Subject: New Testament Repentance |
Bible Note: 'New Testament Repentance: 'Repentance in the Gospels and Acts 'By: Robert N. Wilkin Ph.D. 'Scripture does not contradict itself. Different authors may have different emphases, but not disparate views, on a given doctrine. 'We begin this study with a consideration of the requirement of eternal salvation as found in the Gospels and Acts. 'II. The Gospel in the Gospels and Acts 'The four Gospels and Acts present a united front. There is but one condition of eternal salvation: faith in Christ alone. The following references from John's Gospel are clear on this point: 'John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." 'John 6:47: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." 'John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 'John 20:31: "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." (...) 'The hermeneutical principle called "the analogy of faith" suggests that we can best understand unclear passages of Scripture by allowing related clear passages to shed light on them. This principle suggests that one should understand the occasional references to the Gospel in the Synoptics in light of the Gospel of John and not vice versa. John's Gospel clearly says that the sole condition of salvation is faith in Christ. That will inform our understanding of any so-called problem passage in the Synoptics. 'Some passages from the Synoptics clearly confirm that the sole condition of eternal salvation is faith in Christ. 'Luke 8:12: "Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts; lest they should believe and be saved." The sole condition of salvation given by the Lord here is faith in Him alone. All who believe are saved. 'Acts 16:31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. " In direct answer to the question "What must I do to be saved?" Luke reports Paul's sole condition: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. ...' To read more go to: www.bible.org |
