I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to share what I believe regarding the Nature of God's Salvation Program and what it means to be saved.
I have read many comments on this site with differing understandings on this very important topic. Just as during the church age their were vastly differing teachings regarding God's Judgement and the Nature of Salvation. But there is only One Truth. What is only and ultimately important is what the Bible, the very Word of God Himself, teaches. The Bible, the WHOLE BIBLE, must be our only and ultimate authority. Not what we might conjure up from our own mind or from a few verses that we like, or what any church or confession or theologen might have taught.
There is no other doctrine more important than this, in my view. In fact the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation is God's message to mankind regarding the condition of mankind, God's Judgement Program, and the incomprehensible Mercy of God in providing, at an unimaginable cost to God Himself, a Salvation Program to save a people for Himself.
Since it is difficult to deal comprehensively with this subject by a few comments on a site like this, I would encourage anyone that has an interest in exploring what the Bible teaches about God's Salvation Program to visit the SearchingHisWord web site, go to the literature section, and download the booklet entitled "I Hope God Will Save Me"; this is an indepth Bible study on this important and critical question. Most importantly though, we must test everyting we have been taught or believe with the WHOLE BIBLE, constantly praying that God would open our understanding and lead us into truth.
I do hope all have a Blessed Christmas season and New Year.
Yes thankyou . I am also an avid reader of the whole Bible , not just the new testament . I believe it's essential for us to get the whole picture . God is the same God from the old in the new and there are many very important lessons in the old testament .
