1 | Salvation available for everyone? | John 3:16 | mark d seyler | 181874 | ||
Hi Shirlrogers, I believe that salvation is in fact available through Jesus to everyone, and is taught that way throughout the entire Bible. Is there a particular Scripture you wish to examine more closely? Love in Christ, mark |

that's a lot of material to cover. Lets start at the very beginning. (Its a very good place to start) ;-) Rom 3:21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, Rom 3:22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Salvation comes not by the keeping of the Law, but by believing in Jesus Christ. No one keeps the Law, all have fallen short. The Law and the Prophets foretold that righteousness would come by faith and not by the keeping of the Law. So righteousness is not only to those who would "earn" it, but to as many as would believe in Jesus. Rom 3:24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Rom 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; Justification, being declared to be in good standing with God, is a gift God gives to us out of His kindness, and is the result of Jesus paying the price due for our sin. God withheld judgment to allow redemption to come through Jesus. But God, being righteous, had to judge sin, so He put that judgment on His Son. Rom 3:26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Rom 3:27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. So God is righteous now, even though we are sinners, but are not destroyed, because His judgment was satisfied in Christ's death. God has both charged and paid the price for our sin, mind you, all of our sin. And so God may now freely dispense the benefit of that act. Rom 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Rom 3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, Its not just the Jews, or just the Gentile who have failed in the keeping of the Law, its all of us. We are all responsible before God. Rom 3:30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. Every one of us is in the same predicament with God. We have violated His Law, and we deserve to die. There is no special benefit toward salvation given to anyone. We are all guilty. But God, on our behalf, accepted the penalty upon Himself for our guilt. The righteous requirements of the Law have been satisfied, and it is only because they were satisfied that we can be justified by faith, whether "circumcised or uncircumcised". So the original distinction, circumcision, no longer separates, and we are all justified the same way, through faith. With me so far? Comments? Questions? Love in Christ, Mark |
