1 | Salvation through Jesus alone? Help!!! | Rom 10:9 | marleen | 47317 | ||
I was once a catholic myself. I know how difficult it is to witness to staunch Catholics. I have a few scriptures that might help you to witness to your friend. John 14:6 states: "I am the way, the truth and life: no man cometh unto the father but by me." Ephesians 2:8 states "For by grace we are saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." I think that is the main scripture. We don't have to work for gifts. All we have to do is receive the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. We cannot attain salvation through works, if we did we would never attain salvation. We strive to be as perfect as we can but we will never attain perfection while on this earth. When we sin 1 John 1:9 states "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". There is another thing that I feel led to discuss with you that is prevalent with Catholics. They believe in praying to saints. 1 Timothy 2:5 states: "For there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. I hope these scriptures help you in witnessing to your friend. It is not easy but with the help of the Holy Spirit, you can do it. I led my Mother to the Lord one month before she died and if there was ever a staunch Catholic she was definitely one. Nothing is impossible with the Lord. Just pray that the blinders would be removed from your friends eyes and the truth would be revealed to them. I hope this is a help to you. | ||||||
2 | Salvation through Jesus alone? Help!!! | Rom 10:9 | Ms. Trish | 47325 | ||
Dear Marleen, thank you for this testimony regarding leading your mother to Chirst.... I have elderly parents who not only are devoted catholics, but due to language barriers and lack of literature when they were young.. they learned an unusual Catholic doctrine. I am now a Holy Spirit filled Christian and it saddens me to see stubbornness rob my family of joy. There is such judgment for other denominations and I feel like I am waiting for the "Donkey to talk" and for the "scales to fall from their eyes". Again, thank you for this testimony. . . it gave me hope. I know that when I gave my heart entirely to the Lord His promise is to save my ENTIRE household. Praise the Lord Jesus... Sincerely in Christ Ms. Trish |
