Why talk about false prophets and false teachers? The reason why its important to do this is because there is only one gospel message that saves (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
We as born-again believers in Jesus Christ must contend for the faith (Jude 1:3-5). No one has the right nor the authority to try to change,
pervert or corrupt the gospel (Galatians 1:1-9).
Things unbelievers, false prophets, and false teachers don’t understand about the gospel. For these things are spiritually discerned and are revelations of The Holy Spirit of God.
1. The imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
False prophets and False Teachers do not understand the gospel of grace. And because they don’t truly believe in the gospel of grace,
they don’t truly understand the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
The Great exchange. A Holy Substitution took place on our behalf at the cross of Christ.
At the cross Jesus took your sins upon himself and in exchange he gives you his perfect righteousness when you believe in him as Savior.
The Bible says we have no righteousness of our own. We are not saved by our righteousness we are saved by his righteousness;
it is His Christ’s righteousness that covers us and saves us the very moment we believe in Him as Savior. Without the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ credited to him or her no sinner will ever be saved by God.
We need his righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) (Isaiah 53) (Romans 3:22-26) (Romans 4:5) (Romans 9:30) (Romans 10:4) (1 Corinthians 1:30) (Philippians 3:9)!
2. The revelation that salvation is in the very person of Jesus.
This is why when one believes in Him, they have salvation. But if one doesn’t believe in Him, they don’t have salvation. This is because He Himself is our salvation. Yes, I will say it again, For He (Jesus The Lord) is our salvation!
Read (Psalm 27:1) (Psalm 37:39) (Psalm 68:20) (Luke 2:25-32) (Luke 3:6) (Exodus 15:2) (Isaiah 12:2) (Acts 4:12) (1 John 5:11-13).
3. We are not saved by God By us keeping laws of Any kind.
We are saved by God only and simply because we believe in Jesus. Faith in Jesus alone is enough to be saved by God. And because God is the One True eternal God when He saves us, He saves us eternally.
Faith in Jesus alone saves. The bible makes it crystal clear that whosoever believes On The Son shall never perish but have everlasting life. Once saved always saved is indeed true and biblical.
The bible is clear that believers in Jesus Christ can never lose their eternal salvation (John 3:16-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 10:27-30) (Acts 16:30-31).
4. It is impossible for God to lie.
So, when God promises a person everlasting life when they believe in His Son Jesus, He will do just that. He will give that person everlasting life and they shall never perish.
5. It is impossible for a believer in Jesus Christ to lose their eternal salvation for many reasons, but I will share just a few reasons with you here below.
Reason #1. God is not a liar. The Bible says It is impossible for God to lie and he promised us that all those who believe in Jesus His Son will receive everlasting life by Him (Hebrews 6:18) (Titus 1:2) (John 3:16-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Acts 16:30-31) (1 John 5:11-13).
Reason #2. The Holy Trinity of God comes to live on the inside of the believer to indwell them everlastingly the very moment they believe in Jesus (2 Corinthians 6:16) (Galatians 4:6) (Revelation 3:20) (Colossians 1:27) (1 Corinthians 3:16, 19) (2 Timothy 1:14) (Romans 5:5-6) (Romans 8:11) (Ezekiel 36:27) (Isaiah 63:11) (1 John 2:27).
Reason #3. Every born-again believer in Jesus Christ is sealed by God The Holy Spirit forever. And no one can remove this Holy Seal of God (2 Corinthians 1:21-22) (Ephesians 1:13-14) (Ephesians 4:30) (2 Corinthians 5:5).
Reason #4. The Holy Spirit that’s given to you by God Himself is His guarantee and promise to you that you will be saved (2 Corinthians 1:22) (2 Corinthians 5:5) (Ephesians 1:13-14).
Reason #5. Jesus promised that all those who come to him for salvation He will in no wise cast out (John 6:37).
Reason #6. Jesus promised us believers in Him that He would never abandon us, leave us, nor forsake us his children. Jesus promised that He would be with us always even unto the end of the age (Hebrews 13:5) (John 14:18) (Matthew 28:20).
