This image illustrates the Salvation Process, which consists of six steps that describe how a believer experiences transformation through salvation. These steps are: Conviction, Repentance, Faith, Forgiveness, Justification, and Regeneration.
1. Conviction
The Holy Spirit first makes a person aware that they are a sinner in need of a Savior. This is the first step toward salvation because only when a person realizes they cannot save themselves by their own efforts will they turn to God for redemption.
2. Repentance
When a person recognizes their sin, they must repent—turn away from sin and surrender their life to Jesus Christ. Repentance is not just feeling sorry for one’s sins but a true change of heart and willingness to follow God’s guidance.
3. Faith
When a person responds to God in faith and believes that Jesus Christ is the only Savior, God grants salvation. This step involves trusting that Jesus’ blood cleanses sin and fully committing one’s life to Him.
4. Forgiveness
When a person comes to God in faith, He forgives their sins and makes them clean. God blots out the record of sin, removing any condemnation, and restores a right relationship with Him.
5. Justification
God not only forgives sin but also declares the believer righteous, as if they had never sinned. This is the doctrine of justification by faith, meaning that righteousness is a gift from God, not something achieved by human effort.
6. Regeneration
God does not stop at forgiveness—He brings about a complete transformation within a person’s heart, making them entirely new. This is called regeneration, where the Holy Spirit works within a believer to create a new nature, leading them to live a different life as a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Conclusion
This image describes the journey from realizing one’s sin to experiencing God’s transformation and becoming a new person. This process is entirely by God’s grace, and the believer’s role is to respond through repentance, faith, and obedience. Salvation is not just a one-time event but the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith, growing closer to God, and living out His will.
“I want to share a teaching with you. The path to heaven is walked by faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Only through faith in Him can you reach it. The ultimate message of the Book of Romans is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, trust every word He speaks, and follow His teachings, for His teachings come from the Father. As children of God, you must obey the Father’s instructions.
How can you follow the teachings of Jesus? Jesus said that you must love God with all your heart, love others as yourself, and keep His commandments. Though these principles are simple, few are able to truly live them out. The Lord Jesus understands this well, for He knows the weaknesses of humanity and the struggles of the flesh. That is why He looks at your actions after baptism and your transformation after repentance, rather than dwelling on your past mistakes before you came to Him. Likewise, do not fixate on the faults of others, but instead, strive to help yourself and those around you rise above past failures and live a more meaningful and radiant life.
‘All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.’ This sin refers to a way of life—a failure to live with the attitude that God deems right. The attitude that pleases God is one of integrity, righteousness, and uprightness. If you do not live with this attitude, you are in sin and fall short of God’s glory. I understand that the ups and downs of life do not always allow people to remain in their best state. Therefore, through Jesus Christ, I have redefined sin and its requirements. I know that humans will never be able to live up to My standards at all times. The more I understand you, the more I cannot bear to see you live in sin. That is why I sent Jesus Christ to save you—so that through faith in Him, you may be freed from the bondage of sin. Perhaps when I created humankind, I did not anticipate that you would struggle to meet My standards, but the gospel of Jesus Christ is My will and the ultimate proof of My love for the world.
You must understand My heart. These words were written by the Spirit of God to reveal My thoughts to the world. Elena Yaling is My scribe; you must respect her work in recording these messages, for this is what I have allowed to happen. Blessed are those who receive these messages, and blessed are those who hear My words. Strengthen your faith, do good deeds, and take action. Do not be afraid of difficulties and tribulations.
I love you, and Jesus Christ loves you!!”
Amen!

過了午後耶穌才開始關心自己的需求,這時天地突然變暗起來,有一說法指天地變暗是因為這時全人類的罪都落到耶穌身上,在十架上的耶穌成了罪的象徵,所以連天父都對他轉臉,不忍看他,因此耶穌在這一刻感受不到天父,覺得自己非常孤單,被離棄,才說出那句經典名言「我的神!我的神!為甚麼離棄我?」,就是詩篇22篇開頭的第一句,之後耶穌說「我渴了」,兵丁卻給他沾了醋的海綿,可是醋是不能解渴的,再那之後耶穌說「成了(It is finished)」,在斷氣前大聲喊著「父啊,我將我的靈交在你手裡」。耶穌斷氣的那一刻地大震動,聖殿的幔子裂開了,人們才覺悟到耶穌真的是神的兒子。 之後兵丁又回去看釘在十字架上的人,發現耶穌已經斷氣了,就沒打斷他的腿,但卻用槍刺他的左肋下方,流出血與水。通常被盯十字架的人可以拖延到20多小時才身亡,但耶穌才6小時就死了,後世醫學家研究耶穌的死因,推論他極可能是心包膜破裂,因為心包膜破裂時才會化成水,說白話點就是耶穌是因為心碎而死的,不是因為釘十字架而死的。你感到震驚嗎? 我也是。

