Salvation Fundamentals 1

1 Comment

What does it mean to be saved according to the Holy Scriptures?
Beginning with the Genesis story the scriptures teach that mankind is separated from the Creator and Author of life because of a violation against God’s command.

Genesis 2:17
but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die


This separation is also called spiritual death. 

Romans 5:17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ


John 3:16 
Amplified Bible (AMP) vs (KJV)  

 

16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 

πιστεύω  is the word translated “BELIEVES” which is the key to salvation  –  Pronounced:  pisteuō     –>. pist-yoo’-o

From Strongs G4102; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), that is, credit; by implication to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well being to Christ): – believe (-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with.

To verify with line upon line rightfully diving, compare to Jesus declaration with what his Apostle James wrote about BELIEVING FAITH after having sat for teaching at his Master’s feet several years.

Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.



Mark 16:16 
Amplified Bible (AMP)

16 He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [[a] from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned.

Mark 16:16 (KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

ὁ πιστεύσας καὶ βαπτισθεὶς σωθήσεται ὁ δὲ ἀπιστήσας κατακριθήσεται


 

Romans 10:9,10 (AMP)

9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) andconfirms [his] salvation

How will I know I am saved according to the Holy Scriptures?
Answer: You will know because He will enter you and produce a definite change in your life if you have sincerely called upon Him and His name.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)

17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Although the Christian life and walking with God is a lifelong commitment, the act of salvation is a “Birth”, a literal event that occurs to restore your spirit to it’s right and ability to connect with God the Father.  It is amazingly simple yet profound: 

Romans 10:6,7  (AMP)

6 But the righteousness based on faith [imputed by God and bringing right relationship with Him] says, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into Heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;
7 Or who will descend into the abyss? that is, to bring Christ up from the dead [as if we could be saved by our own efforts].

Romans 10:8-10 Bible (AMP)

8 But what does it say? The Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,

9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.

 



You can and should confess with your mouth that you totally commit your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
A man who was a convicted thief and being put to death with Jesus at the cross was amazingly able to transfer his destination from death & punishment to death and paradise by simply acknowledging Jesus was who he said he was and calling on Him to save his eternal soul.

Luke 23:42-43 (AMP)

42 Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come [a]in Your kingly glory!

43 And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise .


This man had no opportunity to live further since he was in the process of being put to physical death yet he understood in his heart that he could still escape spiritual death through the man Christ Jesus who was next to him!
Being with Christ at this time, this thief  had seen enough to know this was more than a man while another thief remained as spiritually blind as ever to his end.
In his heart one criminal recognized that Jesus would indeed come into the Kingdom He promised is prepared for those that trust in
