In the Valley (Bless the Lord)
Tim Challies, Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson
Verse 1
When the path that I feared
Is the way He has set
And I long to give in and retreat
Still to Jesus I hold
As I face every step
For the Lord He will give me His peace
Chorus
Bless the Lord! He will give me His peace
Bless the Lord! He will give me His peace
And if I should remain in the valley today
Bless the Lord, He will give me His peace
Verse 2
When the road that I tread
Fills my heart with despair
And it seems that my grief has no end
Still to Jesus I hold
Who will walk with me there
And the Lord He will give me His strength
Chorus
Bless the Lord! He will give me his strength
Bless the Lord! He will give me his strength
And if I should remain in the valley today
Bless the Lord, He will give me His strength
Verse 3
On the road that You walked
With the weight of the cross
All my pain and my sorrow You held
So to you I shall hold
You redeem every loss
For my Lord, you have given yourself
Chorus
Bless the Lord! For he gives me Himself
Bless the Lord! For he gives me Himself
And if I should remain in the valley today
Bless the Lord! For He gives me Himself
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
We fix our eyes upon Jesus, who came for us in His love.
A lovely testimony
didn't u comment you were still 9yrs old w/ a 6yr old sister? pls don't lie to make a good story, it gives Jesus a bad name, thanks and God Bless.
Praise God!!! Glory to Yah the most high!
What a wonderful testimony brother. Pray that you will serve Him with zeal until He comes to fetch you.
Even if this situation doesn't change, Oh Lord, I'll still stand and praise you in this storm
Walking with God through a valley that is leading to emotional turmoil, cognitive distortion and uncertain behaviors is never a bad thing. Its a road that has many signals/signs (miracles) that we never see. It's a road that can become better anytime once you pass a sign. But why fear when God is near?
He is the way and the light. He is the beginning and the end. He knows your ways even before you act upon it. IF HE IS WITH YOU, WHAT CAN STOP YOU FROM GOING FORWARD?
What if there is a situation that is bad or a person who is being toxic in your life? lets Keep walking with God in PRAYER AND PATIENCE. For he will be merciful and show us his way so that we do not have to walk in confusion. He will carry us so that we do not feel the pain thought it is present. He will give us blessings for every challenge we overcome since he is a God of LOVE AND GRACE.
IF THIS GOD HAS DIED FOR ME SO THAT I CAN SEE THE WAY AND REACH THE END, I WILL CHOOSE TO LIVE THIS LIFE FOR THAT GOD ALONE TILL THE END. Amen.
Even in unpleasant times I shall praise and trust God...Hallelujah.... Blessings 🙌 from Kenya 🇰🇪 East Africa
Hallelujah!! 🙌🏻🤍
There will always be valleys. And Jesus is the Lily of the Valley.
I never considered the Lily of the Valley in that way. Beautiful..
We just had our second miscarriage within one year and this song is absolutely so wonderful ❤️ thank y’all for your faithfulness to the Lord in valleys as this song really touches those in the valleys too 🤍
Praying God heals your womb and gives you the desires of your heart
@@barbarafuller6041 Thank you Barbara, that means a lot ❤️
I'm with you praying for you 💝 God hasn't forgotten about you He loves you and He will show up for you ❤️
Ask the LORD to bless your "marriage bed" as in Hebrews 13:4. Every time.
