SALVATION
Salvation is a Gift from God to the entire fallen human race. The only way man
can receive this Gift of
Salvation is by faith.1 Totally placing our faith in the Gospel
of Grace, which boils down to believing the work that Christ Jesus finished on
the Cross of Calvary for mankind.2 The
Gospel of Grace lets us know how much God loves us, and because of this amazing
love, He sent His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus to die in our place as a
ransom for many.3
There are
three phases to Salvation:
Ø
Past – Sanctification of the soul with
the remission of sin’s penalty, and the removal of sin’s guilt (Ephesians 2: 8;
II Timothy 1: 9; Titus 3: 5).
Ø
Present - We are being saved from the POWER of sin. The Greek participle in
I Corinthians 1: 18 is in the present tense, and denotes “those being saved,
the act of Salvation being in progress, not completed” (E. P. Gould). Believers
are being saved, through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit from sins power
(I Corinthians 1: 18; Philippians 2: 12; Romans 6: 14; Galatians 2: 19-20; II
Corinthians 3: 18), and
Ø
Future - We shall be saved from the PRESENCE of sin (Romans 5: 9-10, 8:
24, 13: 11; I Corinthians 5: 5; Ephesians 1: 13-14; I Thessalonians 5: 8;
Hebrews 10: 36; I Peter 1. 5; I John 3: 2).
All three phases are summed up in one
Scripture speaking of Christ, that says, [For it is He] Who rescued (past tense) and saved us from such a
perilous death, and He will still rescue and save us (present tense); in and on Him we have set our hope (our joyful and
confident expectation) that He will again deliver us (future tense) [from danger and destruction and draw us to Himself].
10 Salvation involves:
Ø
The
body
Ø
The
soul
Ø
The
present life of believers, as well as
Ø
The
future life of believers
Salvation
had many details that had to be worked out by Christ before it could be granted
to believers:
Ø
The
remission of sin’s penalty had to be dealt with
Ø
The
removal of its guilt had to be dealt with
Ø
The
conquering of the power of sin had to be dealt with, and
Ø
Its
final removal from the body has to be dealt with
Salvation in all three tenses and phases is of the Lord. He works in us
“both to will and to do His good pleasure.” The word Gospel means Good News and
before anyone can believe the Good
News, he or she has to know what the Good News is. Faith in the Good News or the Gospel
is necessary for Salvation. The believer must know:
Ø
Christ
Jesus was crucified for our sins according to the Scriptures
Ø
He
was buried, and
Ø
Raised
from the dead to life again on the third day just as he said he would be (I
Corinthians 15: 1-4)
It takes faith to be
saved from God’s wrath and faith begins to increase when we place our trust in
the Gospel by believing its
message. Scriptures explain that, God commended His love toward us, while we
were sinners; He allowed Christ Jesus, who was willing, to die in our place.4 Everyone believing the Gospel has been
forgiven of his or her sins:
Ø
Past
Ø
Present,
and
Ø
Future5
The catch to remaining sin free is daily
repentance and confession to God. Although we have been forgiven for future
sins that we may commit, we must not intentionally plan sin, but if and when it
happens; confess and repent of them daily as they are committed, to keep the
slate clean.6 Salvation is not a license for believer’s to sin at his or her
whim. Sin is sin to God regardless of who commits it, and un-confessed sin
rebuilds the chasm that once separated a man from God.
Receiving Christ, God’s Gift
to the world, delivers the believer from death and the Law. This Salvation we
have received keeps us saved as long as confession to God, not man, is a daily
part of life.7 Christ Jesus conquered
death rising victoriously over it from the grave. In rising from death, He
nailed the ordinances of the Law to His Cross.8
Believers are no longer under the Dispensation
of Law, not any part of it, we
are now under the New Testament
in His Blood, a privilege given to believers under Grace.9
This means we are saved from God’s wrath that
is soon to come upon the children of
disobedience, and much more.10 The
Blood of Christ Jesus has covered each of us making every believer the
righteousness of God by our faith in Christ Jesus. His righteousness is given
to everyone that believes in the work performed and finished at Calavary.11 All believers have been justified
without a cost.12 This means that every Born-Again believer stands before God; just as if we had never sinned.
Christ Jesus paid the full penalty for
our sins with His Blood, satisfying our sin deficit that was held by the Father. Because of His generous act
of love, we are justified freely through the process of redemption that can
only be found in faith in Christ Jesus13.
