Salvation

Salvation: Acts 16:31 Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

Ask yourself these questions.  If I were to die today and stand before God and He should ask me, “Why should I allow you to enter My holy heaven?” what would my answer be? There is only one reason why I can enter God’s holy heaven. The appropriate response is this: “I will enter God’s holy heaven for one reason and one reason only. It is only because of Jesus Christ my Savior. Apart from His work on the cross I could never be saved.

Do I see myself as a guilty, lost sinner who stands condemned before a holy and righteous God (Romans 3:10-19,23)?   Do I recognize that my own heart is deceitful and wicked and incurably sick (Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 7:21-23)? Do I see myself as deserving of death and hell (Romans 6:23)? Do I realize that if God were to give me what I deserve and repay me for the way I have lived, then I would be totally destroyed (Psalm 130:3; compare Psalm 103:10)?

Jesus Christ is God’s only Solution to my sin problem (Acts 4:12).
