Salvation
For I delivered to you at first that which also I received, that Christ died on behalf of our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Due to Adam’s sin, we are all constituted sinners before God because he passed down condemnation to all of us, Romans 3:23; 5:12-21. The penalty for sin is physical death, Romans 5:12-21;6:23.
Christ died on behalf or our sins, Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 3:18.
God raised Christ from the dead three days later, giving proof that all who believe are justified before Him, Romans 4:25; Galatians 1:1; Ephesians 1:20.
What is required for salvation?
The Bible teaches that we must believe that Christ died on behalf of our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures to be saved, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
- God provides us with the faith to believe, Philippians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 3:5
- Direct this faith at Christ by believing that He died on behalf of our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
What is Next? – The Christian Life
- Be immersed (baptized) into water for a testimony of your association with Christ’s death and resurrection, Titus 3:5 – water baptism is not for salvation, it is for a clean conscience before God and is not required.
- Participate regularly in Christian Fellowship, Hebrews 10:24, 25
- Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,2 Peter 3:18
