SALVATION,
WHAT? FOR WHOM?
HOW MANY WAYS TO BE SAVED?
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts
4:11,12)
Only one way, faith in Christ.
HOW MANY KINDS OF SALVATION?
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because
we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe. (1 Tim. 4:10)
Salvation for all, special salvation for believers.
THE CHURCH’S SALVATION
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access
by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in
hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:1,2)
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of God. …
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may
be also glorified together. (Rom. 8:14,17)
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as
in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work
out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil.2:12)
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren
beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning
chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit
and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our
gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ. (2 Thess. 2:13,14)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again
unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Pet. 1:3-5)
THE
WORLD’S SALVATION
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace
of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one
that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one
to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto
justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned
by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ. 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. (Rom. 5:15-18)
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time
without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:28)
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. (Luke 3:6)
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men, (Titus 2:11)
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come
unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:3,4)
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power
of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night. (Rev. 12:10)