The process of man’s redemption happened in the mind and heart of God in Eternity past. Eternity past is when God set Christ
Jesus up to be the propitiation for all men through our faith in His shed
Blood.14
This was done in order for the
believing man or woman to be declared righteous in God’s sight. Christ’s Blood
paid our ransom price securing remission of sins. Because of sin’s recompense,
believers are clothed in the righteousness of Christ and when the Father looks
upon believing men and women, He sees Christ His perfect Son in us. When Christ
gave His life, He did not give
His life for a few of our sins; He gave His life for all of them.15 Man’s redemption was made possible
through the compassion of God so that Christ Jesus might be the justifier of
all believers.16
Our Gift from God is more than the Person of Christ Jesus;
His Gift to mankind is encompassed in all that was accomplished by Christ
Jesus. Christ Jesus’ dying on the Cross in our place as a perfect sacrifice for
the sins of the world, His resurrection from the dead was done for believers to
gain the life God wanted for
mankind from the beginning17. The
price that Christ paid allows all believers to be justified in God’s sight. He
now sees His beautiful creations as was originally intended. Our deeds and acts
of kindness should be genuine and done to the glory of God. We are nothing
without Him, and we must learn to continually make our boast in Christ Jesus.18
The little righteous deeds that we
perform here on earth are as filthy rags; it is all about Christ’s
righteousness towards us.19 Good
works has never been able to bring man Salvation; neither can money, or trying
to live a good life, that’s legalism. Men can only be saved and accepted by
God’s Grace, through faith in Christ Jesus.20
Grace is something that God has given to every man and woman even though we
don’t deserve it. He gives us His Grace, because He is a loving Father.21 God loves us so much; He made a way
for believers to escape His very own wrath.22
Once trust and confidence
is placed in Christ, the
believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The Holy
Spirit of promise is the down payment on our spiritual inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession is received in Glory; and believers are that purchased
possession paid for with Christ’s precious Blood.23 This deposit is God’s guarantee that He will redeem those of us, whom
our Lord, Christ Jesus purchased
with His own Blood.24
Studying the Bible is a vital part of Salvation. The Bible provides all the instructional tools
Christian’s will ever need to survive this life and arrive spotless into the
next. These tools are to be used immediately after being Born-Again to expedite
the growth process towards spiritual maturity and to help believers resist
Satan.25 Reading the Bible is the only way to
get to:
Ø
Know
our Creator
Ø Find out who we are in Christ
Ø Grow up spiritually, and
Ø Defend ourselves in spiritual battles
against Satan our enemy, and God’s
New converts must begin reading and studying the Epistles written by the Apostle Paul to eliminate confusion
and stumbling blocks along the way.26
Ministries today do not teach dispensational truths. If they did, the church
would not be filled with error and false doctrines. Ministries always direct babes in Christ to the first three
Gospels. This instruction serves only to keep babes confused. I would recommend
reading the Gospel of John first, because John speaks on the Deity of Christ Jesus. New converts
coming into the Body of Christ need to know who Christ Jesus is, and John does
an excellent job of providing that information.
Moving slowly through the Book of John, the reader next stop should be
the Book of Romans. The Apostle Paul is
the author of this book and the next twelve.
Paul was ordained by God to be the Apostle
to the Gentiles. It is the Apostle Paul who unveils the Grace
Age mysteries and he also informs believers of Truth in regards to the
Grace Age. Paul tells it like it is supposed to be for Gentiles under
the Grace Age Dispensation. He teaches believers that our old (un-renewed) self
was nailed to the Cross with Christ in order that [our] body [which is the
instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we
might no longer be the slaves of sin. Paul lets us know that when a man dies,
he is freed (loosed, delivered) from [the power of] sin [among men] and if we
have died with Christ, we shall also live with Him, because we know that Christ
was raised from the dead carrying the keys of death, hell, and the grave with
Him. Because Christ will never die, neither will believers, because death has
no power over Him.
The
death of Christ:
Ø
Ended
sin and His relation to it once for all; and
Ø
The
life that He lives, He is living to God in unbroken fellowship with Him27
Believers are the righteousness of Christ Jesus, and as believing Gentiles, we are to live to God in unbroken fellowship, this is the pattern for
believers. If Paul had not informed believers of these Grace Age truths’ we would have never
known them. The truth is, in order for new converts to have power to come out
fighting the devil, instead of beating the wind in defeat - believers must
begin to read the Scriptures to learn how to receive the power needed when
battling in spiritual warfare.