Reason #7. Every believer who believes in the biblical Jesus is born again and are now born of God everlastingly (John 1:12-13) (1 John 3:1-2) (1 John 5:1-5) (1 Peter 1:23) (2 Corinthians 5:17) (Titus 3:5).
Reason #8. Every born-again believer in Jesus Christ is now a totally new creature a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Reason #9. Every born-again believer in Jesus Christ is now a child of the living God everlastingly (Galatians 3:26) (Galatians 4:1-6) (1 John 5:1-13).
Reason #10. The very moment you believed in the biblical Jesus for your salvation the Bible says you have just passed from death into life (John 3:16-18) (John 5:24) (John 11:25-26) (Romans 8:1).
Reason #11. Every born-again believer in Jesus Christ is safely secured in The Eternal Holy Hands of God The Father and God The Son. And no one can pluck us believers out of their Hands (John 10:27-30).
Reason #12. Every born-again believer in Jesus Christ their names the Bible says is written in The Lambs Book of Life and can never be blotted out. The bible is clear that If you are a true born-again believer in Jesus Christ you can never lose your eternal salvation thus your name can never ever be blotted out of The Lambs Book of Life. Read (Romans 6:23) (Romans 8:1) (Psalm 103:10-12) (Isaiah 43:25) (Revelation 3:5) (1 John 5:4) (Romans 8:31-39) (Philippians 3:9) (John 6:37) (Matthew 28:20) (Hebrews 13:5) (Hebrews 7:25-27). The bible makes it so clear that faith in Jesus alone saves. The bible makes it crystal clear that whosoever believes On The Son shall never perish but have everlasting life. Once saved always saved is indeed true and biblical. The bible is clear that true born-again believers in Jesus Christ currently have everlasting life and can never lose their eternal salvation never (John 3:14-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 7:50) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Acts 16:30-31) (1 John 5:11-13).
Reason #13. The Bible clearly teaches us were not saved by our works so since this is true how then can I lose my salvation? The Bible teaches us we are saved by our faith in Christ. Faith in Jesus alone saves and is enough for our salvation. When I believe in Jesus, He saves me everlastingly. Therefore, I cannot lose it (John 3:14-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 7:50) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Acts 16:30-31) (1 John 5:11-13)!
Reason #14. All our sin’s past, present, and future have already been paid for in full by Jesus at the cross so again how can I lose my salvation? I cannot (Acts 2:22-24) (Acts 13:26-38) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Matthew 27) (Matthew 28:1-20) (Mark 16:1-20) (Luke 24:1-8, 45-48) (John 20:1-31) (1 Corinthians 15) (Acts 1:1-11) (John 1:29-35) (John 3:16-18) (1 John 1:7) (Acts 10:43) (John 19:30)!
Reason #15. We as born-again believers in Jesus Christ are kept saved not by our own strength or doing, we are kept saved graciously and mercifully by the power and grace of God (1 Peter 1:5) (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Reason #16. We as born again believers in Jesus Christ are adopted into the family of God forever and we are seated in Christ with him in heavenly places because of what He Christ Jesus our Savior has done for us on the cross (John 1:12) (John 8:35-36) (Romans 8:29) (Ephesians 2:19-22) (1 Peter 2:4-8) (Galatians 4:1-6) (Ephesians 2:4-10)!
Reason #17. Salvation is a gift of God and salvation is a gift from God. Here’s another revelation revealed unto you: Christ Himself is a gift of God and Christ Himself is also The gift from God.
People of the world you must understand this important biblical truth of the gospel: Salvation is a free gift of God
and it is given to all those who believe in Jesus shedding his blood on the cross for all their sins, believing in the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23).
Salvation is also a gift from God.
