Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
The most important thing to believe in is what Jesus Christ did for you. Without the sacrifice Jesus made, we would have no opportunity to have a relationship with God both now and in the afterlife.
Salvation by faith on condition. What does the Bible say about salvation? Is it promised instantly, as many churches claim? Is it earned as a payment for "works" or service rendered, as taught by Judaism and Catholicism? Abundant bible references and plain logic provide an answer that falls somewhere between the two extremes.

A321 All things are possible to him who believes The faith of the world, the...franktsao4
When I see God saying: All things are possible to those who believe, I really cannot accept it. Because if you ask every Christian if they have faith, they will say yes, but can they do everything? If it were possible, nine out of ten things would be impossible, leaving only sighs. So why is it possible to do everything? In this article, we also explain the world’s belief, and the examples that are brought from the scriptures and then into the world, because only by staying in the Bible can we do everything, because we are not capable. , but the power of Jesus Christ within us, for He rules over all things and His decrees stand.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
