Bible Questions Answered: -Salvation-Not Simply By Imputation

Bible Questions Answered:
“Jesus died for the sins of the world, so all of us are forgiven period!”
Manya/ Moscow, Russia

Bible Answer:

Proverbs 14:12 KJV (16:25)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 21:2 KJV
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Jeremiah 17:9 KJV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Is there a “need,” for repentance?
(Be sure to read The Bible Prayer Line blog ….. Repentance )

Acts 20:20,21 NLT (The Apostle Paul told the Ephesian Elders...)
20 I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes.
21 I have had one message for Jews and Greeks alike—the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus.

The Word of God tells us we need...
Repentance from sin.....and
Turning to God, and of
Having faith in our Lord Jesus.

And confession of our faith.
Romans 10:10 KJV
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I John 3:4-6 NLT
4 Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.
5 And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in Him.
6 Anyone who continues to live in Him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know Him or understand who He is.

Salvation is not something simply decreed by God for humanity!
Salvation is not something simply imputed by God to humanity!
Salvation is not by works, but not apart from …..

Repentance from sin.....and
Turning to God, and of
Having faith in our Lord Jesus.
Confession.

Repentance:
Repent: To feel sorry or self-reproachful for what one has done or failed to do; be conscience-stricken or contrite.
(New World Dictionary)

Biblical - Repent: Greek-Metanoia (Met-an-oy-ah):
Regret, remorse, reversal (to do an about face), reformation, repentance.

Matthew 4:17 KJV
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 9:13 KJV
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Mark 1:14,15 KJV
14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mark 6:10-12 KJV (Jesus)
10 And He said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

Luke 13:3 KJV (Jesus)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luke 15:7 KJV
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Luke 24:47 KJV
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Acts 2:38 KJV
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 3:19 KJV
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

Acts 17:30 KJV
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Acts 26:20 KJV (Apostle Paul)
I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God—and prove they have changed by the good things they do.

Romans 2:4 KJV
Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and long suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

II Corinthians 7:8-10 NLT
8 I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.
9 Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.
10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Revelation 2:5,16 KJV
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

Revelation 3:3,19 KJV
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

To believe one is “saved,” because Christ died for the sins of the world, and that he need do nothing, is without any doubt, a false idea.

Men are not saved without …...
Repentance from sin.....and
Turning to God, and of
Having faith in our Lord Jesus.
And Confession.

Salvation is not by “designing our own spiritual credos.”
The Apostle Paul told the Philippians....

Philippians 2:12 KJV
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.

John 3:16-21 NLT
16 “For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
17 God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.
19 And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.
21 But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”

Proverbs 28:13 KJV
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

I John 1:6-10 KJV
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Hebrews 3:15 KJV
While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts..."

Isaiah 55:6,7 KJV
6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
