Dear Forum, I would like to propose a discussion concerning th Gospel. Is it God's sole means of salvation? |

2 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | Cyclist | 39571 | ||
John Reformed, Praise the LORD for His loving kindness and His mercy! I consider it a priviledge and an honor to get on my knees before GOD, for He is kind and righteous and loving and merciful! Blessed be the LORD forever! I read the entire thread on this subject, particularly "What about those who do not hear?" and "Is hearing the Gospel the only way?" I beleive, because of examples in the scriptures, that GOD can use anything in His creation at anytime to reach any one. Did he not call to Moses by means of a burning bush? Did he not part the sea? Did he not bring water from a rock? Is the arm of the Lord too short? Did he not put flesh upon dry bones? Did he not speak to Pharoh, who did not have a relationship with God, in a dream so that Joseph could interpret it? Did he not cause a donkey to speak to Balaam? Didn't Jesus say to the pharasees that if the disciples stopped praising him that the stones would cry out? Didn't Jesus appear to Paul, who persecuted the beleivers, along the road? Will He not use any means He wants to reach all? Whether by our mouths or by some other means? His mercy endures forever! Your brother in Christ, Cyclist |

3 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | John Reformed | 39592 | ||
Dear Cyclist, I appreciate your words and join with you in praising our Lord. He is absolutely, positively in charge of His creation. He can choose whatever means He pleases to bring His elect into the Kingdom. However His Word tells us that He has chosen the Gospel of His Son Jesus, as the only means by which men will be saved. Rom 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Heb 1:1,2 "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son". You cited examples of God's miraculous deeds from former times. He chose those means at that time to accomplish His will. Now that Christ has been revealed and has accomplished that which His Father's sent Him to do, He uses the Gospel alone. How else is Jesus to be glorified? Brother John |

Brother John, Give thanks to the LORD! He is good! His mercy endures forever! Bear with me brother John, I always enjoy giving praise to God before making my point. It usually has nothing to do with the point that I am going to make. I just cannot contain it! I don't go around the office running and shouting nor do I in public, although I do inwardly. Anyway, Good point. I'm eager to see any additional postings on this subject. In Jesus, Cyclist |
