Dig a Little Deeper: Salvation for All

 

There is salvation.

Although man is lost and dying in sin, God has not abandoned us to die in our sin. He provided a way to salvation. Jesus Christ came and paid the penalty for our sin by dying as a substitute. He fulfilled all the requirements necessary to enter the kingdom, and offers them to us if we will submit to him as Lord.

Confess and Believe

False religions all around the world require a works-based salvation. Christ, however, offers salvation by grace through faith. 

He has accomplished all the work necessary, and all we need to do is confess and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus has fulfilled the law. He has upheld God's standard of righteousness, and he offers to credit his righteousness to him. Simply confess and believe. 

Submit to him as Lord. He accomplished all the work. Now the choice is to submit to him or reject him.

Available for All

This salvation is available for everyone. It does not matter your ethnicity, your nationality, or your economic status. There are no conditions. There is no good deed you have accomplished, must accomplish, or ever will accomplish that makes salvation available to you.

It is available to everyone, unconditionally. 

However, just because it is available to all does not automatically make it apply to all. There is one criterion to apply this salvation from sin and God's wrath to come: Confess and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord.

That is not a work. That is surrender. You submit to him and it will be applied to you.

Not Available THROUGH all

Although salvation is available for all, it is not available through all. 

There is no other religious leader in all of human history, in the past, the present, or the future that will make salvation available to us.

Christ's work is sufficient. God does not need to send another. And he never has. He was pleased with Christ's work, it satisfied his wrath, and it accomplished all the works necessary for our salvation.

Salvation is available to everyone. But it is only available through Jesus Christ. 

Turn from your sin and come to faith in him.
