Romans 3:23-26
[23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
[25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
[26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
-------------------------------------------------
We are all sinners and fall short in the glory of God. None of us are righteous in His eyes. Nothing can save us from hell but by the precious blood of Jesus Christ that He shed on the cross at Calvary.
-------------------------------------------------
Colossians 1:14
[14] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
-------------------------------------------------
His free gift of salvation is His Blood. In His Blood we found the atonement for our sins. Not only remission but redemption!
-------------------------------------------------
Hebrews 9:22
[22] And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
-------------------------------------------------
He is the only sacrifice that is perfect. His blood is so pure. He never sinned. He is the only innocent one that ever walked on earth. The innocent that dies for the sinners. His blood is perfect. And it paid the debt for all of our sins. How magnificent!!! It's the Blood of God.
-------------------------------------------------
So, He shed His blood, because He loves us that much. We all will die as a sinner and pay for our sins for eternity in hell, if we don't receive His Blood Atonement by faith. If we don't believe on His Finished work on the cross at Calvary.
-------------------------------------------------
Acts 16:29-31
[29] Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
[30] And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
[31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
-------------------------------------------------
John 3:16-17
[16] 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.
[17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
-------------------------------------------------
John 3:36
[36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
-------------------------------------------------
John 3:18
[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
-------------------------------------------------
Ephesians 2:8-10
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
-------------------------------------------------
Galatians 2:20-21
[20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
[21] I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
-------------------------------------------------
Romans 5:18-19
[18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
[19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
-------------------------------------------------
Romans 5:1-2
[1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[2] By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
-------------------------------------------------
Believe The Gospel from the heart (soul/being). Receive His free gift of salvation (His Blood Atonement) by faith. Be born again in Jesus Christ. Rest and trust in His finished work on the cross at Calvary.
-------------------------------------------------
Romans 2:16
[16] In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
-------------------------------------------------
It is all about what He did for us. Not about what we did. Justified by faith. Not by works. Not by faith and works. Not by doing works to keep us saved.
-------------------------------------------------
Romans 11:6
[6] And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
-------------------------------------------------
Once you are born again. You are saved and sealed by The Holy Spirit of promise and nothing can separate us from God. You are now Holy and blameless because Jesus Christ taking up your place as a substitute, and your iniquities, all washed away by His Blood, and now God will sees you as He sees Jesus Christ who is Holy and blameless. The Lamb of God without blemish who took away the sins of the world!
-------------------------------------------------
1 John 5:13
[13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
-------------------------------------------------
Ephesians 1:12-14
[12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
[13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
[14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
-------------------------------------------------
Romans 8:38-39
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-------------------------------------------------
Eternal security. Saved and sealed. Once saved, always saved.
Hopefully this will edify and if you are not born again, be born again in Jesus Christ.
May God's grace be with you.
Amen.
