Subject: Are these essentials for Salvation? |
Bible Note: THE CONDITION FOR SALVATION 'A. The Condition. Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition in the N.T. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). That faith must be placed in Christ as one's substitute for and Saviour from sin. ... 'B. The False Additions to Faith. ... '3. Repentance. This is a valid condition for salvation when understood as a synonym for faith. It is a false addition to faith when understood as a prerequisite, requiring the cleansing of the life in order to be saved.' ____________________ (p. 1950, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978). |