God bless you dear sister
Thank you Jesus for giving your life to save a sinner like me 🙏
I will bless you Jehova, even if I should remain in that Valley 😭😭😭😭😭Jehova I will forever bless you. For I know you will give me your peace, you will give me your strength my Father😭😭😭 I am so broken with this song, thankyou so much, thankyou. Though I failed one of my medicine exams and I repeat the other one in three weeks, Jesus I will still bless you... 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Amen! Boasting in my weaknesses for His strength is made perfect in my weaknesses. When I am weak, then I am strong! 2 Cor 12:9-10
God opened my eyes to the spiritual life when I survived poison. A friend poisoned my sister's drink and I happen to drink it..at my demise God asked me a question and my reply brought me back to life, we battle not flesh and blood. The heart of man is full of evil. I will forever be grateful for the love he has for me and will keep sharing my testimony
Amen 🙏🏼
I prayed a special prayer for someone passing through hard times, a hard time which seem to be mental, financially and emotionally damaging. I pray for this person reading this, that God will come to your rescue, wipe your tears and restore you whole in Jesus name. Amen 🙏🙏
This is a song of such incredible promise, absolute truth, and beauty. He redeems every loss... because He alone has born every one at the cross. I have shared this with many who are going through seasons of sorrow and loss.
What an assurance!!!! Bless the Lord O my soul. May God use this song to heal and strengthen all who are weak at heart. 😇🙏
Amen!
"And it seems like my grief has no end...Still to Jesus I hold...Who will walk with me there...And the Lord he will give me His strength" What a lovely and beautiful hymn!

My daughter recently had a small neck lump which I think is not serious. It has already decreased in size (like that of a pea) but has not completely gone away yet. However, my health anxiety for her consumed me. I was worried and anxious a lot that it affected my appetite and sleep patterns. I've been seeking reassurance lately and sometimes, I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind and my heart is going to burst. I cry myself to sleep and feeling hopeless lately. When I listened to this song while praying tonight, it made me cry. I know these tears will not be in vain because the Lord knows my heart and mind and what I've been going through more than I do. Thank you so much for this wonderful song. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
prayed for your daughter . God bless her
@@_.tabitha thank you so much.
Hey how is your daughter ? Hope she’s fine 😊
@@_.tabitha hello! She's already ok now, Praise God. Thank you so much for helping me pray for her health. Hope you're doing fine too. I'll pray for you too brother/sister.
That’s great Praise God ! ! You’re welcome ☺️ Yes I’m fine by the grace of God
Jesus is our only Saviour.....Jesus is our friend who helps us with his hand of beauty in the valley....Jesus is our true friend and brother....♥️
Listening to this in the middle of the night because i can't sleep,a lot of thoughts going through my mind😢..ooh God give me strength,help me🙏
psalm 103:22- bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion: bless the Lord, o my soul😊
A very beautiful song that calms both the soul and the body.
Praise The Lord for such medicine! :)
Thanks to our God for gave us His peace, His mercy and His great love!
God bless you guys so you can continue worship His Holy Name.
Amen, bless the Lord for he gives me himself. I love you Lord.
This is an assurance that in every situation, hold on to Jeremiah 29:11, 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Aleluia! Glorie Domnului Isus! Tot ce este în noi să laude pe Domnul! Salutări sfinte de dragoste în Hristos, din România! Mă bucur pentru voi, și în duhul meu,, deși nu știu engleză multă, cânt cu voi și mă înfior de bucurie!
Bună din Australia!
Mercy is receiving a reward that directly opposes what our actions deserve.
“Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3
May God richly bless this ministry giving all the glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
To Know Jesus Christ! That is our greatest blessing in life. John 3:16-17. Thank you, beloved. We are blessed by your faithful ministry.
WE LOVE YOU, LORD! YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE! WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY! YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. YOU KEEP YOUR WORD IN THE BIBLE.
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples; Mark 14:22-25, the night before He went to the cross. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood) , the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? Praise. Psalms 113-118.
THE GOOD NEWS
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14.6
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.1 John 2:1-2. The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. I Subscribed.
>>> God knew your ministry before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. Prayer goes out for you and those here. A Crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. ( see"JESUS SAVES") 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".
This praise resounds throughout the earth: "Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves". He testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 1:1-5; 10:30
2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name."
JESUS SAVES
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible)
Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel. "God with us" in human flesh without sin. The Savior was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day never to die again. He is the first fruits of the dead. Only through Him can dead live! Matthew 28:6.
Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how 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:"
THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7
Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."
Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; again 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above.
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:
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.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8.
I am in a season of sorrow. The Sing Conference was such refreshment for me. Sandra McCracken is so lovely and her music just touches me now during this season. Purchased Seasons of Sorrow after hearing of Tim Challies loss and needing all the help I can get. What a blessing to be comforted by the mouths of Christ whose music and words draw us to the foot of the cross and the peaceful waters of Jesus!
Same situation, just bought his book too. Gonna crack it open tomorrow.
We are filled with God the Holy Spirit daily. ASK. GOD. Prayer! Want it. Believe it. Share. For the rest of our days breathing! THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE!
May God richly bless this ministry giving all the glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
To Know Jesus Christ! That is our greatest blessing in life. John 3:16-17. Thank you, beloved. We are blessed by your faithful ministry.

Tim, Jonny, Rich, thank you for translating such profound personal grief into lyrics that lift up and encourage. We trust the One who holds everything together, even when it seems our world is falling apart. Tim, I know you know we continue to pray for you, Aileen, and the girls 🙏
What happened to them?
This song is all I need now !! Amen from Nigeria 👍🇳🇬
You must really love this band a lot .I have seen you in almost of the comments section of their songs
The last stanza! ❤️ Truly, we have good reason to bless the Lord in the valley, for He gives us Himself. That is the most comforting and invigorating truth ever. Thank you for bringing that precious truth into focus through this song.
And He asked us> TO SHARE HIS MINISTRY THAT IS THE GOSPEL HE BROUGHT FORTH THAT SAVES A LOST SINNER AS WE WERE.
May God richly bless this ministry giving all the glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to Lord Jesus Christ! 😇❤️✝️👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
Bless the Lord! For He gives me Himself 🥺🙏🙌
💯❤️🔥🙏
Am blessed with this song...am going through tough times and so my God will give me strength to endure..
Indeed I will bless the Lord despite the pain and sorrow felt. Grief and loss will always be hard but the gospel also reminds me of what God has given, the gift of grace through His one and only Son Jesus Christ who died, and rose again!
Yep. Amen.
Am glad to see the gospel truths affirmed here
amen!
💯✝️🎶
Sometimes you can only see the next step but praise God he is with us in the deepest valley.
It's A Miracle I'm Alive................❤
Though I go through the deepest valley of sorrow and pain, BLESS THE LORD FOR HE GIVES ME HIMSELF. 🙏🏼🥰
Indeed! To have the Lord Himself is such a treasure. He is the Giver of good gifts, yet I desire the Giver more than the gifts. What a privilege, what an honor to be fellow heir with Christ of God and all of His blessings.
Praise the Lord. My tears just begin to roll down on my face 😭 after I listen to this song
Bless the Lord,forevermore!❤😊 Thank you ,Lord,that you give me peace,strength,and much more Yourself🥰
I remember when Tim Challies wrote on the loss of his son. Such a devastating news for any parent. Yet I'm encouraged by the fact that he decided to write a book on this subject. And I'm also encouraged by this song filled with deep truths about our frailty and the goodness of God in our very low moments.
As I listen to that song, these verses form the Scripture come to my mind: "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need." (Hebrews 4.14-16)
May the Lord bless the CityAlight team & Sandra McCracken🙏
Todd Friel of Wretched has done a very good interview with Tim Challies 👍
Amen 💟✝️🙏
Move on dear bretheren🌼🌿🛐
HE has truly given HIMSELF, to HIM I give myself…
JESUS CHRIST NEVER CAME TO EARTH TO START A RELIGION HE CAME TO SHOW US HOW TO GET HOME amen
Thank you for writing this song. It really ministers to my grieving heart.
I understand having just barely come out now on the other side of grieving. Yes, it's rough. "Be still and know that I am God. Ps. 46:10"
I’m with you..
