my eyes confirmed that I received 4 bible verses, but in context of faith, what does receive mean?
Believe me I really understand where you are coming from....

Receive it by faith from the standpoint that you and I can't save ourselves accept the fact that Jesus blood and sacrifice of death covers our sins. It is Jesus perfect life that God accepts and looks at and not our sinful life.

Accept by faith that Jesus is the faithful one and we are not.

Trust that Jesus death and sacrifice is enough to cover your sins - Receive it accept it and trust in it.

God is the one who had to explain it to me where I finally got it ask Him to open your eyes and heart for understanding He will be happy to assist. I'm human and apparently not getting it across....wish I could however I understand because it took me 56 years to understand it I'm 63 now and still don't understand a lot but am grateful to God for helping me to understand salvation better because I too always felt lost for those 56 years.

The only thing that bugs me about this thread is that sometimes I see something I want to reply to but don't have time to at the moment and then I'll come back an hour or two later and can't find it again... :(
This has happened to me before, I went to that person's page and tried to find the link in their posts. It helps to use the search feature on a computer. In Windows, use ctrl+f to search for specific words or phrases on a page. This way you do not have to read everything.
