Just God's Word

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, ,
and lose his own soul." Mark:8:36

No church, lodge or good works can save you. Take God at His Word.

Claim His salvation by faith. Believe and you shall be saved.

Below are a few of the questions that are asked about Salvation and simple answers with the scriptures for reference.

What is a Christian?

Simply put, a Christian is one who has accepted God's simple plan of Salvation. This is not a matter of how good a person you are, nor if you are the member of a church. You must be saved. Are you saved?

What is Salvation?


Salvation is God's gift to bring the repentant sinner back to Grace. John 3:7 says "You must be born again." To be born again means to be saved.

Who must be saved?


First, you must realize that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 tells us "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God" Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death" This means eternal separation from God in a place called Hell. Hebrews 9:27 "... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement"

More about God's plan.


God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear our sin and die in our place. 2nd Corinthians 5:21 "He hath made Him (Jesus, who knew no sin) to be sin for us... that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."

What must I do to be saved?


First, "God.... commanded all men everywhere to repent." Acts 17:30 With this repentance we come to agreement with God. We recognize our sin and realize what Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross.

Then, in Acts 16:30-31 Paul and Silas are asked by the Philippian jailer "...'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' And they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved... .' " This means that we believe on Him as the one who carried our sin, died in our place, was buried and who was resurrected by God. That resurrection assures that when accepting Jesus as our Savior the believer can claim everlasting life.

John 1:12 "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God. even to them that believed on His name."

Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved."

Whosever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can but shall be saved.

Sinners prayer


In Luke 18:13 the sinner prayed, "God be merciful to me as a sinner."

Just pray "Oh God. I know that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus took my place, that He died on the Cross, that His shed blood, death, burial and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank you, Lord, for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, through Your merciful grace. Amen.

Give me a break, you say. It can't be that simple... But it is.

It is scriptural. It is God's plan.