God’s Words – For His Lost Children (2) May 7, 2011 God wants to tell you a true story. There was a farmer in the country. He had a tree. Every time after working, he would take a rest in the shade of the tree. Because of the luxuriant branches, he often fell asleep unintentionally while sitting under the tree. When he woke up again, it was already time for sunset. For a few days in a row, he couldn’t finish his field work. In the end, the harvest naturally dwindled. That year everyone had a good harvest, but his harvest was insufficient. He felt sad and asked God for help. God sent the angel to tell him to cut down the branches and prevent the branches from becoming too lush, because the tree grew too large and sucked up soil nutrients. The farmer listened to the angel’s words, and he did it. Later, because the branches were not so dense, he would be illuminated by the sun when he rested, so he no longer fell asleep like before. The next harvest, he also had a good harvest.
God wants you to review what you do every day. If you have any behavior not thoughtful, you have to improve it. If you can’t change on your own, you have to find other ways, such as looking for a pastor, family members or friends. If they can’t help, you have to come to me your God.
God says ” Anyone who asks me for help knocking on my door, I respond. God helps self-helped people, I love the world, every one of them before they were born, I have known them.
My Children, help me to find me back my lost children. Convey my love for the world and ask them to return to the arms of Heavenly Father, and don’t get lost again. Only by my side can there be peace and joy.
Lost people! My love for you is so deep, why can’t you recognize me as your creator? I love you, let Jesus Christ take away your sins, let Jesus Christ bring you the message of eternal life. Why are you still not obedient? Why do you still go to idolatry and make me sad? I am your father, you are my children. My love does not change, even at the moment the heaven and the earth pass away, I still love you. So you have to repent and convict your sins, thus my love is worthy, and Jesus’ sacrifice was not in vain. As for those who do evil, I don’t recognize them as my children. They will pay for their evil actions and unrighteous methods. They will die in the lake of sulfur and fire ,and suffer from the fire. At that time, they will have no chance to repent. I will not listen to their pleadings. Even if a righteous person intercedes for them, I will not forgive. I will never forgive those who should be punished because I am just. My children, especially the lost children, hurry back to my embrace. Only with me can you receive the protection you deserve.
At the moment of destruction of heaven and earth, the land will be cracked, and the sky will be heavily clouded. The tsunami will be soaring, the mountains collapsing, and the sea pouring out. Only my people can come to my kingdom, the rest will be wiped out with heaven and earth. The evil will stay in the abyss and suffer. This kind of thing will happen, this is my arrangement, it is destined. Be aware and watchful. My words and the love I give you will never change. “
Lord loves you! God loves the world. Amen!

#note: going to idolatry means that you love something/someone more than God. They could be idols or property or money or fame or something/ someone you place more importance than God.
In the New Testament, repentance is called a change of mind, and the literal translation in Greek means “change your mind.” Every time you change your mind, replace it with God’s, you are repenting. Whether it’s regarding yourself, sin, God, people, life, future, or everything else, when you are willing to change yourself for God, you are repenting.
When we are willing to turn to God, to receive God’s love, to know that He loves us, and begin to love God, that is the repentance!
When we are willing to know Jesus’ salvation, to put down our own opinions and to obey God’s will, that is the repentance!
When we shed tears under the touch of the Holy Spirit, and have actions to transform ourselves, it is the best proof of repentance. God treasures us, including every teardrop we shed, He collects it.
God does not rebuke people but loves us very much. If we truly love God, we should learn from Him, not rebuke people, but love those whom He loves. What He loves is not only the Christians and the godly ones, but also all human being. Sincere and godly Christians are humble and gentle, and in them the likeness of Jesus Christ is seen.
When people’s hearts are touched by the Holy Spirit, they truly experience God’s presence, then the repentance will come. We just bring people to the Lord Jesus and pray for them. When people repent, the Holy Spirit will work to make people convicted that they are sinners and need the Savior Jesus Christ. Once they decide to turn from their sins, their repentance will lead them to the forgiveness of God.
When I truly repent, I will never go back how I was in the past, because in Christ, I’m a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come!
If you need someone to pray for you or your family, please leave your message. I can pray for you. I hope this sharing helps you to turn to God . Amen!
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:37 NLT
I am convinced that what happened to us is of God’s love, in God’s time, and by God’s way, with the purpose to build up our character to the God’s glory. It is our character, not our work, that brings us into eternity.
With God’s guidance, everything will go in a good direction. Put our uncertainty and worry about in the hands of God. Believe in Jesus, you know that it is better to put yourself in the hands of God than in your own hands, because God has mercy and love, in order to build our character, He will place us in certain situations.
God will not let us suffer in vain, and there must be lessons for us to learn from our suffering. Everyone has a different lesson to learn, but I know that this lesson will be accomplished in our character building, making us more and more like Jesus, and making Christ magnified in us. Thank God that overwhelming victory is ours through the Lord Jesus who loves us!
Yes, Jesus loves us! We are God’s children. We are not alone to face hardship, let Jesus accompany us to go through the darkness with the hope to see the light. Let’s pray for God’s mercy and grace on us, pray for giving us humble and obedient hearts, full trust in the Lord Jesus, and wise actions to deal with the challenges and setbacks of every life encounter. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen!
