New salvation teaching and tract

                                    New salvation teaching and tract.

Here is another salvation tract and teaching explaining why we really need Jesus and the fact is everyone will bow to Him- as the scripture says below

 Man is fallen, and nobody does right as these verses in Romans 3 point out.

Romans 3:10)  as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

 

(Romans 3:11)  no one understands; no one seeks for God.

 

(Romans 3:12)  All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one

 

God tried to reason with all people even about that

 (Isaiah 1:18)  "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool

 

God further promise to give people a new heart and also to put His Spirit in us in Ezekiel 36

 (Ezekiel 36:25)  I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your

uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

 

(Ezekiel 36:26)  And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

 

(Ezekiel 36:27)  And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

 

Romans chapter 3  is very clear that we need to be saved from our own sins that we have committed and clarifies Jesus’ purpose of His coming and death         

(Romans 3:23)  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 

(Romans 3:24)  and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

 

(Romans 3:25)  whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

 

(Romans 3:26)  It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

 

Here are the consequences of the sin that we have committed against God

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

 

The verses above make it clear that we need to be saved from our own sin, and the resulting consequences of death, eternal death. Here is another verse in Romans showing that while we were sinners Jesus died for us.

(Romans 5:8)  but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

Here are the powerful verses in Philippians 2 about how Jesus humbled Himself on the cross for all mankind and how God will so exalt Jesus as a result of Jesus’ obedience to His Father’s wishes that indeed Jesus will be so exalted that everyone without exception will bow and every tongue, every one will confess Jesus as Lord to the glory of God the Father.

(Philippians 2:5)  Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

 

(Philippians 2:6)  who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

 

(Philippians 2:7)  but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

 

(Philippians 2:8)  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

 

(Philippians 2:9)  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

 

(Philippians 2:10)  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

 

(Philippians 2:11)  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 

The first six verses of 1 Timothy 2 even further the point of how God wants all to be saved and that we are indeed to pray one for another with that end in mind

(1 Timothy 2:1)  First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

 

(1 Timothy 2:2)  for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

 

(1 Timothy 2:3)  This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

 

(1 Timothy 2:4)  who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

(1 Timothy 2:5)  For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

 

(1 Timothy 2:6)  who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

 

And so does these two verses in 2 Peter 3 for time is nothing to the Lord and He wants all to come to repentance and is patient

(2 Peter 3:8)  But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

 

(2 Peter 3:9)  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

 

Jesus indeed was sent by God for those who believe in Him to have eternal life with God because God loved the world that much.

(John 3:13)  No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.

 

(John 3:14)  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

 

(John 3:15)  that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

 

(John 3:16)  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 

(John 3:17)  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

 

(John 3:18)  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

 

John the Baptist repeats the message here to believe in Jesus for eternal life

(John 3:35)  The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

 

(John 3:36)  Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

 

These three verses state that what Jesus is doing God is giving us a gift and one we can never earn no matter what we did- it is a manifestation of God’s grace towards us

(Ephesians 2:8)  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

 

(Ephesians 2:9)  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

 

(2 Corinthians 9:15)  Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

 

In John 14 Jesus then makes it very clear that nobody can come to God but by Him

(John 14:6)  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

 

But Jesus also makes it clear in Revelation that He indeed is seeking people always

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

 

And here are some key verses in Romans 10 about Salvation:

(Romans 10:9)  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

 

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

 

(Romans 10:11)  For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

 

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

 

(Romans 10:13)  For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

 

Now those people are now a new creation in Christ

(2 Corinthians 5:17)  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come

 

And also at peace with God being justified by faith

(Romans 5:1)  Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

These two verses promise no condemnation with those in Jesus

(Romans 8:1)  There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

 

(Romans 8:2)  For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death

 

And nothing can now separate us from the love of God in Jesus, either

(Romans 8:38)  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

 

(Romans 8:39)  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

I am sure you have now seen enough now to be ready to pray to be saved. I am now including a short prayer that you can say to ensure that you are saved and have eternal life when you die, going to heaven to be with Jesus forever and not end up going to hell.

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
