WHY SALVATION

WHY SALVATION


God created everything, including man. God is ALL-loving, ALL-merciful, ALL-righteous, ALL-knowing, and ALL-powerful as well as being the source of ALL light. God has no part and will not tolerate anything that is not righteous. Righteous means just or lawful, so that means that anything that is not just or lawful will not be, nor can it be tolerated by God. God created beings called angels before He created man. Angels were given the ability of free choice, to which man was given as well, the greatest of these angels Lucifer, Satan, was second to only God in power and dominion. Lucifer wanted more than that, he chose to rebel against God in trying to be as God is. God being the only one, who is ALL-powerful, could not be defeated. Satan after being unable to win over God, tried to win over mankind, and to separate man from God, beginning with Eve in the Garden of Eden. Man as well as angels, have the ability of free will, the ability of choice. To have choice you must have more than one option to choose from. God allowed Satan some freedom after his rebellion to allow man the choice of either following God or following Satan, there is no other option, for Satan has claimed all that is not of God, which is sin. Now back to God being ALL: loving, merciful, and righteous, it would be wrong to force anyone to live forever in His presence who does not want to, so here we are with the choice to live forever with God, or we can CHOOSE not to live forever with God. We can choose whichever one we want but, if you remember God is ALL-loving, ALL-merciful, ALL-righteous, ALL-knowing, and ALL-powerful as well as being the source of ALL light, if we choose not to live with God, what do you have left? You have no love, no mercy, no justice or law, and no light, the very definition of Hell. People do not want to think about Hell, or that an ALL loving God would make or put people into such a place, but remember you get to choose whether you go there or not. Satan would want us to believe that God puts us in Hell, so we would not believe in Him, for how can a ALL-loving God place us in an eternity of torment, but God loves us so much that He allows us the option, the choice, to live or not to live with Him. God being loving and merciful has made it easy for us to be with Him, because He loves us so much and He wants all to live with Him. All you need to do is believe in God, God the Father, Jesus the Son of God, and the Holy Ghost, and want to live forever with Him. Salvation, do you want it or need it? You get to choose whether to live in the light with a loving God forever, or to live in the darkness without love, mercy or anything just or lawful, for just as long...........Eternity!!

Road Map to Salvation


Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
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:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
I Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain . 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:


1) Know that everyone is a sinner Romans 3:10 and 3:23
2) The cost of sin Romans 5:12 and 6:23
3) Jesus Christ paid the price for OUR sins Romans 5:8
4) Believe and Accept that Jesus Christ Died for you and arose from the dead, all can be saved I Corinthians 15:1-4


The Free Gift of Salvation means: 1) To know and believe that you are a sinner 2) Jesus Christ Died for Your Sins 3) Jesus Christ Arose up three days later { His proof that He is God } 4) Letting God pay for Your sins and choosing to not pay them yourself, { With Sincerity on these beliefs, do not just speak it without Believing it }

II Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Revelation 20:14-15 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The Sin Debt Must be paid by someone, either you can pay it ( In Hell Forever ) or you can allow God to pay it for you. Jesus Christ Wants you Saved So Much He died for you, He already submitted the payment, all you need to do is accept it and Live for Eternity in Heaven with Him.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our sin nature at birth has already separated us from God, but God loves us so much, that He died for us and paid the Sin Debt for us, when God ( Jesus Christ ) Died on the Cross at Calvary. Jesus Christ became the Sin of the World, to bring us back to Him.

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



To Summary


Forever Saved




II Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

There are three main ingredients to gaining a greater understanding of God's word. One is Dispensation. Though God does not change,
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
God does change how He deals with man at different times throughout the Bible.
I Corinthians 12:5,6 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

Without understanding this people, believers and non-believers alike, get confused and take certain scriptures out of context. Remember you need to think of whom the scripture is intended for, and who wrote it. The majority of the bible is written for the Jew, the nation of Israel. There are certain things that were given to them, promises, consequences, and rules such as the law, that we during this Age ( Dispensation of The Grace of God ) are not under. Today, Salvation once accepted, is sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

So Once you accept the Free Gift of Salvation that Jesus Christ has offered to everyone, that is to believe that you are a sinner, and that you are unable to, in any way save yourself from eternal separation from God on your own, you believe Jesus Christ is God and Jesus Christ died for your sins and arose three days later, you are saved and eternally secure in Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures

I Timothy 2:3,4 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
