Win What Must I Do To Be Saved? Constructed By Marcus Grodi Disseminated As Paper Copy

must I do to be saved" A question that can create a boatload of conflicting opinion among Christians of different types is answered simply and clearly in this little book.
Loaded with Scripture, Marcus Grodi shows what was required from us by God in the Old Testament and how it continued into the New, Actually, the basic types of requirements have not changed at all, God wants outward actions and inward attitudes in both the Old and New Covenants, Even the answer to sin is much the same and yet utterly different,
If you thought that simply believing in Jesus is enough, well, on one hand you're right, But what does 'belief' mean What does the Bible SAY
Go ahead and get one of those thick tomes that maybeof the population can understand.
Or read this book and see if it doesn't make the answer to the question a whole lot clearer, A growing majority of Christians today believe that all that is necessary for salvation is an individual's faith in Jesus, Mega churches everywhere proclaim this Jesus and Me theology, built around a simple application of John:, belittling the need for membership in any religious community, the practice of any rituals, the reception of any sacraments, the submission to any leaders, or the adherence to any set of doctrines.
Salvation is merely by faith alone in Jesus alone by grace alone, But is this biblically, theologically, and historically sound This book argues, from the perspective of a biblical hermeneutic or interpretation of continuity, that salvation has always involved more than this simplistic expression of modern individualism.
Why You Must Join the Catholic Church

There is no believe in Jesus Christ alone, You must repent, be baptised, learn what the Catholic Church teaches, accept Communion, Confirmation, Reconciliation, stop sinning, go to Mass, receive Christ in Communion, John:or the Roman Road do not lead you to Christ, I have heard Markus speak and he spoke from the heart, When I read this book I felt he also writes from the heart, As a convert from the Protestant faith to the Catholic faith I knew about the Roman Road and the " just me and Jesus" view, I did not know or understand the Old Testament plan of salvation, This book explains it in easy to understand terms and makes the connection to the Catholic plan of salvation or should I say the Biblical plan Good book! It makes me want to read more of his work.
What must I do to be saved This is the most important question anyone can ask: What must I do to save my soul

Depending which Christian group you ask today, you'll get plenty of conflicting answers.
Many sincere Protestants will say "all you need is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, " Others say "the only requirement is a heartfelt prayer, " Still others maintain that you must pray a sinner's prayer, But which one is right And what about the sacraments, like baptism What about the Church Are they necessary for salvation, too Must we be part of a faith community, with rituals, sacraments, doctrines, and a system of church government Or, is one's own individual, personal faith enough When an Evangelically minded Presbyterian minister examined Sacred Scripture for the answer to this question, he was surprised to find that his study of the Bible led him to the Catholic Church!

Catholicconvert and EWTN host Marcus Grodi provides a clear answer to each of those questions.
He begins by examining many popular approaches, including the fundamentalist "Me and Jesus alone" style and the popular "Roman Road" presentation, Grodi points out that each of these approaches is partially true, but nevertheless still flawed,

He walks readers through the Old Testament, the New Testament, and many writings from the Church Fathers to paint a fuller, more accurate picture of salvation, one that includes prayer, conversion, the Church, the sacraments, and the Communion of Saints as vital parts of a whole.
As I read this book, I realized that I had always had little mental gaps in my knowledge concerning the connection and relationship between the Old and New Testaments.
We need the proper scriptural and historical context so that we can embrace a Christianity that truly is the fulfillment of God's revelation in Jesus Christ.
This is a perfect book to help you understand what it means to be a part of the Body of Christ,

This book was written specifically for nonCatholics, which makes it a great book to share with anyone asking you this most important question.
The author explains how he operated as a protestant trying to convince Catholics they were wrong, Then he shows why HIS arguments were wrong and shows the Catholic point of view is correct, This is a great outline of why the Catholic Church is truly Biblically based and in line with tradition, If you are looking for an accurate understanding of the Bible and the Church, this is it,
"What must I do to be saved" This question from the rich young man in Luke's Gospel still tugs at man's heart today, I certainly felt this struggle in my spiritual journey in my earlys, and I wish that a book of this nature had been written when I was going through my spiritual turmoil.
What must I do to be Saved is written by Marcus Grodi, a convert who hosts the television show The Journey Home on EWTN, He also founded The Coming Home Network for people who have converted or are interested in converting to the Catholic Church,

The book starts off explaining the Protestant path of salvation, which varies from pastor to pastor, Most methods consist of some form of the Romans Road scripture passages in the Letter to the Romans that help you realize you're a

sinner in need of being saved, which leads to a sinner's prayer and has led to the whole "Jesus and me" attitude.
Mr. Grodi then goes on to explain why this method is insufficient and how one can still feel like they aren't saved because they didn't experience that emotional feeling.
I remember the Romans Road well, and definitely prayed the sinners prayer what seemed like hundreds of times,

Mr. Grodi then uses the rest of the book to walk the reader through an Old Testament path of salvation and a New Testament path, With his clear flow charts, one can see the striking similarities between the two and see how the Old Covenant was replaced by the New Covenant, complete with grace, sacraments, and the Church.
I definitely feel like I could have used this explanation when I was going through a searching phase, from my Southern Baptist background to my eventual conversion to Catholicism.


I have one grief with this book, and it occurred in a paragraph in the Conclusion, When asked about how he views the Eastern Orthodox Church, Mr, Grodi said, "A quick glance into any phone book reveals the absence of unity, . . The Orthodox churches are divided churches not one united Family of God, " I assume he is referring to the fact that there are Greek, Russian, Antiochian, etc, Just because they say their Liturgy in a different language, does not mean they aren't united in their beliefs, These are our Eastern brothers, and Jesus wanted us to be one,

For the reason above, I am taking awaystar from my rating of this and only givingout ofstars, Blessed John Paul II worked toward ecumenism, as did Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, I'd even wager Pope Francis will as well, The above section should be omitted if this book is ever edited and a revised edition is released, Other than that, it was a welllaid out book that would benefit someone at any stage in their journey from Protestantism to Catholicism, Many questions answered.

I'm a Catholic revert, and I dragged my poor husband along, I read constantly about my faith, so my husband is always asking me "Why this," and "Why that" Fortunately I can rely on Marcus Grodi for answers for the both of us! Marcus Grodi b.
