Conditions Required for Salvation

Okay, I have finally gotten the salvation situation. It is not that all these scriptures point in different direction, or there are other meaning of salvation. It is a time line of actions that direct the way to salvation or to be saved. It is like being handed a messed up Rubiks Cube. As you keep twisting and twisting to get all the colors together, the final result is that you solved it. The same with salvation, the only way to get saved or salvation is through Jesus Christ. And as you are saved you need to do things to grow in that salvation: reading the word, being obedient, knowing his promises, believe in the power that is given you through His word. You also, have ministry work and spreading the news of Jesus Christ. But the first key is excepting Jesus as your savior, and inviting Him into your heart.

Define:

Salvation-1. A saving or being saved; preservation from destruction; rescue. 2. a person or thing which is a means, cause, or source of preservation or rescue. 3. in theology, spiritual rescue from sin and death, saving of the soul through the atonement of Jesus, redemption.

Conditions Required:

Endurance
"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matthew 10:22

Faith and Confession
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
1 Corinthians 1:21

"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 3:15

Spiritual Receptivity:
"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." James 1:21

Spiritual Diligence
"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:10-11

Spiritual Cleansing
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Revelation 22:14

So as I lay out the time line of salvation, I hope that you will see the many facets of salvation.

1. The plan of salvation.

2. Announced by prophets

3. Salvation of God (Old Testament).

4. Salvation of Jesus Christ (New Testament).
a. Jesus the only door
b. Jesus the only savior
c. Jesus' grace is sufficient
d. Jesus' blood avails us
e. Salvation to whom obeys Jesus
f. Jesus' coming again

5. Conditions Required
a. Endurance
b. Faith and confession
c. Spiritual receptivity
d. Spiritual diligence
e. Spiritual cleansing

6. Available to All
a. A free gift of excepting salvation (eternal life)
b. We need to seek out the Lord, ( through prayer and the word)
c. The promise

Just remember that good works are important for our growth in the Lord, but it is not the way to Heaven. We have to except Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Then we need to be in prayer for our ministry work. Well, this has been interesting, so tomorrow I will look at another attribute of God. Tanya