This salvation that’s found only in Christ Jesus is a direct gift from God (Acts 4:12). The Bible tells us that Salvation is of The Lord (Jonah 2:9) (Psalm 3:8)
and when one receives salvation it is indeed a gift from God Himself (John 1:12) (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation cannot be earned and since it cannot be earned God freely and graciously gives it to you the sinner as His free gift of love and mercy to you
(Romans 3:24:26) (Romans 4:5). God now says to all those who believe in Jesus His Only Begotten Son He will forgive all their sins and grant them eternal salvation (John 3:14-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 7:50) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38) (Acts 16:30-31) (1 John 5:11-13)!
Yes, to all those who believe in Jesus, God Himself will give that person a free gift they don’t deserve which is everlasting life through Christ Jesus our Lord (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Romans 6:23).
6. Jesus is The Savior and we are not.
I know this sounds very simple but please slowly reread this statement repeatedly because it is truly a huge revelation! Because If you truly understand this revelation of God about Jesus you will stop striving to save yourself and you will rest in Jesus alone knowing your Savior paid the full price for all your sins at the cross
(John 4:42) (1 John 4:14 (John 3:16) (Acts 2:22-24) (Acts 13:26-38) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Matthew 27) (Matthew 28:1-20) (Mark 16:1-20) (Luke 24:1-8, 45-48) (John 20:1-31) (1 Corinthians 15) (Acts 1:1-11) (John 1:29-35) (John 3:16-18) (1 John 1:7) (Acts 10:43) (John 19:30)!
7. It is He (Jesus) that saves us and not we ourselves.
Salvation is of The Lord. So therefore, this means that our salvation is not about keeping laws or doing good deeds.
My salvation is in the very person of Jesus The Savior so once I place my faith in Him Jesus The Savior, He saves me (John 3:14-18) (John 5:24).
8. Jesus is powerful enough to save us by himself without any help or assistance from us whatsoever.
The bible says Jesus purged our sins by himself. This is a powerful revelation by The Holy Spirit of God. In other words,
this means we cannot help Jesus in saving us by doing good works or deeds.
Nor can we add anything to the holy finished work of Jesus Christ on that cross (Hebrews 1:3).
9. Doing Good works, good deeds, and or being a good person has absolutely nothing to do with salvation whatsoever.
These three lies of the devil is what’s preventing people from being saved.
The Bible says we are not saved by our works, good deeds or because we are some so called good person (Romans 4:1-8) (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Titus 3:5).
So therefore, trying to work for your salvation is useless and it’s preventing you from being saved!
The Bible says salvation is graciously and mercifully given to the person that worketh not but simply trusts in The One who justifies the ungodly (Romans 4:5).
This is a major revelation of The Holy Spirit of God. The only people that are saved are those who worketh not! Do you really understand and grasp this truth of the gospel of grace?
For False Prophets and teachers do the exact opposite! False prophets and teachers think they are righteous themselves apart from Christ and thus think they can save themselves.
And this Is the problem. For False prophets and teachers want to boast of their own righteousness before God. So, they think the way to be saved is to work more, be more obedient, do more good deeds, keep more laws etc.
then God will accept me. This is not the gospel of grace this is indeed a false gospel from the very pits of hell! The gospel of grace says to him that worketh not but trust alone in the One who justifies the ungodly his faith will be credited to him as righteousness.
Meaning that person will be saved by God.
10. The Bible tells us Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:6)
The bible also tells us how the ungodly are justified. The bible says the ungodly are justified by their faith (Romans 3:28) (Romans 5:1) (Galatians 2:16) (Galatians 3:24).
The bible teaches us that it is Christ who justifies the sinner who believes in Him. Yes, the Bible is clear that the ungodly are justified by believing in Jesus The Savior (Romans 3:24-28).
11. Either Jesus paid it all at the cross or he didn’t.
Either Jesus paid the price for all my sins at the cross or he truly didn’t pay for my sins at all. This is because If Jesus paid all my sins except for one of them then I will go to hell for that one sin that he didn’t die for.
So what good is that? So, either Jesus is The Savior who saves me completely 100% or He’s not The Savior at all. I cannot be 99% forgiven and 99% saved. I am either 100% completely saved and going to heaven solely based on what Jesus has done for me or I am not saved at all and I’m on my way to hell.
