Salvation question


Posted: Mar 30, 2012

My brother has terminal cancer and is only 39 years old.  I am a Baptist and believe Jesus died for us and salvation is the way to eternal life.  I desperately want my brother to be saved and baptized before cancer takes his life.  He is very angry now and not even sure if he believes in God anymore.  How can I get him saved and truly believe Jesus is our savior?

You can't save your brother, only Jesus can...sm - believingMT

Salvation only comes through Jesus Christ and only He can give that. I would pray fervently for him (I'm sure you are) and live by example so he can see Christ in you. I'm sure your brother will see God's love in you because it is a very different and foreign kind of the love that the world recognizes as being very different. He's probably very scared about his diagnosis. Just keep praying and there's no one that God can't save and no heart that He can't soften to accept His salvation. Also, pray how God would use you in this situation...what to say, what not to say, etc. Let God lead and just listen how you can be a part of His plan for your brother. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. It's tough seeing those we love suffer and then without Christ is even worse.

Agree with prayer and good example - sm

Pray and live as a good example.

Your worries come from your own judgement of your brother. You do not see what you think indicates being saved. It doesn't matter what YOU see! What matters is what God sees in your brother's heart.

Pray and live your faith without preaching and haranguing. Have faith that God will speak to your brother's heart and that His words will be irresistable.

Start praying for him and ask God to save him - that is the best thing you

can do and hopefully even if it's on his death bed, he will give his life to God and go to heaven.

There is a great book... - sm

called "Heaven Is For Real" It's about a young boy who died and went to heaven. Many people have a hard time reading the Bible or have been put off by churches and "church people" that they lose their way. A book like this can bring them back. A child's way of explaining what heaven is like makes it really seem real. Not that the Bible doesn't, but you know what I mean.

Also, there is a book called "23 Minutes In Hell" At least I think that is the name. It's an acct of a man who believes he went to hell and came back to tell about it and warn people. You can look these up online.

These are just suggestions that might help him to realize that there is an afterlife. I hope this helps. I'm sorry he is terminal.

Prayer For SalvationSep 15, 2015
Please pray that my dad would accept the Lord as his savior before he passes away. He is 87 years old and I'm not sure if he is saved or not. He is very private about most things and I know it is terrible but I am so nervous to even bring it up to him. I left a tract in his mailbox in the hopes that he would read it but not sure if he did. I know I need to bring it up but we grew up sort of not discussing deep issues so it is hard. ...

QuestionMar 22, 2010
Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here.  While watching news today this just crossed my mind.  If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills).  As ICs I'm sure ...

I saw that E-Bay has a really nice selection, and you can just do a Buy Now for way under market price--I'm not into the bidding thing, BTW. Thing is, how do I REALLY know it's Swarovski? Some of their jewelry is signed, and some of those posts say so, but not all their jewelry is signed ...
