Salvation through Christ


Mosiah 3
 17 And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.

Matthew 7
 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

 Helaman 5
 9 O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world.

Revelation 20
 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
 

    As we read these scriptures we can tell very clearly that we are only saved through Christ.  Our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ expect us to do what they have asked while we are here on the earth, but our salvation is through our savior Jesus Christ.  We need to do what they have asked to enjoy the blessings of eternal life.  We will all fall and sin every day, but through Christ we can be clean again once we ask for forgiveness. Through him change our lives.  Lets all hope that we have good things to read with our Heavenly Father when He opens our Books on Judgement day. (Revelation 20:12-13)

"Daily Thought"

Today I was reading in the Bible and I wanted to share what I learned about. 
Matthew 4:18-22

 18¶And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
 20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
 21And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
 22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

   What I really like about this section of scripture was how these great men didn't ask any questions, they didn't need a reason why, simply they followed the Savior.  I'd like to hope that I would have dropped everything and follow.  That in fact is the question that we should all ask. If Christ asked us right now would we drop our lives and follow.
