When someone says, ‘I think about Jesus’ - or ‘I think about the gospel at least once a day - when I wake up or when I go to bed, this reveals something terrifying..

They don’t believe the gospel.

They think they believe it because they’re thinking about it - maybe they say a prayer, give a thought - nice! but I have news for you - that’s not how God works..

I don’t wake up, go to bed, eat my lunch and remind myself that my name is Tim - or that I’m a man..

Why?

Because - my name is Tim and I am a man.. Full stop. It’s my identity. It doesn’t require constant mental reminders.

Reminders, remembrance, occasional thought - that’s dead religion - it’s actually satanic - and it’s not truth.

That’s what the Bible says about true belief in Christ.

Believers ARE saved. Believers ARE sealed. Believers ARE in Christ.

We’re not thinking about it before bed. Not trying to hold onto it during the day. Not needing to ‘remind ourselves’ of it - or ‘remembering it’ at set times.

It’s a present tense reality. It’s a settled truth, not a recurring thought pattern. I don’t care if you believe something else / do as you wish.. but there is only 1 truth.

When someone’s relationship to the gospel is ‘I think about it at least once a day,’ that’s a sign - straight from Scripture - that they haven’t believed it and the future for them is going to be extremely hot, painful and very uncomfortable.

When you truly believe the gospel, it becomes a reality - not some mental exercise dependant on your memory.

The gospel is not a thought or an idea. It is the final and ultimate truth.

And truth doesn’t work to a schedule.

Everything else is a lie - a deception - and as pretty as it all might sound, or as innocent as it all might look - it will all lead to an eternity of suffering and death. Not just a month or 2 - but an eternity.

Believe the gospel ! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

They love John 6:44, but skip John 12:32.

Reprobate heretics cling to “No man can come to me, except the Father… draw him” as if it’s proof that only a chosen few are drawn.

But they ignore Jesus’ own words in John 12:32 —
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me.”

He was lifted up.
He does draw all.
Not just the ones you think are “elect.”

Twisting Scripture to prop up your theology makes you a heretic — not a teacher.

Diabolical for some - but truth whether we like it or not.

Apostasy is best defined as ‘another gospel’ and ‘another Jesus’ (2 Cor 11:4, Gal 1:6-9). Atheists aren’t apostate - they can not be. They reject God outright and have nothing to do with Jesus at all. Apostates are those who claim to follow Christ but promote, believe and teach a false gospel. It’s the teachers, churches, and institutions that twist the truth, leading people into a counterfeit Christianity. Apostasy isn’t leaving the real faith - it’s clinging to a version of ‘faith’ that denies the gospel of grace. A person who believes the correct gospel (1 Cor 15:1-4) can never depart from that faith.

Many religions, such as Islam and Hinduism, teach repentance in the sense of turning away from sin through one’s own efforts to achieve salvation or spiritual progress. This focus often places the burden of self-correction and moral perfection on the individual. While these efforts may appear noble, they ultimately lack the certainty and sufficiency of salvation found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Bible, however, teaches repentance as a change of mind (from the Greek metanoia), specifically regarding how we approach salvation. Before faith, we may trust in our works, religion, or morality to save us, or we may not think about eternity at all. Biblical repentance occurs when we recognize that none of these things can save us and instead place our full trust in Christ’s finished work on the cross.

This change of mind is what leads us to believe the gospel: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Salvation is not about fixing our sin ourselves, because we are incapable of doing so. Instead, it is about realizing that Christ already paid the full penalty for our sin. As Romans 4:5 states: “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

Through this understanding, we are set free from the impossible task of trying to overcome sin in our own strength. We no longer worry about sin in the sense of earning our way to heaven, because Christ’s death was sufficient to pay for all sin—past, present, and future. As believers, we are called to live a holy life, not to earn salvation, but as a response of gratitude for the gift we’ve already received (Titus 2:11-14).

This is the simplicity and beauty of the gospel: Salvation is not about us; it’s about what Christ has already done. By trusting Him, we have assurance of eternal life, not through our efforts but by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). This is why Christianity offers the certainty and peace that no religion can provide.
