...Do you Have It?
Salvation: The Qualifications
A long time ago a man asked the question, “What must I do to be
Saved?” (Acts_16:30). First of all, God Saves the following kind of people:
“sinners” (Rom. 3:23), “ungodly” (Rom. 4:5), those “without strength”
(Rom. 5:6), His “enemies” (Rom. 5:10).
If you do not think that you are any of the above, you cannot Be Saved.
If you still think you’re good enough, you cannot be saved. God Does Not
Save good people, or people trying to earn their way to heaven. You must
come to God God’s Way.
Salvation: The Basis
God Saves sinners on His Basis:
1). Freely. It does not cost the sinner anything. It Is Free. You can’t
earn salvation by being good, and you cannot lose salvation by being
bad. God does not require any works from a sinner. Good works do not
make it easier, and bad works do not make it harder to get Saved.
It is FREE, FREE, FREE! God Justifies the sinner Freely. Justification Is
The Act Whereby God Declares a person righteous, even though that
person in himself is not righteous.
2). By His Grace. That means that It Comes From The Heart Of God
without finding anything in the recipient that would draw out His Grace.
Grace Is All That God Is Free To Do for the undeserving sinner Because
Christ Paid for our sins on The Cross.
If we have to work for our salvation, then Salvation is not “By His Grace.”
If we can earn it, why did He Die?
3). Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus. Salvation is
Free to the sinner, but It Cost God Everything! Free is not cheap. As a
matter of fact, Salvation is the Most Expensive Thing that has Ever Been
Paid. The Cost of Salvation Was That Almighty God Had To Become a Man
and Die in the sinner’s place.
The Cost Was Infinite! Webster defines “Redemption” as follows: “The act
of procuring the deliverance of persons or things from the possession and
power of captors by the payment of an equivalent.” Sin against An Infinite
God Requires An Infinite Payment.
[Precious friend, can you 'Do What God Requires' here?]
No man or church or works of any kind can pay This Debt. The Debt Has
Been FULLY Paid For By the LORD Jesus Christ. It would be the highest insult
to offer to God your good works or religion in view of the Biblical Fact that
His Own SON Suffered On The Cross To Pay For your sins.
So to answer the question, “What must I do to be Saved?” Stop making
excuses, and place yourself in the “Qualifications” category, and Receive
the Gift of Salvation God Has Provided.
Are Saved...Christ Died for our sins...was buried,
and...Rose again the third day” (I Cor. 15:1-4)

One last impassioned (IF 'no tomorrow') Plea?:
Precious lost friends, the Saved are praying for you! Why
have you not yet gotten Serious With God, and told Him:
1) "I Cannot EVER make an Infinite Payment for my sin," and,
2) "Thank You Very Much For The BLOOD Of Your Precious
SON, Who DID Make This Infinite Payment for my sin"?
Are you still yet 'making excuses'?:
3) Further study: Christ And Him Crucified
GRACE And Peace...
