NASB | 1 Peter 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:21 Corresponding to that [rescue through the flood], baptism [which is an expression of a believer's new life in Christ] now saves you, not by removing dirt from the body, but by an appeal to God for a good (clear) conscience, [demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |
Subject: How do we get saved, by baptism? |
Bible Note: The book of Galatians tells us to stop trying to be justified by law. Romans 11:1-6 Tells us it is grace that brought us into a saving knowledge of Christ 1Peter 1:2-3 Shows us it was through his mercy and grace that we have a reward in Heaven Romans 8:37-38 is the assurance that even though you are lead to be slaughtered God will not forsake you. To say that these scriptures support opposing arguments is tough. I would say these scriptures support different aspects of the Soverign Grace of our Lord. To sum up. Quit trying to be justified by law Grace is what saved you. Heaven is your reward. Nothing will seperate Gods hand upon you. |
