Madison, John 3:16 for God. So loved the world that he gave
his only begotten, son, that whosoever believes in Him.
Should not perish but have everlasting night life.
That's how tan my sermon is putting all our trust in God for
Salvation. Let's pray, Lord, thank you for
this day. I pray that the sermon would be
blessing and encouragement. I pray that you would help me to
preach. Well, just name it.
Turn your back. My, I have three points for you
tonight. And the first one is salvation
is by God's power. Turn your Bibles to First Peter
1:5. First, Peter 1:5, First Peter
1:5 says who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
So when this this verse is telling us that were kept by
God's power, not our power, not our works, not anything else but
God's power turn your Bibles to Romans 1:16 runs 116.
The one there. Romans 1:16 says, for I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that believeth to the Jew first and
also to the Greek go to Romans 11:6 11:6 Romans 11:6 says and
if by Grace then is no more Works.
Otherwise Grace is no more Grace but if it be of works then it is
no more grace. Otherwise work is no more work.
So this verse is telling us that God's grace and works are two
separate things. If we have to work, And we're
not putting all our trust in God for salvation.
And there's only two ways to get to have really one, but we can
either put all our trust in God, or we can work our way to
heaven. And we all know that we're not
perfect, and we're Sinners. So the Bible tells us that in
Romans 3:23, Romans 3:23. 3:23 says for all have sinned and
come short of the glory of God. And verse 24 says being
justified freely by his grace through the Redemption that is
in Christ Jesus. Um go to Ephesians 5:31 289.
For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of
yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of
Works, lest any man should boast, this is probably the
clearest verse. That tells us all we have to do
is believe to be saved. And there's no Works involved.
I also want to notice where it says the gift of God, and the
gift of God is eternal life, and that brings me to my next point,
which is salvation is eternal go to John 363, 36 36.
John 3:36 says he that believeth on the son hath everlasting life
and he that believeth not the son shall not see life but the
wrath of God abideth on him. And this verse does it say
believeth he that believeth on the son will have everlasting
life next year or in a few days? No, it says he will have that
right away. an example of that is in Luke 24, I mean 23:23 Luke
23 verses starting at verse 42 says, and he said unto Jesus,
this is talking about the thief on the cross and he said unto
Jesus, Lord, remember me, when thou comest into came like
Kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, verily,
I say unto you. I say it's V today that shall be
with me in Paradise. Now, did the thief had to get
down from the cross and go do a bunch of works and be baptized
or, you know have to live a good life.
No. All we have to do is just
Believe that he was God, he would get salvation away and he
got his eternal life right away. And would you said we will have
eternal life right away. He was lying and we can show
that we can look at that. And Titus 1:2 I just wanted to
says and hope of eternal life which God that cannot lie
promised before the world began. So even before God created the
world he promised everlasting life to anyone.
That beliefs not teach me to my last one.
Are you sure? The Bible tells us how we can
know how we can know we're going to heaven for sure.
In John 5 and first, John, 5:13 First, John 5:13 says these
things have. I written unto you that believe,
on the name of the son of God, you may know you have eternal
life and that ye may believe on the name of the son of God.
So all we have to do to know. Sure is Believe on the name of
the son of God go to Romans 10:9 and not understand 9 says that
if Thou shalt confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus.
And shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the
dead. Thou shalt be saved.
This is say, believe in your works and God.
No, it just the Bible, just says believe in the death burial and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Another verse that tells us is
John 11:25 go to John 11:25. John 11:25 says this is talking
about the woman at the well. Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection and the right life. He that believeth in me though,
he were dead yet. Shall he live and whosoever
believeth in me, shall never die.
Believe yourself this. He's asking question another
verse is, John 5:24 Verily verily.
I say unto you. He that heareth my word and
believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall
not come into condemnation but is passed from Death unto life.
There's another verse that tells us that we'll have it right
away. Go to flip your pages in your
Bible to John 851. John 851, says verily verily.
I sent you if man. Keep my saying he shall never
see death. Never seen death is having
eternal life. Also on the Bible.
Can when the Bible says, if man. Keep my saying he's talking
about getting sick because God commands to get saved and you
for Sean 323 Flip first, run through to my three.
Your son 3:23 says, this is his Commandment that we should
believe in the name of his son. Jesus Christ and love one
another, as he gave us commandment another verse is
John 6:40. John 6:40.
Three pages over. And this is the will of him that
sent me at everyone, which see us the son and believeth on him
may have everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last
day. I hope this sermon was
encouragement and that you learned something.
Let's pray. Dear Lord, thank you for this
day. I pray that this sermon was
blessing and that it's pleasing. And I pray that rest of the
state don't go well and that we go back to our homes that people
get there safely. don't go well and that we go back to our homes
that people get there safely.
