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
We are all sinners before God because the result of Adam’s sin was passed down to all of us, Romans 3:23; 5:12-21. The penalty for sin is physical death resulting in eternal separation from God, Romans 5:12-21;6:23.
Christ died for our sins, Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 3:18.
God raised Christ from the dead 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 you must believe that Christ died for 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 you with the faith to believe, Philippians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 3:5
- Direct this faith at Christ by believing that He died for 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
