Simple, Scriptural Salvation

ALL HAVE SINNED, AND GOD MUST PUNISH ALL SIN.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Ro 3.10 | "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, Tit 3.5 | …My sins are more than the hairs of mine head: Ps 40.12 | "Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Ro 5.12 | For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" Ro 3.23-24 | “For the Son of man [Jesus] is come to save that which was lost.” Mt 18.11 | “Come unto me [Jesus], all ye that labour [fleshy works] and are heavy laden [with sin], and I will give you rest [forgiveness of sins].” Mt 11.28 The Holy Spirit “will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” Jn 16.8 The conviction of the Holy Ghost always comes before His comfort. Only the Blood of Christ can remove the Conviction and Guilt of Sin, not good works, religion, or water baptism.

GOD’S JUDGMENT AND YOUR ETERNAL DEATH IS SURE!
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" Heb 9:27 | "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecc 12.14 | Every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:10 | The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good. Prov 15.3 | In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. | Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Mt 12.36 | How can ye escape the damnation of hell? Mt 23.33 | And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: Rev 20.12 | A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Jesus Christ: thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:10 | The Lord will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. I Cor 4:5 | God knows the secrets of the heart. Psa 44:21 | God has set our iniquities before Him, our secret sins in the light of His countenance. Psa 90:8

BUT GOD IN CHRIST LOVED ALL SINNERS AT THE CROSS OF CALVARY!
You must, by faith, go to the cross of Calvary to receive God’s love. God accepteth no man's person; God is no respecter of persons.  God will only accept you at Calvary.  As long as you are not under the Shelter of Christ’s Atoning Blood, you are under the wrath of God. …but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 | For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3.16 | God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 5.8 | But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. Isa 53.6 | Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for His friends. Jn 15.13

Through the finished work of the Cross - God pardons sinners without encouraging sin; God simultaneously shows justice in punishment of human sin but mercy in pardoning; God turns His enemies into His friends and binds their hearts to Him in eternal love; and God can admit sinners into heaven without spoiling heaven's holiness. The Cross causes the saints to glory in it alone; and the Cross humbles sinners and are brought to faith in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

CHRIST DIED, WAS BURIED, AND ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY FROM THE DEAD:
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: 1 Cor 15.3-4 | For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Rom 5.6 | In whom we have redemption, through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Col 1.14 | Jesus said,"...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. John 14.6 | Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb 7.25 | He [God] hath made him [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Cor 5.21

YOU CANNOT HELP SAVE YOURSELF FROM SIN:
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph 2.8-9 | But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom 4.5 | But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Isa 64.6 | If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? Job 9.29 | Your "good works" are in vain, and they are only “good” in YOUR eyes. In God's holy sight, you are a Hopeless and LOST sinner, and your good works are totally unacceptable. If you are counting on your “own righteousness” (religion, good works, baptism, church membership, prayers) to save you, then you are deceived and on your way to HELL. "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness [Faith in Christ’s blood], and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth." Rom 10.3

Life is Short, Death is Sure, Sin the Curse, Christ is the Cure
…For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4.14 | The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 1 Cor 15.56 | For the wages of sin is death…Rom 6.23 | Men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3.19 | And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Heb 9.27 | So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Rom 14.12 | By one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin, so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Ro 5:12 |  The secrets of his heart made manifest and so falling down on his face he will worship God. I Cor 14:25 | I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mt 9.13 | Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…I Tim 1.15 | Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a Curse for us: Gal 3.13 | Whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through faith in His blood, Rom 3:25 | Much more then, being now justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him [Jesus]. Ro 5.9 | Jesus said…And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life. Jn 5.40 | But there are some of you that believe not. John 6.64 | Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Acts 16.31

GOD’S ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN-SICK SOULS:

Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Act 20.21

*REPENTANCE:  Godly sorrow (contrition) for sin against God and His holy law: Admitting you are a guilty sinner under the wrath of God, and that you can’t do "anything" to save, or help save yourself, and admitting that your soul’s only need is the Lord Jesus Christ (His person, name, work, and blood) to save you from the penalty of your sins: Death and HELL!  Repentance: Confessing and forsaking sin by the grace of God and help of the Holy Ghost.
…For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation…2 Cor 7.10
…but now [God] commandeth all men everywhere to repent…Acts 17.30
...that they should repent and turn to God..." Acts 26.20
…I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mt 9.13
I tell you, nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13.3
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way. and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." Isa 55.7

*FAITH:  To agree with God and put your entire confidence, trust, and dependence in the blood, merits (the finished work) of the Lord Jesus Christ to save your soul from Sin. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ep 2.8,9 | And be found in Him [Christ], not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Phil 3.9

HOW YOU CAN BE SAVED FROM THE "LOVE OF SIN" NOW!
Jesus said…”Behold, I stand at the door [your heart], and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him. | Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. | For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. | He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. | But as many as received Him [Jesus}, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: | 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. | In Luke 18.13, the publican prayed: "God be merciful to me a sinner." | "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
