John 16:
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
(NOTE: Once sent the Holy Spirit will reprove/expose/convict everyone of, sins? NO of "SIN" singular.)

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
(NOTE: The only SIN that Christ's blood won't/doesn't remiss/forgive is UNBELIEF)

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
(NOTE: Once sent the Holy Spirit will reprove/expose/convict every believer of righteousness. Not our own self righteousness, it's worthless Isa 64:6. Christ/THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jer 23:6. We become righteous thru Faith, whereby our Great High Priest. Imputs His righteousness onto us & takes ALL our sins onto Himself.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(NOTE: Sins required wage is Death. But, thru faith in a sinless Christ's redemptive payment. A pardon is given)

Cor 15:
2 (A) By which also ye are saved
(NOTE: The next 2 verses explains salvation's foundation)

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
(NOTE: A sinless Jesus died = Paid sin's required wage)

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
(NOTE: Jesus was buired for 3 days = Proof he died. And Jesus was raised from the dead = God's receipt, payment received & accepted)

How we appropriate/sieze/take hold of: Christ's payment = Faith & Confession

Rom 10:
8 The word is near you, even in your mouth, & in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach

9 If you will confess with thy mouth that Jesus is Lord, & and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved
(NOTE: Confess faith in Jesus sin redemptive payment & resurrection)

10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; & with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(NOTE: God imputes/credits our faith/belief/trust in Jesus, with a judicial declaration of righteousness. Salvation comes upon your heart felt belief & confession, that Jesus, who was raised from the dead. Is your Lord & saviour)

11 For the scripture says, Whoever believes on Jesus shall not be ashamed.
(Whoever BELIEVES! Places their FAITH in Jesus sin atoning work!)

12 There is no difference between the Jew & the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him

13 Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
(NOTE: Confess & believe that Jesus died for your sins & that God raised him from the grave & you shall/will be saved)

Believers Have Eternal Life
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son "hath" everlasting life & he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him
(NOTE: Whoever believes in Jesus Has/present tense, Eternal Life. BELIEVE on the SON & you HAVE Eternal Life!)

Unbelievers Are Condemned
John 3:18 But he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(Unbelievers in the son ARE (already/right now) & WILL be CONDEMNED. Don't Believe = UNBELIEF = NON-BELIEVERS will face the wrath of God")
