation 1:5 KJV)<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\">Be born again (of the Spirit)<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother&#8217;s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit (John 3:2-8 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. <br \/>(1 Peter 1:22-23 KJV)<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\">Obey God&#8217;s Word, Endure, and be Holy (set apart for God)<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father&#8217;s commandments, and abide in his love. (John 15:10 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name&#8217;s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Matthew 24:8-13 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. (2 Timothy 2:3 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (Hebrews 12:7-8 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV)<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">I pray all who read this come to simplicity in faith of Jesus Christ that you may enter in at the straight gate upon the narrow path.\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
