The Constant Church of God presents clear answers to your questions, directly from the Bible!

The churches of mainstream, traditional Christianity erroneously believe that God is trying desperately to save the world NOW, while Satan the devil is doing all he can to prevent God from succeeding.

Is that what the Bible says?

Is God trying to save mankind NOW?

Is today the only day of salvation?

Don’t just take my word for it. Open your Bible and prove it for yourself.

Turn to Acts chapter 4.

Peter and John had just healed this crippled man at the temple.

And all the people who saw this amazing miracle were so astounded they ran out to Peter and John.

And the religious leaders of the Jews demanded, “By what name or by whose power did you do this?”

Peter boldly answered them, “By the name of Jesus Christ!”

Now look at verse 12.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Of the 8 billion people in the world today, latest data reveals close to SEVENTY PERCENT are non-Christian!

If salvation is only by the name of Jesus Christ, then what about the billions of non-Christians who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ?

What happens to them?

Too bad?

Sorry?

You just lost out on eternal life?

Is that how it turns out for those individuals?

Now turn to John chapter 3.

Now here's a verse that's quoted very often; and, it’s misunderstood almost all the time.

John 3 and verse 16 says, “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.”

But what if they never had a chance to believe in Jesus Christ?

No eternal life for them either?

So God simply shrugs His shoulders and writes them off?

But the Bible says that God is no respecter of persons.

Since there is no favoritism with God, why would He allow those people to perish?

The truth is God does NOT want anyone to perish.

He wants EVERYBODY who has ever lived to receive and enjoy His gift of eternal life!

So God has laid out His masterful and magnificent plan to give every man, woman and child who never heard the name of Jesus Christ; who never had the opportunity to believe in Him, their first and only chance to hear the truth.

How will God provide all of mankind this opportunity?

The answer is in Revelation chapter 20, which describes three resurrections.

The first resurrection occurs at Christ’s return, when God’s Church — His called-out ones; the firstfruits; the Elect — are changed to immortal spirit life.

They are the true Christians who — despite ruthless persecution, intense intimidation, severe trials and tests — remained faithful to God, all the way to the end.

As spirit members of God’s Family, they are now the rulers and teachers in the Kingdom of God!

Next comes the second resurrection.

The rest of the dead — those who lived and died without ever having learned the truth of the Bible; never heard the name Jesus Christ; never had the chance to believe in Him — are resurrected back to physical life.

So now, these physical human beings all the way back from the time of Adam are taught the truth of God they never learned and how to live by what God says.

And over a period of 100 years, they are judged.

Not sentenced.

They will be judged based on what they did with what they learnt.

They’re going to see all around them the benefits of God’s 1000-year rule in the Kingdom of God.

They’ll compare it to the former world of chaos and confusion they once lived in.

Now they must make their choice!

So God tells mankind, “You have been taught and you have learnt the way to life and the way to death. Please choose life!”

God will not force anyone to accept His truth.

Those who choose life will accept God’s way, submit to His laws and be ruled by His government.

Those who refuse will be mercifully destroyed in the lake of fire, which is the third resurrection.

God offers everyone a chance at eternal life because He loves everybody.

He is not a heartless, cruel and harsh tyrant.

He wants everyone to be in His family.

God is not in a battle with Satan the devil NOW!

He is not trying to save the world now.

For 6,000 years, God has allowed man to go his own way. The way that leads to death. To learn the lesson that only God’s way works.

That obedience to Him is the only way to real, lasting happiness.

Today is not THE only day of salvation.

Through seven annual festivals, God reveals His perfect, flawless plan of salvation for all mankind.

The seventh festival — the Bible calls “the last day, that great day of the feast” — pictures the completion of God’s astounding, perfect, grand master plan for the salvation of EVERYONE!

Everyone gets one chance, one opportunity to learn the truth.

What an awesome and supremely magnificent purpose our Great God is working out here below!