Now do you understand how serious this is. You cannot have it both ways it is one or the other. Either Jesus is The Savior or He’s not. If you believe what the bible says then He is indeed the Savior and if He’s The Savior which He is, then he completely Saves totally and everlastingly.
What good is a Savior that cannot save or one that saves us temporarily? How can a Savior be called a Savior If He doesn’t truly save us? People of the world listen to God! Jesus is indeed The Savior of the whole world who completely saves all those who believe in Him and He secures and saves them everlastingly.
Your salvation can never ever be lost because you’re not saved by works and it can’t be lost because you’re Not The Savior!
12. Jesus paid the price for your sin’s past, present, and future at the cross.
False prophets and teachers do not grasp nor believe this Bible truth. What this all means is this: Since Jesus paid it all there at the cross for us this means they’re no more sins to be paid for! Your sin debt has been fully paid, your sins have been fully buried when Christ Jesus your Savior was buried, you are totally and completely forgiven by a Holy God.
Now the result of your faith in Christ and the result of you being forgiven is this: You now have peace with God forever because of what Christ Jesus The Savior has done for you what he has indeed accomplished for you there at the cross (Romans 5:1) (Colossians 1:20)!
The bible says Jesus fulfilled the whole law (Matthew 5:17) (Romans 10:3-4).
And the bible says Jesus is the end of the law (Romans 10:3-4). He is the end of it!
And the bible tells us that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for all who believe (Romans 10:4-9).
The Spirit of God using The word of God is telling us that The Law has nothing to do with salvation! So, stop trying to save yourself by keeping laws. Do not trust in the law to save you the bible says to trust to believe in Christ alone.
(John 3:14-18) (John 6:40, 47) (John 20:31) (1 John 5:11-13) (Romans 10:3-4) (Galatians 2:21) (Acts 13:38-39).
You must understand that all our righteousness in it of ourselves are as filthy rags. The bible teaches us that no one is righteous in it of ourselves.
The bible teaches us we have no righteousness of our own. Moreover, the bible so plainly teaches us that we cannot save ourselves from our own sinful condition.
The bible teaches us that all humans on earth are born into sin, all human hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked, and all humans on earth are wicked depraved sinners.
Because all these bible truths are indeed true this is why we need The Divine Christ to save us. Yes it is true, the bible teaches us that no one is good, all are sinful, and no one is righteous apart from Christ
(Psalm 51:5) (Jeremiah 17:9) (Isaiah 64:6) (Romans 3:10-31) (Job 4:17) (Ephesians 2:1-3) (Philippians 2:9) (Galatians 2:16, 21) (John 3:3-7) (1 Timothy 1:15).
Many people do not understand this biblical truth and it is this: No one is good enough nor ever can be good enough to make it into heaven based on their own strength, efforts, works, and or good deeds.
The Bible plainly teaches us that no one is good, and no one is righteous apart from Christ. No not one (Romans 3:10, 23) (Ecclesiastes 7:20) (Psalm 51:5)! God saves us totally and completely by His grace and mercy through Christ Jesus His Son.
If it wasn’t for God’s grace and mercy shown to us through Christ, then none of us sinners would ever be saved by God. The glorious truth of the gospel is this: God’s grace is indeed enough to saves us! To say otherwise is heresy.
So If one teaches that a believer in Jesus Christ can lose their salvation what they are actually doing is (A) calling God a liar since God said that all those who believe in Jesus His Son have everlasting life and (B) they are saying God’s grace is not sufficient and powerful enough to save them.
And for anyone to say God’s grace is not enough to save a believer in Christ is heresy!
The bible says If righteousness can come through the law or by our works then Christ died in vain (Galatians 2:21) (Romans 10:3-4) (Acts 13:38-39) (Galatians 3:14-29).
This simply means that If it were possible for you to be saved by the law or by your works why then do, we need Jesus? In other words, we had the law before Jesus came into this world. So, if the law, our works, or good deeds could save us why then did Jesus come into the world to be our Savior and to save sinners?
