In Romans chapter four the apostle Paul gives two examples of how God saved people before the coming of Jesus Christ to die on the cross.
Genesis 15:6 tells us Abraham “believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.” This reckoning by faith Paul tells us was fourteen years before God commanded Abraham to be circumcised and over four hundred years before God gave the law to Moses. Therefore, he was not justified by works or Law keeping.

How do I know that God has fully accepted the death of Jesus Christ as payment for my sins?
“When Jesus died, He died as my representative, and I died in Him; when He rose, He rose as my representative, and I rose in Him. . . . I look at the cross of Christ, and I know that atonement has been made for my sins; I look at the open sepulcher and the risen and ascended Lord, and I know that the atonement has been accepted. There no longer remains a single sin on me, no matter how many or how great my sins may have been. My sins may have been as high as the mountains, but in the light of the resurrection the atonement that covers them is as high as heaven. My sins may have been as deep as the ocean, but in the light of the resurrection the atonement that swallows them up is as deep as eternity.”

Sins committed in the past cannot be washed away by bathing in a holy river, by giving to (most) saints or needy people, by doing most good deeds (sat karma), and similar other actions.
Sins can be washed away in only two ways… you may ask if you really want to learn them; please don’t bother if you are only trying to increase your knowledge…

The gospel of grace does not nullify God’s Law; it fulfills it. In fact, it is the only way the Law of God could possibly be fulfilled.
The highest motivation for living the Christian life is the result of God’s sacrificial love for us. If we love Him we will keep His commandments (John 14:15). We want to please Him because He reached down in His grace and mercy to save us while we were sinners condemned by God’s just Law. Therefore, we want to love and please Him wholeheartedly.

There are 8400000 forms of life.
I have been through many of them.
Then I was given the human form, the best of them all.
The only form of life in which the (selfless) meditation of the Supreme One is accepted.
Have I really used it?

When we trust or yield ourselves to Christ, there is a true commitment just like in a healthy marriage.
How tragic that many many marriages are dysfunctional and are a poor example of long lasting commitments.
Jesus made an eternal commitment to us (Rom. 8:38-39). In response to His love we are called upon to pledge ourselves to him.
We love Him because He first loved us (1 Jn. 4:19).

The Bible is God’s perfectly inspired word. The written Word testifies to God’s self-revelation in His incarnate Son, Jesus Christ. All Scripture, both Old and New Testament, is a clear testimony to Jesus Christ. The Bible is not just a record of revelation of God, but it is revelation itself, and it is an infallible witness of God to men.
“The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isa. 40:8). There is nothing like the abiding Word of God.

I often hear people say, “I am afraid I don’t know if I have enough faith.” How much faith do you need in order to be saved?
The Bible does not teach that you are justified because of your faith. Faith is not works.
Faith is nothing more than the instrument to receive our salvation. Nowhere in Scripture will you find that we are justified on account of our faith. The Scripture says that we are justified by faith or through faith. Faith is nothing but the the channel by which this righteousness of God in Christ becomes ours. It is not our faith that saves us.

Another of my Master’s Guru’s writings in a mixture of North Indian languages (primarily Punjabi and Urdu) (be warned that this post may not be suitable for beginning spiritual seekers…) :
“Denaa hisaab pahena bande zaroor kal noo-oo
Kitna chupa le zahar hazoor kal noo-oo
Badiyaan which umar guzareen
Akhar noo muskil pareen
Paapan de beray vapari
Rowan ge jhoor kal noo
Zhulam kamaan lein chahey
Gal de which pehney fahein
Ketney chupa le chahey
Hooney mashoor kal noo-oo…“
A day will definitely come when you will be held accountable for all your actions in this human life
Irrespective of how much you try to hide them (the bad or sinful ones)
You spent the entire life doing useless and sometimes harmful stuff
In the end you will face a lot of difficulties
You are a big merchant of sins
You will cry a lot (in the Court of Justice after death)
(But then it will be too late)
You might do atrocities here
There (in the Court) they will hang you with a noose around your neck
Irrespective of how much you try to hide them (your wrongful actions and sins)
They will be made famous tomorrow (a day in the Court)…
The message for people like myself is to be very careful… think before any action… whether it’s right or wrong and to avoid it if it might be wrong… because the law in the Court of Justice is very strict… there everything is well-defined… there is no leniency for anybody in the Court…