All
of the Apostle Paul’s writings are dynamic and power packed. New converts
should be taught to begin their studies:
Ø
The
Book of John, then go to
Ø
The
Books of Romans making their way through to
Ø
The
Book of Philemon
There is a reason why believers are to
start their studies in the writings of Paul. His writings are literally the
believers blue print to Eternal Life. His writings are the believer’s
instructions under the Grace Age Dispensation. They are necessary because Paul
was the man God chose to lead Gentiles into His Truth under Grace28. God elected
Paul, in the office of Apostle to the Gentiles; this means that his teachings alone are the ones authorized
by God for Gentiles spiritual learning under Grace.29 A Gentile is any person who was not born a Jew regardless of skin color. Salvation is a progressive work of
transformation; the old person dies to the flesh little by little each day, and
the new man emerges exhibiting the characteristics of Christ.30 It is God, the Holy Spirit who changes
the believer from being sinners into His very own children.31 He changes the believer from the
inside out, and what’s so amazing about this transformation is He does all the
work, as long as the desire for change is present in the heart.
Because Christ Jesus died in our
place, as our substitute, we are no longer alienated from God, in this world
without hope; we were reconciled to Him when we believed. Our Salvation process
was started when we first acknowledged that we were sinners needing a Savior.
The Father protects those of childlike faith. We will all face physical death
at some point, but Christ’s Blood gives us Eternal Life, and saves us from
spiritual death.32 Sin caused the hatred
that exists between God and sinful man. This hatred pasted from Adam to all of
mankind, and is dissolved when Christ Jesus comes into the heart of a believer.
When Christ Jesus came, He came proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, which
was a message of God’s ruling over those willing to be ruled by Him. He did not
come at that time to save and deliver Gentiles, neither did He send His
Disciples out to witness and convert Gentiles.33
Since Christ’s death, burial, and
resurrection, Salvation is extended to all of humanity. So, when the confession
of faith in Christ Jesus is made, it is usually made in sincerity. God made
each of us and what we must remember is that we can’t hide anything from Him.
He knows us through and through. He knows the end at the beginning.34 There is only one-way to enter God’s
Kingdom, and that is through the narrow
gate or the Door, and
Christ Jesus is the Door.
Man-made religions have convinced many people that there are alternate ways to God, without going through Christ
Jesus, but that is not the truth.
Seeing God without accepting His Son,
Christ Jesus is a spiritual crime against God. Getting to Heaven is
impossible without Christ and cannot be done. The highway to Hell is broad and wide for those who
purposely avoid going through Christ Jesus, and many will find it.
What awaits those seeking, misleading,
and trying to use these short cuts as a way to Heaven or eternal life, will find that the road they were on
will only lead them to eternal destruction because they chose not to accept
God’s Gift to the world as the means and prescribed Way of getting into
Heaven. The gate leading to Life
in Christ is narrow, and
only a few will ever find it.35 Christ
Jesus said if one tries to keep his or her life for them self, that person
would lose it because the love of the Father is not in him.36
Satan makes sin attractive and
convenient for men to fall. It is a trap that He sets by causing man to become
addicted to worldly possessions and satisfying their flesh.37 But there is an eternal alternative
already in place for that person who chooses to give up this life for the Life
Christ offers. This individual will find true
Life because he or she looked to the Cross.38 You may ask, how one benefits if he or
she gains the whole world, but lose his or her own soul in the process. I ask
you, is anything worth more than your soul? I think not.39
The
Apostle Paul understood the ins and outs of transformation of the mind having
to renew his mind from the teachings of Judaism. He grew up believing that
keeping the Jewish Law faithfully was the way to please God. Paul was diligent
in keeping the Law only to conclude on the Damascus road that it hadn’t made
him right in God's sight.40
Through the Apostle Paul’s writings, believers are taught the way to Eternal
Life. Repeatedly in his letters, Paul reminds us that Christ alone is the way
to Salvation, and that there is no other way. No one can ever be made right in
God’s sight by doing good deeds, or keeping the Law. The more we know about the
Law and trying to keep it, the clearer it becomes that we aren’t able to.41 Because of that, God has given us a
new and better way of being right in His sight. We are made right in God’s
sight when we trust Christ Jesus to take away our sins; the believer becomes
the righteousness of God through Christ.42
Believers are to let the world know
what the Bible says concerning all things, but most importantly, about
Salvation for a man’s soul. Satan does a great job keeping the minds of the
lost blinded and he distracts believers from allowing God to use and work
through us.43 Those believing to make
it into Heaven because of:
Ø
Living
a good life, or
Ø
Being
baptized, or
Ø
Speaking
in tongues, or
Ø
Going
to church regularly, are self-deceived
Doing these things do not assure
entrance therein. The amount of times one enters through a church door does not
mean that person is Born-Again and in
the family of God. This view is derived from having faith in your own
works.44 The Bible does not defend this view;
no amount of good works will ever get anyone into God’s Heaven. Salvation is achieved God’s way or no
