Do you know for sure that you are going to Heaven when you die physically?
If not, then you have not heard the true Gospel of salvation from the BIBLE.
God’s Salvation Equation:
FAITH is BELIEF that Jesus is the foretold Messiah, the Christ, The only begotten Son of God, who is God come as human through the Virgin birth. Not born in sin, and who lived a sinless life and died on the cross paying for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2) and who rose again. FAITH IN HIS FINISHED WORK.
WRONG:
– Good Works=Salvation
– Faith+Good Works=Salvation
– Salvation Is Conditional On How We Live After Belief On Christ
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES :
John 3:14-17, John 6:36-40, Ephesians 1:13-14, 1 Cor. 5:17-21, Colossians 2, Ephesians 2:8-9 , Acts13:38-39, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:4-5. Romans 5:15-19, Romans 6:23, Romans 8:2, Philippians 3:9, Matthew 7:22-23, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, 2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 4:3., Galatians 1:6-8, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:1-12, Galatians 5:4-5 etc.)
CORRECT:
– Faith+Nothing=Salvation+No Works Required To Remain Saved.
– Faith+GoodWorks=Salvation +Rewards For Good Works
(ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Ephesians 2: 10,
1 Corinthians 3:10-15, 1 Corinthians 9:24, etc.)
CONCLUSION:
Salvation is a GIFT OF GOD, not a REWARD EARNED by our good works. By belief on Christ’s finished work on the cross our old sinful Spirit of Adam, Spirit of man, DIED on the cross with Christ and God, BY IMPUTATION, recreated us in The Spirit to The Spirit of God and forgave any sin in our entire life (past/present/future), and God MADE US the righteousness of God, in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17-21, Colossians 2, Romans 6). It is ALL CHRIST’s WORK…NOT OURS.
After Salvation, that is FROM Salvation, good works flow outwardly FROM our new Spirit being UNTO good works (Romans 2:10), not to remain saved, but from our NEW BORN AGAIN ETERNALLY saved Spirit (John 3).
Without Christ abiding in us, our works will not matter for the Gospel.
Jesus said,
“3 Now YE ARE CLEAN through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU. As the branch CANNOT bear fruit of itself, except it abide in THE VINE; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.” (John 15: 3-5 KJV)
Do not take this as my opinion. Read the Scripture references.