Hugs...
He knows your grief, one day it will turn into dance. He accompanies you on your way to there.
Hallelujah.Praise Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord is enough for today.
Bless the Lord, for He will give me the strength!
I can’t imagine what Tim and family has been going through. May God continue to comfort them.
Thank you Jesus for all you give me, thank you for making me your child❣️❣️❣️🕊️🕊️🕊️❣️❣️❣️
This came at the exact time that it was needed! Of course!🙌 Bless the LORD, indeed!!!
"In The Valley (Bless The Lord)"
(feat. Sandra McCracken)
When the path that I feared
Is the way He has set
And I long to give in and retreat
Still to Jesus I hold
As I face every step
For the Lord He will give me His peace
Bless the Lord! He will give me His peace
Bless the Lord! He will give me His peace
And if I should remain in the valley today
Bless the Lord, He will give me His peace
When the road that I tread
Fills my heart with despair
And it seems that my grief has no end
Still to Jesus I hold
Who will walk with me there
And the Lord He will give me His strength
Bless the Lord! He will give me his strength
Bless the Lord! He will give me his strength
And if I should remain in the valley today
Bless the Lord, He will give me His strength
On the road that You walked
With the weight of the cross
All my pain and my sorrow You held
So to you I shall hold
You redeem every loss
For my Lord, you have given yourself
Bless the Lord! For he gives me Himself
Bless the Lord! For he gives me Himself
And if I should remain in the valley today
Bless the Lord! For He gives me Himself
I've been waiting for this to come out since we heard it at the Sing Conference. I'm looking forward to introducing it to hearts in our congregation! Thank you so much!
I so pray that more churches would lead CityAlight songs during worship time than the rock concert junk or stuff from Hillsong or Bethel !
I was anticipating for this beautiful one to publish too
Bless the Lord! Glory to His name!
Am suffering from bad knee pain anda away from home on business trip, please pray for the Lord to heal me. May the Lord gives me His peace, may the Lord gives me His strength and may the Lord gives me Himself. Hallelujah to Sandra/City Alight for this wonderful song to give me hope and peace. In Jesus name, amen!
We are presently walking the road of grief again. I watched an interview with Tim Challies and Todd Frield about his new book and UA-cam led me to this beautiful song. Bless the Lord for He gives me Himself, and that is enough.
Thank you Lord for giving Yourself to us.
CityAlight CityAlight CityAlight your songs are brilliant. That's all I can say... Please never stop singing. Keep these songs coming 🙏🙏🙏

Bless the Lord He will give me His Peace...Bless the Lord He will give me His strength...Bless the Lord for He gives me Himself...and if I reman, in the valley today; Bless the Lord for He gives me Himself!
Thank you so much for these theologically sound and biblically rich songs. They are so helpful in my daily walk with the Lord. God bless you and Grace to you even more as you keep on with the faithfulness to the sacred scriptures.
May God richly bless this ministry giving all the glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
To Know Jesus Christ! That is our greatest blessing in life. John 3:16-17. Thank you, beloved. We are blessed by your faithful ministry.
WE LOVE YOU, LORD! YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE! WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY! YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. YOU KEEP YOUR WORD IN THE BIBLE.
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples; Mark 14:22-25, the night before He went to the cross. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood) , the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? Praise. Psalms 113-118.
THE GOOD NEWS
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14.6
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.1 John 2:1-2. The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. I Subscribed.
>>> God knew your ministry before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. Prayer goes out for you and those here. A Crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. ( see"JESUS SAVES") 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".
This praise resounds throughout the earth: "Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves". He testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 1:1-5; 10:30
2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name."
JESUS SAVES
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible)
Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel. "God with us" in human flesh without sin. The Savior was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day never to die again. He is the first fruits of the dead. Only through Him can dead live! Matthew 28:6.
Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how 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:"
THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7
Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."
Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; again 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above.
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:
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.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8.
