Salvation: What You Need to Know...

Biblical salvation can be a difficult thing to grasp but it can also be very simple. There is one verse in the bible that you need to understand before any of the others. That verse is found in the book of the Acts of the Apostles in chapter two and is verse thirty eight "Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." From <https://biblehub.com/acts/2-38.htm> If you realise that you have sin issue and repent in Jesus name making sure that you receive the sacrament of Baptism. You are saved once and for all.

 

As the apostle John puts it in chapter three verse sixteen “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." From <https://biblehub.com/john/3-16.htm> So, if you believe on the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ, you will not perish but have eternal life.

 

Now, there are a handful of other verses that can be helpful in gaining a understanding of the sin problem that we all have as members of humanity. For instance Romans chapter three verse ten "…as it is written: “THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, NOT EVEN ONE…"From <https://biblehub.com/romans/3-10.htm>  Romans chapter three verse twenty three

"…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…" From <https://biblehub.com/romans/3-23.htm> Romans chapter six verse twenty three "For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." From <https://biblehub.com/romans/6-23.htm>

So in short you are not the only sinner in this world in need of the Blood of the Lamb to justify you and cleanse you of sin. In fact every human being is a sinner and needs to access the redemptive work of Christ Jesus on the Cross. None but Christ is righteous and all are guilty and deserving of death except Christ. But God is  gracious and merciful and His freely given gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So what about it?
