[SIZE=4]Jesus said TO DO!
[SIZE=4]Joh 8:30 As He spoke these words, many believed upon Him.
Joh 8:31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word[SIZE=4], you are My disciples indeed.
Joh 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps My Word, he shall never see death.

Did Jesus come to show mankind just how easy it is to be saved? Did he just say believe, then just trust I did it all for you? Or did He make it very clear what we must do to inherit eternal life with Him!!
I believed that Jesus came to take the place of fallen mankind, who was incapable to do anything especially to repent and seek the mercy of God, I was told the way was narrow, but in reality it was actually a wide road, where everyone believes they were born a sinner, and Jesus was their remedy which kept them safe, and added them into the kingdom, no questions asked, nothing to do, such as preparing the heart, forsaking all known sin, and actually coming out of the pig pen, before God would even consider forgiveness and mercy.
But from what Jesus said in the above scriptures, I can clearly see, there was much more He was sharing then just believe, and all is well, He went on to say you must continue in His word (truth) which was clearly revealed throughout all the Bible, calling mankind everywhere to repent or perish, and then forsake the world, and follow Him on the narrow road that leads to life.
Notice, Jesus said, we are TO DO, in many scriptures, He sure didn't say, I will do it for you, or it’s already done for us, NO He said clearly we are to KEEP HIS word, or die!
It’s simple, but a lost message, clouded by all the vain, man made teachings circulating throughout the Christian world and church system. No one will go to the word of God first to seek truth as their life depended on it, they take the word of mere men, who have also been deceived into believing the great lie, thus remaining under the great delusion! 2 Thess 2-10-11.
It all begins with getting away from easy salvation, and getting into the truth! We must continue and remain in His word and truth; it’s a working faith in love, devotion and purity! That comes from a heart made pure through faith and repentance unto life!

I completely agree with you, and so will all studious bible students. Jesus did say TO DO many things, he also said NOT TO DO many things.

To add to your comment, I have repeatedly heard on Christian TV shows, "all you need to do is invite Jesus into your heart and you are saved forever." But Jesus makes it quite clear, you must repent from your serious sins, that means you turn around and no longer practice those sins. One key point on this matter is in the book of Revelation. Jesus himself is speaking to a congregation that symbolically represents the congregations that would be on the earth during the time of the end, when all the bowls of woe would be poured into the earth.

Addressing the congregation of Thyatira, Revelation 2:20-22, (NIV) says: "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways." It is interesting to note, Jesus focuses on immorality. That seams to be a under current in many congregations, teenagers and adult Christians having casual sex, when the bible is specific in saying at Galatians 5:19, (NIV): "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery"

How can a person claim to be saved if they practice fornication or immorality, they must repent and stop doing it!!!
