Salvation tract featuring epistles of Peter

Here are some good verses about Jesus in the epistles of Peter, to challenge and encourage us, reflecting on why God did indeed send Jesus to die for us.

These two passages in 1 Peter 2 speaks of the beliers being a royal priesthood and other benefits for God loved us, enough to send Jesus to a tree so that by His stripes we were indeed healed

(1 Peter 2:3)  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

(1 Peter 2:4)  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

(1 Peter 2:5)  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

(1 Peter 2:6)  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

(1 Peter 2:7)  Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

(1 Peter 2:8)  And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

(1 Peter 2:9)  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

(1 Peter 2:10)  Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

(1 Peter 2:20)  For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

(1 Peter 2:21)  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

(1 Peter 2:22)  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

(1 Peter 2:23)  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

(1 Peter 2:24)  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

(1 Peter 2:25)  For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

This passage in 1 Peter 3 continues the point of being willing to suffer for Jesus did suffer for us, dying for us, and is now at the right hand of the Father in heaven

(1 Peter 3:14)  But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

(1 Peter 3:15)  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

(1 Peter 3:16)  Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

(1 Peter 3:17)  For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

(1 Peter 3:18)  For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

(1 Peter 3:19)  By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

(1 Peter 3:20)  Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

(1 Peter 3:21)  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

(1 Peter 3:22)  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Lastly these two verses remind us how God is timeless and also patient reminding us all that He wants all to come to repentance.

(2 Peter 3:8)  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Peter 3:9)  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Now I intend to conclude this message with a salvation tract so all can get the Son of God as their own personal Lord and Savior

Here is a good and simple salvation tract which will present the message of salvation by twelve bible verses

Here is the message that all have fallen short of God’s glory but Jesus did die for us to redeem us from our sins

(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

(Romans 3:24)  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

(Romans 3:25)  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

The good news is that while we were not righteous Jesus did die for us

(Romans 5:8)  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

This verse states the consequences of our sin and also the gift of God, too

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

These two verses in John 3 state that God loved the world so much to give us His son in order to have those who believe to have eternal life, and also that the world might be saved, not condemned.

(John 3:16)  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

(John 3:17)  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Jesus also says He is the ONLY way to the Father and Heaven

(John 14:6)  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus does indeed seek the relationship and does stand knocking at the door of everyone’s heart wanting in.

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Here is how to be saved, as stated in Romans chapter ten, confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth, believe God raised Him from the dead.

(Romans 10:9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

You can now call on the name of the Lord and begin this wonderful relationship with God which sin separated and Jesus atoned for, paying the price. There is nothing like a relationship with God. Nothing can compare or come remotely close to it. Please pray this prayer with me

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

God bless you and yours
