Class 84 of "The Ramp" to the Highway of Success Course for Young Women

Published: May 15, 2021, 1:40 a.m.

Welcome to Class 84 of "The Ramp" to the Highway of Success course for young women. I am Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society, working in partnership with the Martin Luther King Senior Institute for Young Men & Young Women. The Institute aims to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Sr., commonly referred to as "Daddy King", whom God used to raise the great leader, Martin Luther King Jr. Our purpose is to guide young men and young women, and help them get on the path to becoming kings and queens for the glory of God.

Today, we will begin our study, “IF YOU DESIRE TO GET MARRIED, HERE IS HOW TO GET A GOOD MAN” (Letter Twenty-Seven).

In the next class, we will begin our study, “THE CASE FOR NEVER GETTING MARRIED.”

Now, like many of you, I grew up in a very religious and church-going family, and during that time, I often heard the phrase "Being Saved." Now, much of what church people said "being saved" was back then especially, in my community, is wrong according to the Bible. I wrote an article about it titled "On ‘Being Saved' in Black America" which is available for you to read free of charge on our website, gospellightsociety.com. Right now, I want to share with you very briefly what the Bible says "being saved" really is.

First, understand that you need to be saved because you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Second, understand that a horrible punishment -- eternal Hell -- awaits those who are not saved. In Matthew 25:41, Jesus Christ said that God will say to those who are not saved, "depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

Third, realize that God loves you very much and wants to save you from Hell. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." If you want to be saved from Hell and be guaranteed a home in Heaven, simply believe in Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose from the dead for your sins, and then call upon Him in prayer and ask Him to save your soul. And believe me, He will.

Romans 10:9-13 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." That is the most important decision you will ever make.

God bless you and keep you until we meet for our next class.
