SALVATION AS I UNDERSTAND IT

ALL HAVE SINNED
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of God's requirement that man be holy!

THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH
Romans 6:23 - For the ultimate result of sin is death!

BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS IN THE GOSPEL MESSAGE 
Romans 1:16 - I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile!
Romans 5:8 - God demonstrated His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us!
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The Apostle Paul wrote, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved....For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that 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!
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, and as such, we plead with you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God.  For God has made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him!
Ephesians 2:8-9 - Although we are totally undeserving, God saves through faith; salvation is not of our own merit, but it is the gift of God:  it is not of works, so that no man can boast!

SALVATION IS THE RESULT OF FAITH IN THE GOSPEL MESSAGE
Romans 10:8-13 - But what....is the Word of faith which we preach?  It is that if you will confess your faith in the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.  For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile:  for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!

THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN GOD'S OFFER WILL EXPIRE!
IT MAY BE YEARS FROM NOW, OR THIS VERY DAY!
DO NOT WAIT; TRUST THE GOD OF THE GOSPEL TODAY!
