The Gospel & Salvation

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

not of works, that no one would boast.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,

that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see the Kingdom of God.”

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

“Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. Hownarrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”

“Come, and let us return to Yahweh; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.

I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’ “He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
