Lesson 298

(Lesson 298)(06-06-12) John 8:21-24, "Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

This, again, is a very short lesson with a very, very important content. Notice that Jesus said, "for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." This does NOT say if you are baptized not you will die in your sins, or that if you don't live a perfect life you will die in you sins.
It is very clearly stated here that simply BELIEVING (faith) is what prevents us from dying in our sins, nothing else is required.~~
