Spiritists, Occultists, and Esotericists, Oh My!
Much of what people think is new and better spirituality is neither new nor better. "What exists now is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing truly new on earth." (Eccl. 1:9 NET) The purpose of this study is to reinforce the necessity of God's Word as the anchor of truth and light that exposes all falsehood, and to expose all other spiritualist philosophies has having one thing in common: hatred of that true Light by the false light. "For such are fake apostles, fraudulent workers who try to pass themselves off as apostles of Christ. And this should come as no surprise; Satan presents himself as an angel of light. So it is to be expected that his servants also present themselves as servants of righteousness. But in the end they will get what they deserve." (2 Cor. 11:13-15 TGNT)

#Bible #Jesus #truth
Salvation is an offer of adoption that you accept by trusting the Jesus who rose from the dead. It's a gift, so you can't earn it or work to keep it; you can only live in humble gratitude for it.
Jesus is the only way to be reconciled and adopted by God as our Father. This is the Good News! Jesus Christ died for our sins according to Bible prophecy (the word of God), then he was buried, and then he was raised on the third day according to prophecy.
When we accept this Good News, we’re sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, guaranteed eternal life and cleared of all charges. Then we live to please our Savior.
