What About Uninterested People?
II Cor. 4:3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god (satan, devil) of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Rev. 21:6-8 And He said to me, “It is done! I (the Lord Jesus Christ- God) am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Rev. 20:10-14 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades (Hell) delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Some Testimonies:
(Everyone's life story is different and the maker of it all, the Lord Jesus Christ, is right there in the middle of it all for the same purpose - He's there for you too, just believe to receive.)
Some Salvation Main Points:
You have a built-in desire toward God and you will have to address that appetite at some point in your life. You will want to be clean, hate guilt and you will crave purity. You will need a friend. You may be sitting there saying, "But, don't I have friends?" Yes, but you have never had a friend like Jesus. Nobody can handle the information about your life as well as He can. He is the most consistant relationship you will ever know. Human friends vacillate in their reaction, depending on your mood or theirs. Jesus Christ knows everything about you and never changes his opinion of you. You cannot enjoy His world without His companionship.
All people have a built-in need for immortality, a craving for an eternity. Each of us wonders about eternity. Everyone fears for their life. In the Bible fear is the beginning of knowledge, understanding and wisdom of God who has all power to accept or condemn you. What is death like? What happens when I die? Is there hell and then the lake of fire? a heaven? a God? a devil? What happens? The only guarantee you will have of a future is to have the eternal One on the inside of you. He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
ALL ARE CALLED, SOME SEEK & SOME FIND
Titus 2: 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
John 10: 7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Mercy, Forgiveness, Believing & Salvation
Gal. 19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation (acceptable payment) by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Peter 3 :18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned
All sin is serious. Removal of sin comes at a cost. With God, the cost is considerable for any and all sin. The cost requires a significant sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood and life for the forgiveness and removal of sin. The Lord God Jesus Christ
UNBELIEF (no FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ, hard hearted)
Unbelief is not taking God (the Lord Jesus Christ) for his Word. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is believing, trusting, hoping and loving Him with all your heart.
With God's awesome power, He spoke the Word and created everything, including this world.
Using mankind, God spoke the Word and created the Word of God, the Bible.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Rom. 10-12 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
Matt 12:30 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, . .
1 Peter 3:18 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, . .
Acts 10:43 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.”
1 John 2:2 2 And He Himself is the propitiation (acceptable payment) for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
Rev. 20:11-15 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
REPENT ("turn to God", turn from unbelief to believing the Lord Jesus Christ)
Acts 17:24-31 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
repent from sins was commanded for as part of salvation before the resurrection.
repent "turn to God" for salvation by believing and confessing Christ resurection gospel is now commanded
repent from sins after salvation to please God, strive towards holyness (maturity), to prevent Christs disciplining and for Christs rewards
Acts 20:20-21 20 how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 26:19-20 19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.
SALVATION (FAITH - beleive in the Lord God Jesus Christ)
JESUS CHRST - THE ONLY WAY & NO OTHER
Isaiah 44:6 6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.
Matt 7:13-14 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Acts 4:12 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
John 3:16-18 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:36 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 8:24 23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
John 10:9 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Luke 18:8 8 . . . Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?
Heb. 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
John 6:67-68 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Gal. 3:11 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
Heb. 10:38-39 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
John 3:3-8 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
1 Cor 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
Joel 2:32 32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.
Rom 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Rom 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Gal. 5:1 1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
James 4:2-3 2. . . Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Eph 1:12-14 . . . that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 8:24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Rom 4:2-5 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1 John 5:11-12 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has [d]life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, [e]and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Gal. 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
OBSERVATIONS & COMMENTS
James 4:3 Don't ask amiss and don't be mislead by those saying; to be accepted by God and to be saved, you must tell God "you want to give your life to Christ", "you want to be saved", "you want a personal relationship with Jesus Christ", "you want God to forgive your sins", "you want to have a relationship with God", "you want Jesus to come into your heart", "be the Lord of your life", and/or "you want Jesus Christ to come into your life". Desiring these are understandable and wonderful desires, however these alone are not what God seeks from you. He seeks your FAITH in Him and CONFESSING to Him and others with your mouth that He suffered, died, was dead for three days, buried and He rose from the dead in glory and all power - all for you and as many as will come to Him in BELIEF.
If you want to be "saved", there is only one thing you must do. Praying to God for salvation is to turn from unbelief and telling God and others that you BELIEVE and have FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ with no doubting as the Apostle Paul teaches. If you ask God to accept you because you believe the Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection gospel that Christ died for your sins according to Scriptures and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve and many others, then He will seal you with the Holy Spirit (Christ in you), make you born again, save you, come into you, be the Lord of your life, be a Child of God, a Saint and you will have a personal relationship with God. He will walk with you through the rest of your life, you will never be alone and you will be with Him in heaven and on a new earth forever. From this decision, now go through the rest of your life pleasing God by not doubting and don't let unbelief creep in. When appropriate serve Him and let others know of the good things He has done for you and with God withstand rejection from unbelievers and suffering if need be, as God walks with you through your life. Study God's Word, obey, turn away from your sins and live life pleasing to God.
RECAP (If you don't believe, then don't be hard hearted, seek the Lord Jesus Christ, understand that you are a sinner, repent (change your mind) and believe in Jesus. Salvation is believing in Jesus Christ and confessing to the Lord Jesus Christ and others the following, without doubting):
The Lord Jesus Christ, once for all, spilled His blood and died for your sins according to scripture
The Lord Jesus Christ was buried
He rose again the 3rd day according to scripture
He was seen by Cephas then the twelve
then seen by over five hundred brethren at once
and last of all He was seen by Paul also.
Believe and trust only in this with all your heart and for salvation do not add anything to your confession.
Finally, examine what you have been taught in the past and compare it to what the Word of God's teachings. Don't be part of or participate in any false teachings.
(Saved - Study to know what manner of life He wants you to live. Go through the rest of your life pleasing God by not doubting, don't let unbelief creep in, when appropriate serve Him and let others know of the good things He has done for you and with God withstand rejection from unbelievers and suffering if need be, as God walks with you through your life. Study God's Word, be baptised to show others you are a believer, participate in the Lord's Supper (communion) for remembrance of what He has done for you, obey and live life pleasing to God.)
Summary:
God, the Lord Jesus Christ, is kind, exceedingly patient and long suffering and merciful, is loving and faithful, . He said over and over that it's always been only a few (remnant) people that are accepted and eternally saved. The rest are in hell waiting for the great white throne judgment day to be eternally cast into the lake of fire. He said to seek him with all your heart and you will find Him. He said either you are for Him or you are against Him. He said to love Him with all your heart, soul and mind.
Who are you? Where do you stand? Choose today, no choose now and trust the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart to believe and confess to Him and others with your mouth that you believe He suffered, died, was buried, was dead for three days and rose again.
