I ask that we confine this thread to that glorious truth only. (No talk of OSAS or OSNAS.) This is to honor Jesus Christ and not compare/dispute doctrines. Scriptures and testimonies about salvation are welcomed and appreciated. GBU. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hebrews 4:14) "God presented Him as an atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand." (Romans 3:25) "And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:4) "Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us." (Romans 8:34) Hallelujah!! Anybody got any scriptures that go along with these? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephesians 2 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. @nzkev Excellent verses! I love it! Thanks. And then it goes straight into the three scriptures that were my first ever 'life verses' that I memorized years back. (Ephesians 2:8-10) "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. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." This explains that the gospel (good news) is that Jesus paid it all... Why? Because I couldn't (and NONE of us could.) The great news is that salvation is a gift...which means it is impossible to earn. Any 'works' (fruit) that result in a Christian's life come after they are born again. And they are not contrived or forced by our efforts. Instead, they flow freely as a result of the love in our hearts for our wonderful Savior. It comes naturally to want to please Him. After all, look what He did for us on Calvary. The works themselves must be attributed to the Lord and go to His credit (not ours.) Philippians 2:13 says, "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." So ALL the glory goes to Christ alone. Both for salvation and the sanctification that follows... Phil 4:13 says, "I can do all things THROUGH Christ who strengthens me." So again, the praise goes to Him alone! I don't even see at as 'work' to serve God. It is pleasure. Reading the Bible daily doesn't do anything for God. Instead, it is there for our own benefit because it is our spiritual food (we enjoy it! )and it strengthens (nourishes) us. It also guides us. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (psalm 119:105) "Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16) Righteousness (salvation) is transferred to us through Jesus Christ's perfection and perfect sacrifice. The Lamb of God without spot or blemish. Hallelujah! "Knowing you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot." (1 Peter 1:18-19) His righteousness transferred (imputed) to us!! A sacred trade-off that is wonderfully mind boggling. Thank You, Jesus!! I'm forever grateful that Jesus Saves! 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
