The Truth About Faith The Gospel Of Salvation

---

Matthew 3:13-17 NASB

13 Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15 But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him. 16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”

Acts 2:38

38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

God our Father, His Son our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have revealed to us the words of salvation (Romans 1:16) that will help lead you home to the new heavens and new earth (2 Peter 3:10-13) to live with them (Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22-24, Hebrews 4:1-9, Hebrews 12:2-24, Revelation 21:1-12), in all eternity in peace, love, and joy. 

This one simple act to hear and or read with your heart the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and believe and trust you will receive the gift of faith that comes from God our Father (Romans 10:17 NASB). 

Being baptized for the remission of your sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, Acts 8:12, Acts 26:18, Titus 3:4-7), and for an appeal to God our Father for a good conscience (Hebrews 10:22, 1 Peter 3:21), so that you can begin your walk in newness of life (John 3:1-7, Romans 6:4, 1 Peter 1:3), and to be able have your prayers to God heard again (Isaiah 1:15, Psalms 6:9, Matthew 6:9 KJV, Philippians 4:4-7, 1 Peter 5:6) knowing that your prayer is being mediated to God through His Son our Savior Christ Jesus our Lord (Matthew 7:7, John 14:13-14, Romans 8:34, 1 Timothy 2:5) and the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26, Ephesians 2:18, Ephesians 6:18, Jude 1:20-21) is truly an inexpressible joy.  

To find peace with God (Romans 5:1-2) through our Lord Jesus Christ can only be measured with the love that God the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that have for our lives and our souls for now and all eternity (Matthew 25:34). What an indescribable gift from God (2 Corinthians 9:15, Ephesians 2:8). 

These scriptural references are but just a few of the ones that address how important our lives, and the love of God the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit are.

Genesis 1:1

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 2:7

7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Genesis 3:14-15

14 The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

Genesis 2:21-22

21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
 

John 3:12-18

12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Acts 2:38

38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 3:19-23

19 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’

Romans 8:26-27

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 

Romans 8:31-39

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Philippians 4:4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 4:8-13

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

James 5:19-20

19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Jude 1:20-23

20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. 

Conclusion

Our Lord stated in the scriptural passages of (John 3:1-7) our Lord tells us that unless we are born again of water and spirit, we cannot enter the kingdom of God. The Apostle Peter opens the door of the kingdom for those to enter by repentance, confession, and baptism (Acts 2:32-42). 

Through our obedience (Romans 1:1-6) not only do we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38), we also are cleansed from our sins and forgiven (Acts 2:38), we have an appeal to God for a good conscience (1 Peter 3:21), and we begin a newness of life as children of God (Romans 6:1-11, Galatians 4:6). We are to be obedient to the faith (Matthew 6:24, John 8:34-36, Romans 6:16-17, Romans 6:20-23, Titus 3:1), being faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10), enduring, steadfast, hopeful and rejoiceful (Acts 11:23, Romans 5:1-5, 1 Corinthians 4:12, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 1 Corinthians 15:58, 1 Thessalonians 5:16, 2 Thessalonians 1:4, 2 Timothy 2:24, Hebrews 6:19, Hebrews 12:7, James 1:12, James 5:11, Revelation 2:3) so we can live an eternal with God (Jude 1:21).
