Salvation teaching featuring 1 John

Here is a salvation teaching featuring various verses which point to Jesus and how He came to eliminate sin and all.

Here in 1 John 1 that God is light and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin, and that we will be forgiven and cleanses when we confess our sins to God

(1 John 1:5)  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

(1 John 1:6)  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

(1 John 1:7)  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

(1 John 1:8)  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

(1 John 1:9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

(1 John 1:10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

In 1 John 2 the first two verses remind us that Jesus was the propitiation for all sin of the whole world

(1 John 2:1)  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

(1 John 2:2)  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Among other things 1 John 3 reminds us that Jesus was manifested to take away sin and destroy the works of the devil.

(1 John 3:5)  And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

(1 John 3:6)  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

(1 John 3:7)  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

(1 John 3:8)  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 4 states how God is love, so much so that He sent Jesus to be the propitiation for sins, and for all those who confess Jesus as the Son of God, God will dwell in him (and he in God)

(1 John 4:7)  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

(1 John 4:8)  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

(1 John 4:9)  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

(1 John 4:10)  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(1 John 4:11)  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

(1 John 4:12)  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

(1 John 4:13)  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

(1 John 4:14)  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

(1 John 4:15)  Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

In John chapter 5 John reminds us forcefully those whoever has Jesus has eternal life and then can ask whatever they want and will be heard, including repentance and getting forgiveness for sins.

(1 John 5:4)  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

(1 John 5:5)  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

(1 John 5:6)  This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

(1 John 5:7)  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

(1 John 5:8)  And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

(1 John 5:9)  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

(1 John 5:10)  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

(1 John 5:11)  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

(1 John 5:12)  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

(1 John 5:13)  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

(1 John 5:14)  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

(1 John 5:15)  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

(1 John 5:16)  If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

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
