Salvation
The Lord is so good because of His mercy and grace that He shows towards us. We are thankful that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for all of our sins. We believe that God raised Jesus from the dead on the 3rd day. We believe in the work of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. By the grace of God through faith, we are born again and will have eternal life in Heaven.
*This is what is needed for salvation and eternal life.
• A person must repent for their sins. (Matthew 4:17, Luke 5:32, Luke 13:1-5, Acts 2:38, Acts 26:20)
•A person must believe and confess Jesus, the Son of God, as their Lord and Savior. They must believe in the work on the cross, His death, burial, and resurrection. (John 8:24 / Romans 10:9-19 / 1 Corinthians 15/ Matthew 10:32-33)
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15 KJV
•A person must love the Lord God with all of their heart, soul, & mind. (Matthew 22:36-37) God wants our hearts pure before Him. It’s about the heart, (motives, intentions) which is why we do works.
Paul writes this in 1 Corinthians 16:22,
22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord.
Jesus says this in John 14:23-24
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
•A person must be led by the Holy Spirit in obeying the commands of Jesus. (Romans 8:14 / John 14:15-24)
•A person must be faithful until death. (Matthew 24:13 /Revelation 2:10)
This FREE gift of salvation is for anyone who believes. Repentance is important because God cannot dwell in an unrepentant heart.
⇒5 But by your callous stubbornness and impenitence of heart you are storing up wrath and indignation for yourself on the day of wrath and indignation, when God’s righteous judgment (just doom) will be revealed.
