Salvation

 



"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23

Are you saved unto eternal life? Do you know where your 
spirit and soul is going when you die? Do you know where you
will spend eternity? Do you know what God's will is for you today?


God's will is for ALL men (men and women) to be SAVED
and to COME UNTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

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



Contrary to what is often taught in our world today, not everyone 
automatically goes to heaven! "Good" people also don't get a free pass
into heaven. Only those who are JUSTIFIED having simply believed the
Gospel of the Grace of God will enter heaven. Our salvation is by 
GRACE THROUGH FAITH ALONE in believing how that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again for
your justification.




The Gospel for This Dispensation

The gospel of the grace of God was first committed to Paul and is distinct from the gospel preached by Peter and the Twelve during Christ’s earthly ministry. Paul says:

“But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.” —Galatians 1:11

This “my gospel” (Romans 2:16; 16:25; 2 Timothy 2:8) was given to Paul by direct revelation from the risen, glorified Christ.


✝️ The Cross Alone: God’s Provision

Salvation today is not through Israel, law-keeping, or water baptism—it is through faith alone in the finished work of Christ. Paul declares this boldly:

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel... how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” —1 Corinthians 15:1–4

This is the good news: Jesus Christ paid the full penalty for our sins. Nothing can be added to this work. Not rituals. Not religion. Not personal goodness.


Salvation Comes by Grace Through Faith

We are saved the moment we trust that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. It is not a process, but a gift received:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” —Ephesians 2:8–9

Any attempt to earn salvation nullifies grace (Romans 11:6). Paul writes plainly:

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” —Romans 5:1


What Must I Do to Be Saved?

The question asked by the Philippian jailer in Acts 16:30 is the same question we ask today. Paul’s answer, inspired and complete, echoes through the ages:

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” —Acts 16:31

To "believe" here means to rest your hope fully in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection as sufficient for your sins. No altar call. No water baptism. No law. Just belief.

Once Saved, Always Secure

Paul teaches eternal security for the believer:

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: ...ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” —Ephesians 1:13

The believer is sealed, safe, and kept by God—not by personal effort. We are members of the Body of Christ, with a heavenly destiny, not an earthly one (Philippians 3:20).


Rightly dividing the Word brings freedom from fear and confusion. Salvation is no longer vague or conditional—it is full, free, and fixed in Christ alone. If you’ve believed this gospel, you are saved, secure, and a part of the one new man God is building in this dispensation of grace.



As Paul reminds us:

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” —1 Timothy 1:15

Glory to God for this unmerited, unstoppable grace.

    Devotional | The Gift of Mentoring Women on Biblical Womanhood

    Scripture  Titus 2:3-5 KJB  “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Mentorship is a powerful way for older Christian women to share their wisdom and experience with the younger generation. It is a beautiful expression of discipleship, fostering growth and godliness in the lives of younger women. Reflection:  Older women have a wealth of knowledge and life experience that can greatly benefit younger women. By mentoring, they can provide guidance, support, and encouragement, helping younger women navigate the challenges of life and faith. This relationship is mutually enriching, as it allows older women to fulfill their God-given role of teachin...

    The Spiritual Source of Smartphone Addiction

    When it comes to understanding the spiritual nature of our smartphone addiction, we need to first of all understand that Satan is the “god of this world” today. He is also known as the “prince of the power of the air” (think not just heavenly places but also airwaves, wifi etc!). Satan is a master deceiver. Though the internet, social media and our smartphones can be used in productive ways to help spread the gospel, it can definitely also be used in unproductive and even harmful ways. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” - 2 Cor 4:4 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:’ - Eph 2:2 Satan will use several things to try to wreck our spiritual lives including: Constant Distraction At its core, smartphone add...

I know it's not officially Autumn yet, but I look forward to this time of the year especially after long hot summers here in Southern Nevada.  I also wore autumn colors today. A Claret colored floral top and a long brown skirt. My planner - time to plan for September! I wanted to share a Picture of a cute doll my husband bought me earlier in the year- he saw it when shopping and said it looked like me! Haha so he bought it. I told him I would wear a similar outfit lol! This little bear came with the doll I recently watched a few films - one was Out of Africa. It's one of my favorites. Starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The cinematography and soundtrack are amazing. It inspired me to wear this outfit ... I was inspired by this outfit below and I realize it's not quite the same lol, but I did my best with what I have.  More outfits from the film.  The real Karen Blixen that ...
