Subject: Salvation Poll |
Bible Note: Thank you to everyone who has provided some textual insight for my Salvation Poll Apologies for the length of this post! I am naturally inclined to debate, so my hope here is to gain focus on what is really important. For what it is worth I am posting my summary or paraphrase of a bunch of texts which mention salvation. I have also categorised them into: Commandments, How received, Action, People of Promise, Emotion displayed, Who provides my Salvation, and Our desires. They use the following format... Verse Summary *Category Isaiah 56:1 THUS SAITH THE LORD, Keep ye judgement, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. *Command Acts 13:47 We are commanded to be a light of the gentiles, so that WE? Should be for salvation to the whole world. *Command Psalms 24:5 The blessing of righteousness is received (not taken or earned) from the Lord of our Salvation. *How received 2Chronicles 20:17 We do not need to fight for our salvation because the Lord is with us, but we do need to go out against our enemies. *Action Psalms 40:10 We will declare the faithfulness and salvation of Jesus, not hiding or concealing his loving kindness, truth and righteousness in our hearts. *Action Psalms 40:16 If we love Gods salvation, let us seek God. *Action Psalm 50:23 They who offer praise and glorify God; to them salvation is shown. *Action Psalms 85:9 Salvation is for those that Fear God. *Action Psalms 119:155 Salvation is far (not gone) from the wicked; those who seek not Gods statutes. *Action Psalms 119:166 We have hope for salvation when we do his commandments. *Action Isaiah 12:2 We will trust and not be afraid. *Action Isaiah 25:9 Salvation is for those who wait for him. *Action Isaiah 52:7 Those who "publish" salvation, bring good tidings of peace. *Action Jonah 2:9 We will sacrifice to the Lord with thanks. *Action Romans 1:16 We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for we who believe it is salvation. *Action Romans 13:11 We should not be in a state of slumber. *Action 2Co 7:10 When we are in sorrow from being “scolded” in a Godly manner, repentance leads to salvation. *Action Philippians 2:12 We Obey (v14 and do all things without murmurings and disputes) and work out (accomplish or cultivate) our own? Salvation with fear and trembling. -This is a hard verse, any help here would be appreciated. *Action 2Timothy 3:15 Learn the Holy scriptures (from childhood) to make us wise unto salvation. *Action Hebrews 5:9 Salvation is for all them that obey him (Jesus). *Action Hebrews 9:28 Christ will appear with salvation to those who are looking for him to appear the second time. *Action Acts 13:26 The WORD of salvation is sent to the children of Abraham who fear God. *Action and People of Promise Luke 19:8-10 Zachaeus gave to the poor and returned fraudulent gains fourfold; Jesus said that salvation has come to him because he is ALSO a son of Abraham (both were required?). Jesus seeks the lost (those in need of salvation). -Can we say that if we feel Jesus calling us away from something that we may not yet be saved??? *Action and Promise 1Thessalonians 5:8 We are to be sober, having faith, love and hope. *Action and Emotion displayed Psalms 119:174 Gods law is our delight. *Emotion displayed Isaiah 61:10 We will have joyful souls and rejoice in the Lord Because the Lord has clothed us in garments of salvation and righteousness. *Emotion displayed Exodus 15:2 The Lord is my salvation *Who provides salvation? Psalms 3:8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; (anyone claiming something else is… a thief?) *Who provides salvation? Psalms 62:2 Only God is our Salvation. *Who provides salvation? Acts 4:12 Salvation in No other name under heaven. (Referring to Jesus Christ of Nazareth). * Who provides salvation? Psalms 25:5 Because God is our salvation, we should want to be lead and taught in (Gods) truth. *Who provides salvation? and Our Desires Psalms 27:9 We should beg for continued communion with God (when repenting of wrong) because he is our salvation. *Our Desires |
