Salvation, 30

~ Romans Road, 5of7, Question 4 ~

Salvation is not a Reward for the Righteous.

It is an available Gift for those who understand their Guilt!

Introduction  ~  The Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ is straight forward.  This series of posts includes questions and answers from the Roman Road presentation of the Gospel. 

Reference  ~  “Romans Road, 1of7” posted March 9, 2019.

Question  ~   How can I receive this salvation? 

Answer  ~  There is only one way: belief and faith in Jesus Christ. 

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  …  For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved’” (Romans 10:9-10, 13).

Note  ~  “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6).

Fear God, 116

~ The Fear of God Is The Source of Wisdom ~

God does not want His children living in fear.  “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:2-3).  However, God does want His children to have a proper respect and reverence for Him.  We are told in many places in Scripture to “fear God.”  

This Week’s Passage  ~  “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.  For by Me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.  If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone” (Proverbs 9:10-12).

Fearing God Results in Salvation  ~  “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).  “A wise person fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self-confident” (Proverbs 14:16).  This does not mean the Christian is to live a fearful life—but a life which reverences God and seeks to do His will. 

Fearing God Results in Fearlessness  ~  “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).  The answer is: only God.  With the gift of salvation comes responsibility.

Fearing God Results in Witnessing  ~  “Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul” (Psalm 66:16).

question:  Who was chosen to replace Judas as the twelth disciple after Jesus was taken up into heaven?

answer:  Matthias (Acts 1:26)  

“And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  And they prayed and said, ‘You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.’  And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias.  And he was numbered with the eleven apostles” (Acts 1:23-26).
