Pray for Kouroush who is helping set up the community centre in Turkey. He was forced to flee his home country after being imprisoned and tortured for his faith - now he wants to help other believers who are refugees. Ask the Lord to use him to bring God's hope and healing to others.

How to be SAVED and have ETERNAL SALVATION !
(IF YOU ARE ALREADY SAVED, PLEASE FORWARD TO THOSE YOU KNOW WHO ARE NOT YET SAVED)
(Mark 16:15 --- 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.)
THE GOSPEL IS 1 COR. 15:1-4!!!
THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION
Many Modern Christian sects erroneously teach
salvation is by something a sinner DOES. They claim a person's salvation is dependent upon the
WORKS of the sinner. But nothing could be further from the truth of God's word! According to the Bible,
salvation is by receiving (
by faith) what
Jesus DID on the cross of Calvary, when
HE shed his blood to
pay for the
sins of man.
HIS FINISHED WORK, done once and for all, is the only thing that can
save a Sinner and give him
forgiveness of sins and
eternal life.
The Bible clearly presents
The Gospel in (
1 Corinthians 15:1-4):
1
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Notice the Gospel is
what JESUS DID FOR MAN, and
NOT what MAN CAN DO FOR GOD!
A person is only saved by
BELIEVING in the
finished work of Jesus Christ, when
he shed his Precious Blood for
our sins. This
blood atonement was necessary, for without
shedding of blood, is no remission (
Heb. 9:22). God has always demanded
blood for sin. In the Old Testament, God accepted the
blood of a lamb. In the New Testament,
God accepts the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the LAMB OF GOD, slain for your sins.
The Gospel of (
1 Corinthians 15:1-4), has five parts:
1
Christ died
2.
For our sins
3.
Was buried
4.
Rose Again
5.
According to the Scriptures
An old preacher once said, "
YOU CANNOT PREACH THE GOSPEL WITHOUT PREACHING THE BLOOD ATONEMENT OF CHRIST AND YOU CANNOT PREACH THE BLOOD ATONEMENT OF CHRIST WITHOUT PREACHING THE GOSPEL!"
This is absolute Bible truth! For
salvation by
Jesus Christ's bloody sacrifice on the cross is the only means in which God offers
eternal life.
Just as we see the
blood of Christ in the five wounds He bear on the cross, so we too see
the blood of Jesus in the the five points of the Gospel.
Christ died. Jesus shed every drop of
his precious blood on the cross of Calvary, dying in man's place for man's sins. His
blood dropped into the ground.
For our sins. The bible likens sin unto blood in (
Isaiah 1:18): "
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
Scarlet and
crimson are the color of
BLOOD.
Was buried. Jesus Christ was buried in the same ground in which
his blood was spilt. When Abel died, we read the following words in (
Gen. 4:10), in which God said: "
...the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground." Shed
blood speaks to God! (
Hebrews 12:24), then tells us the following about
the blood of Jesus: "
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." Christ's
blood speaks as well! What does it say? It says the
innocent (
JESUS) died for the
guilty (us sinners)!
Rose Again. When Jesus rose again, the Bible tells us Jesus Christ took his
blood to heaven, and sprinkled it on the mercy seat there (
Heb. 9:12-25), where it's still there waiting to wash away the sins of the most vilest sinner! Are you
washed in the blood?
According to the Scriptures. The whole Old Testament points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah. He's pictured time and again in all the sacrifices the Jews slaughtered in the temple for the atonement of their sins. When
Jesus died on the cross as the sacrificial Lamb of God,
shedding his blood, he fulfilled prophecy written of him all throughout the Old Testament.
So there you have it! The
BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST is found all throughout the entire Gospel as well as in the whole Bible! And, you can't preach the
blood without preaching the Gospel, and you can't preach the Gospel without preaching about the
shed Blood of Jesus!
Now, to be
saved, the Bible clearly teaches us that
salvation is by FAITH, without WORKS (
Eph. 2:8-9).
Faith in what?
FAITH IN THAT SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!
(
Romans 3:25-28), makes this very clear:
25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Twelve scriptural proofs that God shed His own life's BLOOD for our sin:
1) "church...purchased
with his own blood"
2) "a propitiation through faith
in his blood"
3) "justified
by his blood"
4) "made nigh
by the blood of Christ"
5) "having made peace
through the blood"
6) "
blood of Christ...purge your conscience"
7) "boldness to enter into the holiest
by the blood of Jesus"
8) "
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin"
9) "washed us from our sins
in his own blood"
10) "redeemed us to God
by thy blood"
11) "made them white
in the blood of the Lamb"
12) "they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb"
To be
justified, or
saved, a person's
faith must be wholly in the
shed blood of Jesus Christ. This
declares God the
Just one. When a sinner is saved, he cannot
boast about himself or his works. He'll only brag upon
Jesus who saved him from his sins!
Sadly, in our modern age of apostasy, there are very few who claim to be Christians, that ever preach about the
blood of Jesus, and the need to
trust in it for salvation. But the simple Bible truth is, YOU
CANNOT EVEN BE A CHRISTIAN UNLESS YOU ARE
TRUSTING ONLY IN THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

HOW TO BE SAVED
THE KING JAMES BIBLE
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good...