way. No man can live up to God's standard of righteousness because there is
none righteous, no, not one.45 The
Bible tells us that human beings have all sinned and come short of God’s glory.46
There is a penalty for sin that must
be paid by every man who has not accepted Christ Jesus’ atonement for sin. This
payment will be collected someday because the wages of sin result in death; but
God’s Gift to those accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior, is Eternal Life.47 The Gospel message is the power of God
unto Salvation to everyone that believes.48
God saves men because of His love and mercy towards us. He washed away our sins
and gave us a brand new beginning through the power of the Holy Spirit. He generously
and continuously pours out the Holy Spirit upon believers to help us daily, in
our Christian walk. He knows it gets
hard sometimes. Believe it or not, we cannot do it alone regardless of how high
we may think ourselves to be, we can’t do it alone. Our dependence is totally
upon Christ Jesus and what He accomplished at Calvary on our behalf.49
His love for His people was
demonstrated in Truth; He came into the world, being God, and knowing the
condition of men’s heart He took on the form of a servant. The Greek word that
is used for servant here is duolos. This word is distinguished from another
Greek word for servant which is diakonos. This word Diakonos defines a servant
as one who willingly puts himself in the position to be a servant to others; and
the word that is used of the Lord in Philippians is also duolos, which means a
slave to the point where there is no praise or admiration (Philippians 2: 7).
Christ became as slave on our
behalf because humanity owed a debt to divine justice that a mere mortal could
not pay! The time is coming when God the Father will call for the
accountability of man. On this Day of Judgment, those who are found outside of the
will of God; will literally have Hell to pay.
Isaiah asks, “Who has believed what he
has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he
grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he
had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should
desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was
despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our grief and carried
our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But
he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon
him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are
healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we
have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity
of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its
shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he
was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off
out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And
they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although
he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the will of the Lord to
crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord
shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be
satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to
be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will
divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the
strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the
transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the
transgressors.”
Christ Jesus humbled himself as a
slave to the point of death on a cross, and from this great example, our
Apostle Paul, tells us, “if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort
from love, any participation in the spirit, any affection and sympathy,” and of
course based on what we read of what Christ had done for us there is eternal
encouragement, eternal comfort, amazing fellowship in the spirit, affections
which come from what Christ accomplished, make my day.”
We do this by being of the same love,
being in full unity, and of one mind. Paul has to encourage us because by
nature we were all wicked, selfish, self-seeking, corrupted, deceitful, and
could not be trusted. Our Salvation is the result of coming to terms with this.
If it were not so, Christ would not have had to experience the horror of
absorbing the wrath of God upon the Cross in our stead. Christian should rest
in the things of Christ and stop trying to acquire worldly riches; it’s all a
waste of precious time. We settle and compromise as believers because we want
to be man-pleasers, we want to be liked and accepted by man who is unimportant.
Isaiah said, Christ Jesus
grew up before Father God like a
young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that
we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised
and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces. He was despised, and we esteemed him
not.”
The truth is we are not esteeming
Christ as believers today; the church of man is filled to the rim with
hypocrites and spiritual zombies who are just going along for the ride. Christ
said that our love for one another would reveal His true disciples. He
commanded that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul,
with all our mind, and with all our strength, and that we love our neighbor as
our self. People just don’t get it, the love we have for Christ is revealed in
the love we show to each other! The church of man has missed the mark.
The church of man is staggering like
drunkards on the wine of Satan’s wrath, stumbling in spiritual darkness, tossed
to and fro by every wind of demonic doctrine. Our Apostle teaches that we are
to do NOTHING out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility, counting others more
significant than our selves. This is truth and it goes against the grain of the
masses in Christendom. Counting others as more significant than our selves is
not difficult for the man or woman who is hid in Christ. Total reliance upon
Christ is the answer!
