1 | What's contain in the gospel that saves | Eph 2:8 | MrsBinGA | 55334 | ||
The gospel is summarized by Paul in 1 Cor 15:1-4: "Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," (NIV) The gospel is the saving work of God in His Son Jesus Christ and a call to faith in Him. Rom 1:16-17 says: "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.'" (NIV) Faith is more than an intellectual agreement to a theoretical truth. Faith is trust placed in a living person, Jesus Christ, and that He died in our place to pay for all our sins Rom. 5:6-8; I Cor. 15:3). Because of what He did for us, and our subsequently accepting His work on our behalf, we are now reconciled with God and stand complete in Christ Jesus (Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:18; Col. 2:10). We are also completely justified: "Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses." (NIV) I highly recommend you read Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. I think they will help you immensly understand what Christ Jesus did for you and who you are in Him. Blessings to you, Mrs. B |

3 | If we are saved by grace alone through f | Eph 2:8 | Reformer Joe | 55350 | ||
The gospel IS the message of God's grace alone through faith alone through Christ alone. It is through the communication of this "good news" that His Spirit renews the will and enlightens the mind, causing His people to embrace this message. --Joe! |

5 | Should we use the word "alone"? | Eph 2:8 | Makarios | 55442 | ||
Greetings "The Bible Is Right", We have been saved by God's grace through faith, and that is the only thing (God's grace) that can save us. That is why we use words like "alone" when we describe God's gift of salvation. No system of works or attaining merit badges will ever gain anyone entrance into the Kingdom of heaven. It is a gift that must be freely accepted and received, based on your faith in Jesus Christ. Is anything that we are saying making any sense to you, my friend? Have you read this part of the Bible and are you confused? Please give us some background on where you are, exactly, in your journey in accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Blessings to you, Makarios |

6 | and to me if all of us believe the same | Eph 2:8 | The Bible is Right | 55493 | ||
My problem is that I believe the bible is right, but there are so many people teaching all kinds of ways, and it is hard to get an understanding of what the right way is. Where I go to church, in that same area there are four different churches, and all claim to be teaching same thing, and to me if all of us believe the same thing why can't we all just get together and worship the same God in the same way? | ||||||
7 | and to me if all of us believe the same | Eph 2:8 | Makarios | 55496 | ||
Greetings "The Bible is Right", That is a very hard question to answer. There is one God, but many different beliefs/customs/traditions that follow: so many denominations, so many differences of opinion.. I believe that what we have in the Bible is Truth, and above all else, I believe that the Bible is what Christians should stand upon. If what you believe is honestly and conclusively given to you straight from the Bible, then you are believing the Truth. And if everyone strictly stood upon the Bible, above all else, then I believe that you would find a much greater bond of unity among Christians (in both belief and worship) then you do now. Blessings to you, Makarios |
