SEEING (UNDERSTANDING) IS BELIEVING!

THE GOSPEL!

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes it; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (non-Jew; Gentile).

Romans 5:8-10 - But God commended (demonstrated) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified (made righteous) by His blood (His death), we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life (His resurrection).

Romans 10:9-11 - That if you shall confess with your mouth (your faith in) the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.  For with the heart man believes unto righteousness (a right standing with God); and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes in Him shall not be ashamed.

1 Corinthians 15:1-6 - Moreover, brethren, 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, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.  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:  and that He was seen (alive) by Cephas (Peter), then by the twelve: after that, He was seen by above (by more than) five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present (to this day), but some are fallen asleep (some have died).

SALVATION IS BY GOD'S WORK, 

NOT OUR RELIGIOUS WORKS!

John 6:28-29, 44-45 - Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?    Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him Whom He has sent. . . . No man can come to Me, except the Father Who has sent Me draw him:  and I will raise him up at the last day.  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.  Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto Me.

Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace (God's unearnable favor) are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves (not of your own doing): it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man (anyone) should boast.

Philippians 1:6; 2:13 - Being (I am) confident of this very thing, that He Who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . . For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Titus 3:4-5 - But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us....

SALVATION INVOLVES TWO THINGS!

Luke 24:44-47 - And He said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me.  Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it (the Gospel) is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:  and that repentance (having a change of mind as a result of believing the Gospel) and remission of sins (the full payment paid for our sins) should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

REMISSION:

GOD DID HIS PART - HE PAID FOR YOUR SINS!

REPENTANCE:

YOUR PART IS SIMPLY TO BELIEVE HE DID IT!
