GOD’S PROVISION OF SALVATION
- “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
- “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). - Those who reject the gift of God will experience the second death which is
eternal separation from God. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the
book of Life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14–15). - “But God commended is love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). - “For he (God) hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (II Corinthians
5:21). God showed his love for us by giving his only begotten Son, Jesus, to
bear our sins and die in our place. - “For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of:
but the sorrow of the world worketh death” (II Corinthians 7:10).
Repentance to salvation means a change of mind in agreement with God
that we are sinners and in need of salvation. - “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.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10). - To be saved and receive eternal life with God in heaven, one must agree
with God that Jesus paid your penalty by dying on the cross and shedding
his blood for the remission of your sin, was buried, and rose again. - “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”
(Romans 10:13). - If you believe this and have not received Christ as your Savior, call upon the
Lord for his free gift of salvation.
