When your saved your saved by...
We’re saved by.........
Our faith in Christ Jesus The Holy Son of God who is the sinners Savior.
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).
We’re saved by.........
The Blood of Jesus, that is His shed blood that was shed for us at the cross.
We’re saved by.........
Jesus’ sacrifice. Yes, we’re also saved by Jesus’ substitutionary atoning death on the cross for us.
So, we are saved by our faith in Christ, the shed blood of Christ, and his atoning death on the cross for us.
The bible is clear that we are saved and redeemed by the real literal shed blood of Christ. Not only does the Bible so clearly teach that we are redeemed by the real literal precious shed blood of Christ we are also redeemed by his atoning death on the cross for us. In other words, you cannot have one without the other and this is because in salvation both Jesus’ precious shed blood and his death on the cross for us was essential for our eternal redemption by a Holy God. Both are needed, both are distinct one from another, and both are essential for our eternal salvation. You cannot separate the blood of Christ from his atoning death on the cross for us for they both work together hand in hand in our eternal redemption. In other words, you cannot say we are saved by Jesus’ death but not by his blood. And in the same way you cannot say we are saved by Jesus’ blood and not his death. Both Jesus’ blood and his death are distinct one from another and both are essential to secure the sinners eternal salvation forever. Anyone telling you that we are not saved by the real literal precious shed blood of Christ is lying to you and is teaching you blasphemous heresies not found in scripture. If Jesus just died on the cross but He did not shed his blood, there would be no forgiveness for our sins. Why is this one may ask? This is because the bible teaches us that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for our sins. In other words, people of the world the shedding of Jesus’ blood on the cross for us was essential for our forgiveness of sins and for our salvation by a Holy God. Read (Hebrews 9:22) (Leviticus 17:11).
The bible is clear that we are justified freely by God’s grace through faith in Christ Jesus His Son.
The bible also teaches us that we are saved by the blood of Christ.
The bible also teaches us that we are saved by the atoning death of Christ on the cross for us.
All these 3 bible truths are tied together in our eternal salvation. Scriptures to prove all these bible truths here below. Read (Ephesians 1: 7) (Ephesians 2:13) (Romans 3:24-26) (Romans 5:9) (1 Peter 1:18-19) (1 John 1:7) (1 John 2:1-2 ) (1 John 4:9-10) (Hebrews 9:12, 14, 22) (Colossians 1:14, 20-22) (Revelation 1:5) (Revelation 7:14) (Revelation 12:11) (Acts 20:28) (Hebrews 10:19) (Hebrews 13:12) (Matthew 26:28) (Leviticus 17:11) (Luke 22:20).
Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 2:13 (KJV)
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Romans 3:24-26 (KJV)
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 5:9 (KJV)
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV)
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Hebrews 9:22 (NLT)
In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
Leviticus 17:11 (KJV)
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Colossians 1:14, 20-22 (KJV)
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Acts 20:28 (NLT)
“So, guard yourselves and God’s people. Feed and shepherd God’s flock—,his church, purchased with his own blood—over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders.
Revelation 1:5 (NLT)
and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.
Revelation 12:11 (NLT)
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
We’re saved by.........
God’s grace which is revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ through the gospel.
The grace of God is so amazing, and it is indeed powerful! The bible says God’s grace is sufficient. The bible says we are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves; it is a gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9).
This simply means we are not saved by our works or good deeds therefore we cannot boast of anything to God regarding our salvation. He did not save us because of our good deeds He saved us simply by his grace. And since the bible says we are saved (past tense) by grace that means it’s a done deal as far as God is concerned.
We are not hoping to be saved by God’s grace. The bible teaches that when we believe in Jesus as Savior at that very moment, instantaneously and everlastingly He God saves us graciously by His grace when we believe. Again, I say His grace is indeed enough to save and eternally secure all those who trust in His Son Jesus (Romans 3:21-28).
Ephesians 2:4-9 (KJV)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
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:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
We’re saved by.........
God’s mercy which is revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ through the gospel.
The bible teaches us 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 sinners. Because all these bible truths are indeed true this is why we need The Divine Christ to save us (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).
You are not saved because you deserve it or because you’re a so-called good person. You are graciously saved only by Gods mercy. And God’s mercy is revealed to you in the person of Christ Jesus our Savior. It is by God’s grace and mercy anyone is saved. No one could be saved apart from God’s grace and mercy.
This is why the bible says not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us. This simply means we are not saved by our works or good deeds we are saved by God’s mercy demonstrated for us in Christ Jesus.
Titus 3:4-7 (KJV)
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
We’re saved by.........
The Holy Trinity of God
All three persons in The Holy Trinity make up The One True God. You cannot have one without the other. The bible says God The Father Sent His Son into the world to be our Savior (John 3:16) (John 5:23-24, 30, 37) (John 6:38-40) (1 John 4:9-10, 14) (1 John 5:11-13),
God The Son redeems and saves all those who believe in Him (1 Timothy 1:15) (John 3:14-18) (John 6:40, 47) (John 7:50) (John 20:31),
God The Holy Spirit reveals Christ Jesus our Savior through the word of God and He seals all those who believe in Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14) (Ephesians 4:30) (John 16) (1 Corinthians 2:10-14) (2 Timothy 3:14-17).
All three persons in The Trinity were involved and at work in your soul’s salvation that is in bringing you to Christ. No one is saved apart from the intervening work of The Holy Trinity of God. They all work together perfectly, powerfully, lovingly, and harmoniously in bringing you to salvation.
We’re saved by.........
Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We’re saved by the gospel of grace.The gospel of grace is Gods message, it is Gods Good News of how he saves and justifies sinful men thus granting them eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus His Son.
The gospel is that Jesus shed his blood on the cross for us. Jesus literally, voluntarily, and physically died on the cross for our sins, He was literally and physically buried, and He literally, physically, and bodily arose from the grave three days later (1 Peter 3:18) (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).
When we believe in this gospel of Jesus Christ we are saved by the grace of God when we place our faith in Christ, and we are saved apart from all works. Salvation in Christ is a free gift given by God unto to all men. Salvation is not by works nor can it ever be earned. We are not saved by God by what we do, we are saved by God by what Christ already did on that cross at Calvary. To be saved we must believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Finished means we cannot add anything to his perfect sacrifice for us on that cross. If we try to add anything to his finished work that is us saying that Jesus is not sufficient and powerful enough to save us by Himself. If we try to add anything to his finished work that is perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Romans 6:23) (Romans 4:5) (Titus 3:5) (Galatians 2:16, 21) (Romans 10:3-4) (Acts 13:38-39) (John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40, 47) (Acts 16:30-31) (Romans 3:25-26).
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 3:14-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Acts 16:30-31) (1 John 5:11-13).
Salvation is not of man salvation is of The Lord (Jonah 2:9) (Psalm 3:8) (Psalm 62:1).
