Why Salvation is First?
Because the Bible is sharper than any two-edged Sword.
[Heb 4:12 KJV] 12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Bible is the living Word of God!
If you are reading this, I hope and pray it leads you to examine your faith. And your confidence in your Salvation is supported here. I in no way wish to question your Salvation. For it is by your faith and Your Faith alone that leads to Your salvation in Christ Jesus.
To Rightly Divide the Word of God is an activity guided by the Holy Spirit, Bible reading and Prayer. A lifetime commitment to studying your Bible, the Word of Truth. But first of all, Faith is needed unto Salvation by way of Christ’s death on the Cross and Burial ” IT IS FINISHED” paid for all Sins of Man, and God’s Power thru Resurrection before one can understand rightly dividing the Word.
So if you are saved and know it and you find to content here troubling, my goal is to get you to read the Bible and tell me why I am wrong. My key is “What does the Bible say?" and why you think I am wrong. Every verse referenced in here is from the KJV, my standard of reference. I use the Blue Letter Bible for my online research
Adam and Eve open the Door to Good and Evil (Sin). Christ offer the strength to combat Evil (Sin). If you are at a point of almost believing in Christ or you need a kick to get over the line, click on this
The Bible, King James Version, is God’s inspired book to save Man from Sin thru the Blood of Christ on the Cross. He Closed one chapter and open a new chapter, with this Age of Grace, and the Body of Christ. John 19:30 “It is Finished” He paid it all. We need to Know that Grace of the Holy Spirit in us. Faith and Faith alone in Christ Jesus’ Work on the Cross. Reference 1 Cor 15 :1-4. If you need some faith building please view my Faith Building Page. Romans 8 is highly important, but first read Romans chapters 1 thru 7 and focus on Romans. 3:23 and Romans. 4:5 1 1 Cor 15 :1-4
What is the Gospel Of Salvation?
With the souls of men hanging in the eternal balance, it is extremely important to give a clear presentation of the gospel. We have always marveled at how the Holy Spirit sorts through the maze of confusion regarding the various plans of salvation that have been developed over the years. Although all these plans contain an element of truth, they leave the door open to mislead the sinner.
If you have trusted Christ as your personal Savior, why not pray and thank God for your salvation.
Beloved, the unsaved are dangling over the lake of fire by one thin thread of human existence. The only thing that standing between them and eternal judgment is the good news of Christ and Him crucified. May the Lord give us a burden for lost souls, for “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
The Scriptural Terms of Salvation is simple -Faith and Faith alone:
Acknowledge you are sinner, “for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans. 3:23).
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died for your sins, was buried and rose again (Romans. 4:5; 1 Cor 15 :1-4)
Then how do we Rightly Divide the Word of Truth?
Once again charts are not God’s Word but fallible man efforts to understand God’s Word. Les Feldick used this in his studies. Les is in heaven now, but his websites lesfeldick.com and .org have a ton of good stuff.
It’s Not a Bingo game! It’s Bible Study of God’s Word. And Salvation allows the Holy Spirit to guide you through the Word. Each Book shows us Sin, and the Faith in God. Understanding comes from Faith in the Word of God. Even though Man (Jewish authors) wrote the Word down, God has planned the Bible since the birth of creation, Every Word totally God inspired in God’s Timing. And living with faith in Christ is a daily thing, not a Sunday thing. Rightly Dividing the Word of God is a lifetime thing.
I am a student of the Bible and a fallible man!
I am just a student of the bible. I enjoy reading God’s Word every day. At 75, I have heard much from many sources. What I consider most important is his Death, Burial, and the Power of the Resurrection. The Word of God is important and how it is rightly divided. I do believe our Study must include all Scripture with the Holy Spirit being our teacher. Every Word is essential, to be faithful to God and to understand what he wants to accomplish in me. The Holy Spirit is the interpreter of his words into our understanding of the Bible as a whole. That’s why I always say.
What does the Bible say?
It is important to read 14-19 to get the context and truth. I try to get the total thought of the verses used here.
