According to Paul in Romans 3 one is justified by believing in Jesus' propitiation for our sins. A cursory reading of what he's saying might lead one to believe that this is all that is necessary to be saved, but if we're to take Christ's words seriously one must also do the will of the Father...

I'm paraphrasing, but James 2:24 in the KJV reads, "24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." Also in Matthew 7:21 Jesus says it is only those who do the will of the Father that will inherit the kingdom of heaven, and goes on to say in verse 24 therefore he...

John 3:36 King James Version 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. The wording for the KJV is sort of unique hence why I'm asking only about it. Is this saying that whoever does not...

In the English translations of John Chapter 3 Jesus says if you believe in him you are saved. 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. (KJV) 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his...

John 3:18 King James Version 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Is simply believing in Jesus (like that he is a person and that he exists) enough to be saved...

Romans 10:9 English Standard Version 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 New International Version 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart...

I know someone who always tells me that she received Jesus and I don't know what to think about that. Out of interest I want to know if this is a false way to be saved. It seems to be the fundamental security she has in her salvation. What I can't understand is if she genuinely believes that...

Romans 4:23-25 King James Version 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our...

Acts 2:22-24 King James Version 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge...

Isaiah 53:11 King James Version 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. As is shown here, Jesus' death for our sins justifies us of all our sin before God. In fact, God...

Romans 10 King James Version 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own...

And what exactly does this mean if this is true? I am conflicted about this because this is translated differently in two different translations. 1 John 5:19 English Standard Version 19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19 King James...

Acts 2:22-24 King James Version 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge...

Mark 12:18-27 King James Version 18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up...

The gospel, or good news, of Jesus Christ is the news that Jesus, the son of God, the Christ (Messias), died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. Why is this good news? That Jesus died for our sins (our sins were laid on Jesus and Jesus was put to death for them) was buried and rose...

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the propitiation for our sins. He is the means by which God the Father propitiated the problem of our sins for himself. Jesus died for our sins, God inflicted all consequence for our sins on Jesus. Romans 3:24-26 KJV 24 Being justified freely by his...

John 3:18 King James Version 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 John 5:13 King James Version 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of...

Or did he just die for our sins? This is something I've been trying to figure out for the past few months and have been unable to do so. As far as I have read, the language in the Holy Bible never explicitly says that Jesus took the punishment for our sins, but it seems clear to me that he died...

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 King James Version 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I...

1 John 5:13 King James Version 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. This is a very valuable verse in the Bible, it tells you exactly what you need...
