“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
TheChurchNews.com “One of Satan’s greatest lies is that men and women cannot change and should not change. However, in order to be authentic to “our real, true selves, as sons and daughters of God with a divine nature and destiny … then we will all need to change.” …
Humility and faith in Jesus Christ are requisites to accessing the enabling power of His grace, which makes it possible to overcome all obstacles, all challenges and all weaknesses.
“The Savior worked out His infinite and eternal Atonement so that we could in fact repent, change and become better. We can actually be born again. We can overcome habits, addictions and even the ‘disposition to do evil.’” — Kevin S. Hamilton, General Authority Seventy, Saturday Afternoon Session.
John 3:3-5 “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. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 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.”
John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
In addition to the biblical references above our dear Lord has provided dozens of other passages clearly showing how salvation is obtained. Those of us who trust and love the Lord knows there was nothing about Mr. Hamilton’s talk that was true.
Jesus also told us that those who worship Him do so in spirit and truth – John 4:24.
The Church can’t bring itself to do this because all they can offer is a works-based salvation which doesn’t include the Jesus of the Bible.
Sadly, Mr. Hamilton’s talk repeatedly told members that following Jesus really means they must follow their prophet and do what he says not what the Bible says.
Please pray for the Lord to open their eyes and break the chains that bind them to the lies they believe! You can also read Mr. Hamilton’s talk in full at General Conference, “Then Will I Make Weak Things Become Strong”, April 2022.
With Love in Christ —
