Salvation has always been by grace through faith!
From Genesis to Revelation..... From the creation of Adam, till the very last baby conceived.... Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!
It's not salvation plus works, nor is it salvation plus keeping the Ten Commandments, or any of the law....or any ordinances of any church!
It's not sealed by an obedience such as baptism, nor is salvation in any way a part of any good work, that we can do!
There is nothing a sinner can do, that will add to, or take away from, God's salvation!
Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it clear, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Even all the way back to the very first Jew....as we read how Abraham was saved in Genesis 15:6, "And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness."
Abraham wasn't saved by following God!
Abraham was saved by believing God!
Romans 4:2, "For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath wherefore to glory; but not before God."
The verse in the old hymn "Rock Of Ages" says it well,
🎵"Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die."🎶
I believe that every child of God, SHOULD totally sell out to God!
I believe every child of God, SHOULD follow the Lord, in being obedient to him!
I believe every child of God SHOULD have a testimony that brings honor to Christ!
But selling out, being religiously obedient, or even having the appearance of a "Christian", is not salvation!
Our salvation is in Christ, and not in our efforts to reform!
Don't allow religion to confuse discipleship with salvation!
The Bible DOES NOT TEACH what is known as "Lordship salvation" in order to be saved!
I didn't make Jesus Christ the "Lord of my life" in order to be saved!
I got saved by God's amazing grace, through faith.....and after I was saved, I then desired to have a desire to make him, THE LORD OF MY LIFE!
Acts 16:31 says, " ...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,..."
Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
John 3:16 says, "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."
If you're lost without Christ....then simply come to Jesus, as the lost hell deserving sinner you are....
Come to him through faith.... just like Abraham did, and believe God's promise that, HE will save you!
Believe that Jesus Christ shed his precious blood and died for YOUR sins on the Cross of Calvary.
Believe that on that third day after his crucifixion, he rose up from the dead!
Victorious over sin, death, hell, and the grave!
Jesus has already paid the price for YOUR sins.....and, HE WILL SAVE YOU!
He will save YOU the very moment you come to him, and receive him through faith, as your personal Saviour!
Come to Jesus today, and be saved!
God bless y'all
