Salvation

The scripture John 3:16 is the corner stone of the Christian Faith. It clearly articulates how God sent His son Jesus to this earth to die for All of our sins. Whoever chooses to believe in the Son Jesus Christ will not die, but instead have everlasting life in heaven!

 

  • John 3:16 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.

 

 

We all took on a sin nature from the beginning of creation because of the sin of Adam & Eve in the garden of eden.

 

  • Romans 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

 

 

To be Saved, you first Admit that you are a sinner.

 

  • Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

  • Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

 

Once we confess that we are sinners we need to ask God for His forgiveness and believe in our heart that Jesus is Lord and that Jesus was resurrected on the third day.

 

  • Romans 10:9 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.

 

  • Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 

 

  • 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

 

The way we get Faith enough to Believe these things is learning and hearing the Word of God!

 

  • Romans 10:13-17 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

 

Since The Lord God has now forgiven us for our sins we are to be Baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost washing away those sins.

 

  • Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 

 

  • Acts 16: 31-33 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 

 

  • Act 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

 

Now that we have been Saved we are to turn from our OLD sinful ways and begin Walking As Christ.

 

  • 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

 

  • Romans 8:28,29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

 

  • 1 Peter 2:21-25 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
 

 

The only way to truly know God & understand His ways to live them out as He would have us to, is reading His word continually.

 

  • Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 

  • Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

 

  • John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

 

  • John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 

  • 2 Timothy 3:16,17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
