39And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
You only have to believe that Jesus died for your sins on the cross.
Grace is appropriated by faith in what God has done in Christ on the cross, setting us free from the bondage of sin, bringing salvation and eternal life. In Jesus Christ, God's grace is open to all people.
He did this back in eternity before the foundation of the world.
Roman Catholic AnswerGod is eternal. Time only exists for people who change. When Our Blessed Lord became a man, He entered into time, and died on the Cross for our salvation. That sacrifice of Our Blessed Lord on the Cross occurred 2,000 years ago, but the effects are eternal, as He is eternal. The Mass is the way in which we are made present to His Once and Eternal Sacrifice on the cross back on Calvary two thousand years ago. Through a miracle of God, when you are at Mass, you are witnessing the actual Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord on the Cross back then, and the graces of It are made present for you (if you are in a state of grace!)
The gift of Jesus Christ dying for you on the cross and eternal life. But not everyone accepts that.
Initiate and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Salvation according to evangelicals is by faith in the work of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for a person's sin. You trust what Jesus has done, not what you have or haven't done.
The cross is the symbol of Jesus Christ who was crucified on a cross and to many Christians it stands for eternal life because Jesus died on the cross but rose again 3 days later.
When Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, offered Himself upon the Cross and died there for our salvation, He did it for everyone, not just adult Catholics-everyone: including your neighbors, your enemies, and your children. You are responsible for bringing your children up in the faith, and there is no greater gift that will ever receive than their eternal salvation. They need to be there early and often to learn this, but we have to learn it first, or we will have nothing to pass on to them.
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross for the sins of the world, and that if we accept this sacrifice and have faith in Jesus we can receive salvation.
The salvation of mankind. By dying on the cross He saved humans from certain death and eternal hell with the condition that we must accept Him as the only way to attain heaven.
Gods mission was to send his only son Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of the world, and so we could have both salvation and eternal life.
the Jonas brothers are born again believers in Christ Jesus. They believe that Christ died on the cross for the world filled with sinners so that just by believing on Him, we can spend eternal life in heaven with christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