Christ Jesus is the one who does the
willing and the doing and all we need to do is thank Him for His immeasurable
grace! If man were measured apart from God’s Grace that saved us, we would all
be immediately cast into the depths of Hell because as humans we don’t measure
up to God’s righteous standards. Men and women will always let each other down
having failed expectations, and like the Lord Christ Jesus, we must learn to
despised the shame and open not our mouth, but accomplish the mission that is
set before us. We must endure the cross set before us.
Scriptures says that faith, hope, and
love, remain, but the greatest of these is love and those claiming Christ Jesus
as their Lord better start demonstrating it. When God examines our view of love
towards others, it will be to our shame because humans practice humanistic
love, which is a love that fades and ultimately fails. Paul defined the love of
Christ when he said, “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have
not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic
powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all
faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give
away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I
gain nothing.
So from Scripture, we know that faith,
hope, and love abide, and the greatest of these is love. Believers are called
to freedom in Christ and are not to use our freedom as an opportunity for the
flesh, but love others, through the love of Christ (Galatians 5: 13). Satan is
working expeditiously through the church of man causing the love of
Christ
not to be seen. He is busy adulterating Christ Church, and destroying the
reputation of His Church as the house of prayer. Members of the Body of Christ
who are on the outside looking into the church of man, is despised by those in
the church of man because we oppose their truth. True Born-Again believers
oppose their truth because they are not teaching God’s Truth at all. All of the works of the flesh are evident in
the church of man: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery,
enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. We have been warned, that
those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5:
18-26).
The church of man is so far removed
from doing the Word of God; for instance Scripture says, “Brothers, if anyone
is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a
spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one
another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is
something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his
own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his
neighbor. For each will have to bear his or her load.
The one who is taught the Word must
share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not
mocked, for whatever one sow, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to
his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the
Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of
doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we
have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are
of the household of faith” (Galatians 6: 1-10).
As Born-Again believers we are to live
and walk by the Spirit. Not being conceited, provoking one another, or envying
one another. We are to have the mind of Christ Jesus. The way to greatness in
the Kingdom of God’s dear Son is down the road of servant hood where God
receives all the glory. There is no praise or glory in servant hood from man
when we understand that our treasures are not of this world. Our Lord is
sovereign; therefore, true believers are motivated by holiness.
Jesus did not come to be served but
to serve and in doing so, He gave His life as a ransom for many. Our mission is
to press on doing the same! “For the word of God is living and active, sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of
joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart,
and no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the
eyes of him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4: 12).
Salvation is the Divine Providence of God that reveals His activity in the life of
His children. A distinction is sometimes made which says:
Ø General providence refers to God
continuously upholding the existence and natural order of the Universe, and
Ø Special providence is God's
extraordinary intervention in the life of people saving them
Ø From physical death by providing
Eternal Life, and
Ø From spiritual death, by providing divine law, and
judgment
Thomas Aquinas was an Italian priest of the Catholic
Church in the Dominican Order's. In his Treatise
on Law, he said that Divine Law as opposed to Natural Law, and comes
only from revelation or Scripture, and is necessary for human Salvation.
Regardless to what man say’s the Bible is the final authority and it says that
there is only one way to Heaven. Christ Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father but by me" (John 14:
6 - NKJV).
You will
see when reading the next section that good works cannot save anyone. "For
by Grace we are saved through faith; and that not of ourselves: it is the gift
of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2: 8-9 - NKJV). If you are not one hundred percent
certain that you belong to Christ Jesus, please trust Him today by first admitting
you are a sinner. Scripture says "For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3: 23 - NKJV).
Scripture
also let us know how we became sinners - "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"
(Romans 5: 12 - NKJV). You must
know that "If we say that
we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us" (I John 1: 10 - NKJV). Nothing we
can do on earth will count for good if we are not willing to turn from
our sin by repenting to God.
Jesus said, "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish" (Luke 13: 5 -
NKJV). "And the times of
this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to
repent" (Acts 17: 30 -
NKJV). Salvation is by faith and although we were not there, we must believe
by faith that Christ Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead to prove
His love for you and me."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" (John 3: 16 - NKJV). The price for
Everlasting Life has been paid. Because
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us" and "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Christ
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved (Romans 5:
8, 10: 9-10 - NKJV).
Salvation
is so very simple, all it takes is for a believer to do the Word, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10: 10 - NKJV). You must know and let others know that "For whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved" in spite of our sin crimes, we all have
been saved, we simply have to invite Him into our life (Romans 10: 13 - NKJV).
