Salvation is a Prize

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but
I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am
apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I
do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus.
Salvation is a Hope

shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Salvation is in Jesus Christ
2 Timothy 2:10
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Salvation is Eternal
1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that
is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal
life.
2 Timothy 2:10
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Salvation is to be Strived for
Luke 13:23-24
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said
unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Salvation is Urgent
2 Corinthians 6:2
2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation .)
Salvation is through the forgiveness of sin

sins.

them that obey him;
Salvation is by Grace
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God:
Saved by grace means to many saved apart from obedience to God on the
grounds that salvation is not by our works. We are unable to repay God
what it cost Him to offer us salvation. His cost was too high for us, we
can never pay back the cost no matter what good we may do in this life.
Jesus still had to die for us no matter what. With all that we could ever
do, we can never ever deserve salvation. That is why it is by grace.
Salvation is for all
John 3:16
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.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely.
Salvation is all the things listed above.
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence
only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling.
John 6:27
Labour not for the meat which perisheth , but for that meat which endureth
unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him
hath God the Father sealed. |
