I recovered from severe anxiety and panic attacks, and also the associated severe depression time of my existence thru the intervention of God and His graceful healing power. Amen to that for my troubles and storms were calmed into a peaceful, joyful and loving path with the help of a loving and kind Father God, with the Savior His Son Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Ghost.
And God had me ignore a selfish and self serving life which left me sinfully approaching hell and I was afraid of dying that way and being judged to a hell existence of Fire and Darkness. I'm not sure that hell and death was a correct assessment by me at all. Some church false authority had promoted and taught that illusion and lie. Which lie is: "We must be good to be saved in nature and action", and it may be taught in language that is different depending on the church someone is attending if they are their to be taught doctrine of God or Satan by man.
The scripture that applies to that is the following:
16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
And a person can logically conclude ideas from those verses if they are using all the faculties at their command, which is mental, emotional and spirit discernment (discernment can be given by God if a person humbly asks Him to provide it, and a person may not have that ability on their own)
The other related scriptures that apply to that are the following:
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Now if you read the scriptures I posted above you might have seen a conflict of ideas. Salvation from God following His commandments and also the other idea which is saved by Grace thru Faith. In the Jesus directed commandment area I quoted it further stipulates that Jesus directed the person to be perfect, which is to sell all and follow after him. That appears to be an important condition that should not be overlooked.
A short and important message from the bible about what that means and what God and the Apostles had directed at the end of the New Testament regarding living near perfect lives. And I will place that scripture quote now:
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
So what we should have understood from that scripture is that in order to be saved by obeying the commandments in that way, a person must live as described in the scripture I quoted. In verse 47 above it states: "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
