Salvation Through Jesus Christ Alone

The most important question for each of us to ask is, “Where do I stand in the sight of God?”

The Bible says that “the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out the retribution to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power”  2nd Thessalonians 1:7-9

On the cross, Jesus suffered the justice and wrath of God on behalf of all those who trust Him as Savior and Lord. On the other hand, those who do not trust Him as Savior and Lord will suffer the judgment of God themselves.

Jesus said, “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him”   John 3:36

There is no middle ground with Jesus.

Jesus said, “He who is not with Me is against Me”   Matthew 12:30

Everlasting life, joy, and peace await for those who stand on the Lord’s side.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time… and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.”   

1st Peter 1:3-5, 8-9

The question remains, Where do you stand in the sight of God? Are you on the Lord’s side, or on your own side? Are you living for God through Jesus, or are you living for yourself? If Jesus returned today, would you experience the everlasting joy of Heaven with Him, or would you suffer the wrath of God?

To follow Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you must repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus alone for salvation. You must believe that He lived, died, and rose again for your salvation. You must commit your life to Him as your living Savior and Lord. When you trust in Jesus, you will receive the forgiveness of your sins and obtain eternal life.

He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.   1st John 5:12-13
