    How Many Ways to Salvation through Jesus?

    Many people know we must be saved through Jesus, but they wonder whether Jesus might
    save different people in different ways. Consider things required of everyone for salvation.
    Jesus’ Death
    John 3:16 – God so loved the world that He gave _His only begotten Son_
    1 Timothy 2:6 – He gave Himself a _ransom_ for all.
    Hebrews 2:9 – By the grace of God He tasted _death_ for everyone.
    2 Corinthians 5:15 – He died for _all_.
    To be saved through Jesus, all must be saved by means of His death
    The Gospel
    Rom. 1:16 – The gospel is the power of God to _salvation_ for everyone who believes
    Mark 16:15 – Go into all the world and preach the _gospel_ to every creature.
    Galatians 1:8,9 – Anyone who preaches a different gospel is _accursed_. (Rev. 22:18f)
    There is only one gospel. We must not change or tamper with it. It is the same for all.
    Hearing or Learning the Gospel
    John 6:44,45 – No one can come to Jesus unless the Father _draws him_. They shall all be
    _taught_ by God. Therefore everyone who has _heard and learned from the Father_ comes
    Mark 16:15 – Go into all the world and _preach the gospel_ to every creature.
    Romans 10:17 – So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by _the word of God_.
    Since there is only one gospel and no one has the right to preach a different gospel, the gospel
    we must learn is the same for all.
    (Matthew 11:28,29; Acts 3:22,23)

    Faith
    Romans 1:16 – The gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who _believes_
    John 3:16 – Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have _eternal life_
    Mark 16:15,16 – The gospel says whoever _believes_ and is baptized will be saved
    John 8:24 – Jesus said, “If you do not believe that I am He, you will _die in your sins_”
    Ephesians 4:4-6 – There is _one_ body, _one_ faith, one God and Father of all
    So not only must we learn the gospel, we must all learn the same gospel. And not only must
    all believe, we must all have the same faith.
    Repentance
    Acts 17:30 – God commands all men everywhere to _repent_.
    2 Peter 3:9 – The Lord does not want any to perish but all should come to _repentance_
    Acts 2:38,39 – Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for
    _remission of sins_. For the promise is to as many as the Lord will call.
    So repentance is another universal requirement of salvation. All must learn and believe the
    same gospel. Then all must repent and determine to turn from sin and serve the Lord.
    (Luke 13:3,5; 24:47)

    Obedience
    Hebrews 5:9 – Jesus became the author of _eternal salvation_ to all who obey Him.
    Matthew 7:24-27 – Whoever hears Jesus’ sayings and _does_ them has a house that will not
    fall. Everyone who _does not do them_ has a house that will fall. (Cf. vv 21-23.)
    Romans 2:6-11 – The Lord will judge each according to his _works_. Eternal life is for
    everyone who _does good_. But wrath for every soul of man who _does evil_

    Acts 10:34,35 – In every nation whoever fears Him and _works righteousness_ is accepted
    2 Thessalonians 1:8,9 – Jesus will come in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not
    know God, and on those who do not _obey the gospel_
    The one gospel that we must all learn says obedience is required for all. The one faith that we
    must all believe requires us to believe that obedience is necessary.
    (2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 12:50; John 14:23; James 1:23-25; Romans 1:5)

    Confession of Christ
    Matthew 10:32,33 – Whoever _confesses Jesus_, him I will confess before My Father.
    1 John 4:15 – Whoever _confesses_ that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him.
    Romans 10:9,10 – With the mouth confession is made unto _salvation_.
    Confession is another universal requirement of salvation. But this is an outward act of
    obedience. If confession is required, then outward acts are required to be saved.
    Baptism
    Mark 16:15,16 – Preach to every creature, he who believes and is baptized will be _saved_
    John 3:3,5 – Unless one is born of _water and the Spirit_, he cannot enter the kingdom
    Acts 2:38,39 – Every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for _remission of
    sins_. For the promise is to as many as the Lord our God will call.
    Romans 6:3,4 – As many as were baptized into Christ were baptized into _His death_
    Galatians 3:26,27 – As many of you as were baptized into Christ have _put on Christ_
    The number of those baptized is the same as the number of those in Christ. So baptism is a
    universal requirement for salvation.
    (Matthew 28:18,19)

    The Church
    Matthew 16:18 – Jesus planned and built His _church_.
    Acts 2:47 – The Lord added to the church daily those who _were being saved_
    Acts 20:28 – Jesus purchased the _church_ with His own blood.
    Ephesians 5:23,25 – Christ is Savior of the _the body_. He gave Himself for the church.
    Ephesians 4:3-6 – There is _one_ body and _one_ God and Father of all
    1 Corinthians 12:20 – There are many members, yet one _body_.
    All saved people are in Jesus’ church. Church membership is another universal requirement
    of salvation and fellowship with Christ. The one body must teach and believe the one faith.
    (Romans 12:4,5; 16:17; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 12:25; John 17:20-23; Galatians 5:19-21; Luke 11:17)

    Faithful Living
    Matthew 28:19,20 – All nations should be taught to observe _all Jesus’ commands_
    John 15:6 – If anyone does not abide in Jesus, he is _cast out and burned_
    2 Corinthians 5:15 – Christ died for all, that they should _live for Him_
    Hebrews 12:15 – Look carefully lest anyone _fall short_ of the grace of God (10:38)
    2 John 9 – Whoever does not abide in the _doctrine of Christ_ does not have God
    Continuing to live faithfully after conversion is another universal requirement to ultimately
    receive eternal life through Jesus.
    (Hebrews 12:15; 10:38; Matthew 16:24-27; James 5:19,20; 2 John 9-11)
    Conclusion
    Acts 10:34,35; Romans 2:6-11 – God shows no _partiality_. The conditions of salvation are
    the same for all.
