1. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO RECEIVE SALVATION
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)."All [of us] like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6a). "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a). "Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God'" (John 3:3). "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). 2. YOU CANNOT BE SAVED BY YOUR OWN EFFORTS
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12)."...a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ" (Galatians 2:16). "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). "Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). 3. GOD HAS MADE PROVISION FOR YOUR SALVATION
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have ever-lasting life" (John 3:16)."For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us" 1 Thessalonians 5:9,10a). "The LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6b). "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18a). "...the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23b). 4. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CAN SAVE AND PROTECT YOU
"Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25)."Now to Him Who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To God our Saviour, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen" (Jude 1:24-25). "For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18). "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). THEREFORE EVERY PERSON SHOULD... 1. REPENT...
"Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now com-mands all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30).2. BELIEVE...
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:31).3. CONFESS YOUR SINS TO GOD...
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).4. CONFESS JESUS CHRIST TO ALL PEOPLE...
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10). |
