They were transferred from darkness to light, from slavery to freedom, from guilt to forgiveness, and from the power of Satan to the power of God.

5. PEDRO
He was crucified upside down on a ❌-shaped cross.
According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy of dying in the same way that Yahushuah Hamashiah had died.
6. TIAGO
The leader of the church in Jerusalem was thrown more than a hundred feet down from the southeast spire of the temple when he refused to deny his faith in the Messiah. When they discovered he survived the fall, his enemies beat him to death with a club.
* This was the same pinnacle where Satan took Yahushuah during the temptation.
7. JAMES, son of Zebedee,
he was a fisherman by trade when Yahushuah called him to a life of ministry. As a strong church leader, James was beheaded in Jerusalem. The Roman officer guarding James watched in amazement as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked alongside Tiago to the execution site. Overcome with conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Son of the Most High.

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

THE BIBLE'S ANSWERS
You may claim that your god is wealth and money, and that your goal is to make the most of it, because it is the only thing that matters in life. Have you ever considered that of all possessions the most valuable is your own soul? The Bible states: “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or, what would a man give for the ransom of his soul?” (Mark 8:36-37).
You say that because you are young and because life is short you want to make the most of it and explore everything the world has to offer. You believe it will make you happy. However, true happiness can only be found in God. The Bible says: “Hold fast to him, and have peace, and good will come to you” (Job 22:21).
You claim that there is something good in all religions, so there is no reason to change yours. You think that, regardless of religion, everyone should do their best. Today's verse emphasizes that only the Lord Jesus can forgive your sins and give you eternal life. Where else can we find this truth?
You are horrified by all the illnesses and injustices in the world, perhaps you are affected by the loss of a loved one or tormented by some secret weakness. However, there is a remedy for all these things. The Lord Jesus tells him, “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Heed this call.
“For physical exercise has some use, but spiritual exercise has value for everything because its result is life, both now and in the future.” 1ST TIMOTHY 4:8 🙌🙏🔥📖
Invest in your eternity, prioritize what will NEVER pass!
Time here on earth is running out, which investor would risk investing in something that will not give him a return!?
Unfortunately, many people are doing this right now.
The word of God teaches us: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Matthew 24:35