The Bible says this was Christ mission this was his very purpose. That is to be the sinners Savior. The Bible says it this way: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15).
What you need to understand people of the world is that The Law nor your works can save you because they are not The Savior Jesus is!
Jesus alone has the power to save (Acts 4:12) (Acts 13:38-39) (John 3:16). You must understand this biblical truth about the gospel of grace for it is paramount and will change everything if you truly understand this revelation from The Spirit of God.
This is why the Bible says not by works of righteousness which we have done but by his mercy He saved us (Titus 3:5)
Yes, we are not saved by works of righteousness which we have done we are saved by his mercy. Did you really get and grasp that? In this gospel true grace is revealed from a loving forgiving and merciful God. Again, I say it is He that saves us and not we ourselves.
I so love saying that because it is so true, and it is so freeing! Stop your striving and just believe in the finished work of Christ and you will be saved by God.
You are not saved by God because you kept or obeyed some law or did a lot of good deeds. You see you as a wicked sinner cannot boast of anything let alone your own righteousness before a perfect Holy God.
The only reason why a sinner Is saved is because God is graciously deciding to save sinners by his grace and by his loving forgiving mercy through Christ. And how does God show his grace and loving forgiving mercy to sinners? Look no further than the biblical Jesus.
In Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for us God reveals to us all his love, his grace, and his loving forgiving mercy demonstrated through Christ. And this gospel of grace is for all and to all who believe.
Jesus’ love, his grace, his forgiving mercy is extended unto you and is all for you.
There is a major revelation in scripture, and it is this: The bible says a righteousness apart from the law has been revealed. This righteousness of God that the bible is talking about is the gospel of grace. In other words, through us believing the gospel (that is Jesus’ death, burial, and bodily resurrection)
He declares us righteous! And here’s the part that you need to grasp He declares us righteous apart from the law and apart from all our works (Romans 3:21-22)!
This is why the bible says a righteousness apart from the law has been revealed! This is a major revelation of The Holy Spirit of God!
And the bible says that we are saved completely and totally from start to finish by faith (Romans 1:16-17). Works, laws, or good deeds has absolutely nothing to do with anything regarding one’s salvation.
Here’s another revelation of The Holy Spirit of God: Salvation is not about what you do, salvation is about what Jesus did. In other words, people have it backwards!
Many people are trying to work for their salvation, be a good enough person, and do enough good deeds in so that maybe I might appease God and please him then maybe just maybe he will accept me and forgive me of all my sins.
This is backwards and this is called you working for your salvation. The bible fiercely refutes works-based salvation. You will never be good enough to make it into heaven based on your own strength or efforts.
Now here’s the revelation revealed unto you: Salvation is not about what you can do for God, salvation is about what God has done for you through Christ Jesus His Son at the cross. Salvation is not about you it’s about Christ.
You see you cannot save yourself however Christ can save you! And once you believe in Him (trust in Him) for your salvation He will most surely save you everlastingly and give you his perfect righteousness.
So, what must a sinner do to be saved by God one may ask? The bible is clear, and it is this:
Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved (Acts 16:30-31). The gospel really is that simple. All that is required for a sinner to be saved by God is for them to believe in Jesus’ death, burial, and bodily resurrection.
Again I say, faith in Jesus alone saves (John 3:16-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Acts 4:12) (Acts 16:30-31) (1 John 5:11-13) (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) (Romans 10:9-13).
God says eternal life is in His Son and He gives His Son Jesus to us as a free gift. Salvation is free. You just have to receive Him Jesus by faith, and when you do instantaneously all your sins are forgiven, you become an eternal child of God, and immediately instantaneously eternal life is yours
(1 John 5:11-13) (Romans 6:23) (Ephesians 2:8-9) (John 1:12-13) (John 3:14-18) (John 6:40, 47) (John 20:31) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38) (Acts 16:30-31) (Acts 4:12).
