   We are all born in a fallen state, dead in our (via Adam) trespass.   
   The Lord has given us a picture of Himself as a fortress, and an   
   immovable rock.   
   (e.g.: "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;   
   my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the   
   horn of my salvation, and my high tower." [Ps 18:2]) But we are born   
   apart from the LORD, outside of the fortress. How do we get saved?   
   Simple: "Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole   
   duty of man."[Ec 12:13]   
      
   The only problem with this prescription for salvation is that it   
   is impossible for us to do this to the standard of perfection required   
   of God. It cannot reconcile the separation we suffer in our rebellious,   
   fallen condition.  Unless our righteousness exceeds that of the most devout   
   of His people we will in no wise enter into His Kingdom. No one, no not one of   
   us.  [Rm. 1,2,3:10, Ma 5:20, Ps 14:3]   
      
   But God commended His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners,   
   Christ died for us. God gave His only begotten Son as the substitutionary   
   death in our place, effectively opening the road into His Kingdom to the   
   likes of us--He earned it and shares it with us. What does He ask in return?   
   Only that we accept that we must throw ourselves entirely on His mercy...   
   then with the cleansing blood of Christ, God is faithful and Just to   
   forgive us our sins.  [c.f.: Rm 5:8,Jn 3:16, 1Jn 1:9]   
      
   How cool is that.  Those borders are eternal, and you enter into eternal life   
   the moment you believe that Jesus Christ the Son died for you,   
   and was resurrected by God, and now sits at the right hand of the Father.   
      
   And if you pray a sinners prayer and confess with your mouth that Jesus is   
   Lord,   
   and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,   
   the Holy Spirit of God will come upon you   
   to comfort you, teach you, and dwell in you, and never forsake you.   
   [c.f.: Romans 10:10, 1John 4:15,Ephesians 1:13]   
      
    "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.   
   In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel   
   of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with   
   that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until   
   the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."   
   [Ephesians 1:12-14]   
      
      
   --   
   .   
   "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."   
   2 Timothy 3:12
