Jesus' Salvation Is Through Faith Alone

When Adam sinned, spiritual death fell on all his descendants. Jesus came to pay the price for sin so that all who believed in him would be forgiven and receive a new spirit, being "born again". We cannot earn this salvation.

After believing, we are to walk in obedience to what Jesus and his disciples told us to do and not to do. This is the purpose of my blog, to warn people to turn from sin and obey Jesus the Messiah. To know how we are to live and be obedient to Christ we must know what the New Testament teaches.

The warnings are to keep us from destruction, both temporal and eternal and make us fruitful for the kingdom. We should be witnesses of Jesus the Messiah and what he has done for us. He has made us to "rule in life". We are overcomers, even though we struggle. We must never give up! It will be worth it all.

Romans 5 ISV

12Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned.

  • 13Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given,k but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law. 
  • 14Nevertheless, death ruled from the time ofl Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed.m He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come.
15But God’s free giftn is not like Adam’s offense.o For if many people died as the result of one man’s offense, how much more have God’s grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah,p been showered on many people! 

  • 16Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned.q 
  • For the sentence that followed one man’s offense resulted in condemnation, 
  • but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses. 
  • 17For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man’s offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!r
18Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone. 

  • 19For just as through one man’s disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man’s obedience many people will be made righteous. 
  • 20Now the Law crept in so that the offense would increase. But where sin increased, grace increased even more, 
  • 21so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death,s 
  • so also grace might rule by bringing justificationt that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah,u our Lord.
Do you know you have faith? Has it changed your heart and is it making you a new creation? If it is not confess your sins and get back in the race. Read the New Testament. Obey what Jesus and the disciples said to do and not to do. Jesus is the only way to the Father and true eternal life. Protect your eyes and ears from filth. It will be worth it all!!!
