A Question to Ponder

If a person believes in a counterfeit gospel, will that gospel save them if they believe it sincerely?  For example, if a person believes in a Jesus Christ that is very different than the Jesus Christ presented in the pages of the Bible, will they be saved?

A person can have money that is counterfeit and not know it.  They may believe sincerely that that money is real and will try to purchase stuff with it or save it in their savings account.  But when it is found out that it not legal tender, they lose it. It has no value.

There are many who believe in a counterfeit savior, one who is not in the pages of the Bible.  Or maybe one who has the same name as the Jesus in the Bible and maybe some similar stories as the one in the Bible but there are key things about him that are not anything like the Jesus of the Bible.  But they feel that if they are sincere about their belief in him then that is what counts.  It's like the old adage,  "it's the thought that count".

Sadly, on judgement day, they will find to their dismay that they believed a counterfeit gospel, a different Jesus than the one in the Bible.  Sadly they will find that this counterfeit Jesus can not buy their redemption or save them from eternal damnation.

This is why it is so vitally important that people who say they believe in Jesus study the pages of the Bible to be sure the Jesus they are being taught about and believing in is the REAL Jesus and not a counterfeit Jesus or a Jesus of their imagination....one that they have made in their own image instead the one in the Bible.

The real Jesus = real salvation....a soul that is saved.
The counterfeit Jesus=a false salvation and a soul that is lost for eternity

Be sure of what Jesus you have believed in.  Read and study your Bible!  Get to know the REAL Jesus like bank tellers get to know real money.  Then you will know when someone comes peddling a false Jesus.
