~ Salvation ~

Lord God, Truth is truth. You cannot argue with something that is true. If we have eyes and cannot see, I pray that You will open them. If we have ears yet cannot hear, I pray that You will unplug them. May all praise be to God for salvation. I am so unsure if I have addressed this properly. If I have missed anything, forgive me, Lord and correct me. Each day, let Your will be done. I pray all this in the name of Jesus, on whom all our hopes rest. Amen.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

— John 3:16 —

     I don’t see anything to explain here. Believe and you will have eternal life. Do you believe?

This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

— Romans 3:22-24 —

     “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” yes, I am a sinner. Imperfect. I am only justified through Jesus. Nothing… I can do to gain eternal life. But I am redeemed! Jesus has redeemed me. ^_^

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; … “

— John 11:24 —

      Jesus said it himself… “I am the resurrection and the life” I don’t think I can phrase that any better…

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

— John 14:6 —

     “No one comes to the Father except through me.” This is what I assume to be Jesus addressing alternatives to getting into heaven. There are none. If you seek salvation, there is only one path.

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

— Acts 4:12 —

     And in case, you place your trust in someone or something else. It puts it into even clearer language. “no other name under heaven” that means that anything that exists… none of them can save you. Not science. nothing.

If anyone sees something incorrect or missing, I’d like to know… I don’t know of any better way to say it. So I’m just posting up the verses. If you believe something else, what justifies you? (That was an honest question btw…) May God watch over you and protect you.
