Jesus Died For You To Be Saved

[Frank Broom]

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

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.

God has his hand extended towards you right now for you to receive what He is offering. Someone might be saying you don't know what I have done, no you don't know what Jesus has done. Jesus took your penalty for God to treat you as if you never did what you did. That's why God says, "I will remember your sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). If He doesn't remember them He can't be holding them against you. Jesus bore your sins to be punished in your place so that God could treat you like as if you were him a man that has no sin. 2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. One meaning of righteous is innocent, Jesus was made sin for you, to be found guilty in your place so that you could be found innocent in his place, because Jesus knew/did no sin. Rom 8:1,2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. There is no condemnation to those who receive Jesus, none from God because He doesn't see you based on how you see you. He sees you as his word says, holy, righteous because it's not based on your actions. Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Before you did one sin you were a sinner(that was your nature). You were not made a sinner based on what you did, but by what someone else did. So likewise, you are not made righteous based on your actions(it's your new nature). It's not based on your action, but by the action of Jesus, the last Adam.

That's why he had to be born of a virgin, because the seed came from God so he didn't have a sin nature. So, by the actions of Jesus(the last Adam) you receive his nature by being born again just like you received Adam's nature when you were born. John 3:3,7 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. All you have to do is be born again to receive that nature. And that new nature will bring new fruit, fruits of righteousness. Ephesians 2:5,7,8 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;). 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. So, it was God's idea first not mans that God wants to be good to you. So, it's not about how bad you have been, but about how good God is and wants to be towards you (yes you). Romans 2:4 it's the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. Don't let that go to waste, receive. His hand is extended to you right now and every second. 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. He's knocking right now at the door of your heart, but will you open it and receive him in.

It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

Does that mean I don’t have to die anymore?
If the wages of sin is death, and Jesus took my place, and paid for my sins, that means I don’t have to die.

I was thinking that Jesus himself had to be saved from death through resurrection from the dead. And if we look to him as the accepted sacrifice, we too may be raised from the dead like he was.

My friend, you cannot take epistles written to saints and apply them to sinners. It is written: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

For example, Romans is written to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints.

And Ephesians, it is written to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

Also, you never wrote how men can obey the gospel to become christians. Jesus Christ showed unto his apostles that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

And that is what they did when the New Testament began on the day of pentecost, saying: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

There is no such thing as a "sinner's prayer", sir.

Remember what the Holy Ghost said by his apostle: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

When the Bible speaks of our Savior "bearing our sins", it means people sinned against Him. It means people conspired to put our Lord to death contrary to what the law says.

consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself Heb.12:3 KJV

The sinners prayer comes from Luke 18:13-14. The Publican prayed "God be merciful to me a sinner."

Christ said "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified."

Greetings, Charlie, and peace to you.

With all due respect and in love, the so-called "Sinner's Prayer" (which is vanity), does not come from the scriptures. It is written that if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God. And the portion of Luke's gospel which you mentioned in your reply to me, has nothing to do with the perverted doctrine of the "Sinner's Prayer" whatsoever.

Sir, have you forgotten that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers?

Therefore, he came unto his own, and he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Again, he was a minister of the circumcision. He was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And he spake this parable to them.

But alas, he came unto his own, and his own received him not.

After his resurrection, he showed unto his apostles that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. He said unto his disciples: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And that is what his disciples did when the day of Pentecost was fully come. For it was on that day that the New Testament began; for there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

As it is containted in the scripture: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

And again: I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

They therefore preached on that very day the gospel of Christ, saying: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

As it is written, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Therefore, any man who has not been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins nor have received the gift of the Holy Ghost, is not a christan. He is still a sinner and will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Woe unto the man who lies to people with the "Sinner's Prayer"! But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

We can make salvation very complicated, or we can take the Scripture for what it says.

Christ said the man went home justified. I'll take Him at His word.

To just take this passage by itself and suggest that this is all anyone has to do to be saved is completely overlooking the rest of scripture which details the mechanics of salvation.

As it is written of you, o rebellious man: Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

Farewell.

 

[Charlie24]

To just take this passage by itself and suggest that this is all anyone has to do to be saved is completely overlooking the rest of scripture which details the mechanics of salvation.

We must consider that this man who made the sinners prayer was still under the Law .Christ had not yet offered Himself as our perfect sacrifice, and the New Covenant in Christ's blood was not in force.

Every afternoon at 3pm, under the Law, a sacrifice was offered for the sins of the day at the temple. This man made that plea of forgiveness based on that sacrifice which represented Christ.

He was justified by the atoning blood of the Lamb, right there on the spot.

I'm sorry I can't agree on your view of salvation. Paul is the only author in Scripture that tells us point blank what we must do to be saved, in fact he tells us several times throughout his epistles.

Not one time did he include water baptism as necessary for salvation.

Yes, it can get tough! But as Jude once said,

Jude 3
"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

The Lord expects nothing less from us.

Jesus Died For You To Be Saved

To clarify, I think this should be something along the lines of "Jesus Died For You To Be Savable" otherwise it sounds a bit like Universalism.

All were in Adam when he sinned, therefore all are mortal. Jesus was in Adam when Adam sinned. Jesus was mortal.

Runningman This is not universalism, God wants everyone saved. He doesn't have to make anyone savable everyone is savable otherwise you are saying what Jesus did was not enough. Anyone that does as God's word says Romans 10:9,10 will be saved.

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

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.

God has his hand extended towards you right now for you to receive what He is offering. Someone might be saying you don't know what I have done, no you don't know what Jesus has done. Jesus took your penalty for God to treat you as if you never did what you did. That's why God says, "I will remember your sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). If He doesn't remember them He can't be holding them against you. Jesus bore your sins to be punished in your place so that God could treat you like as if you were him a man that has no sin. 2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. One meaning of righteous is innocent, Jesus was made sin for you, to be found guilty in your place so that you could be found innocent in his place, because Jesus knew/did no sin. Rom 8:1,2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. There is no condemnation to those who receive Jesus, none from God because He doesn't see you based on how you see you. He sees you as his word says, holy, righteous because it's not based on your actions. Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Before you did one sin you were a sinner(that was your nature). You were not made a sinner based on what you did, but by what someone else did. So likewise, you are not made righteous based on your actions(it's your new nature). It's not based on your action, but by the action of Jesus, the last Adam.

That's why he had to be born of a virgin, because the seed came from God so he didn't have a sin nature. So, by the actions of Jesus(the last Adam) you receive his nature by being born again just like you received Adam's nature when you were born. John 3:3,7 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. All you have to do is be born again to receive that nature. And that new nature will bring new fruit, fruits of righteousness. Ephesians 2:5,7,8 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;). 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. So, it was God's idea first not mans that God wants to be good to you. So, it's not about how bad you have been, but about how good God is and wants to be towards you (yes you). Romans 2:4 it's the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. Don't let that go to waste, receive. His hand is extended to you right now and every second. 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. He's knocking right now at the door of your heart, but will you open it and receive him in.

It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

That prayer will save nobody.
Where was the repentance from sin ?
Where was the washing away of past sins ?
Where is the mentioning of enduring faithfully until the end ?

When the Bible speaks of our Savior "bearing our sins", it means people sinned against Him. It means people conspired to put our Lord to death contrary to what the law says.

consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself Heb.12:3 KJV

journeyman when the scripture says Jesus bore our sins it means just that. The scripture says he bore our sins in his own body. Just as in the old testament God instituted the scapegoat offering that when the priest laid his hands on the head of the goat and confessed the sins of the people the sins of the people were put on the head of the goat. That's what Jesus did our sins were put on him. Thanks
