113. SALVATION
--page 880--
For God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (Jn.3:16).
1. Everybody needs salvation!--and they need it just as soon as they can get it.
2. Souls are forever!--Saved souls, saved by your Gospel and saved by your loving message of the Love of God and the Salvation of His Son Jesus Christ.
3. They can't abort God's babies, His spiritual babies! Once that seed's sown and taken root and God has ordained it, it's going to bring forth fruit, souls for His Kingdom, new babies for the Lord!
4. In this whole World there's not a more thrilling sight than a saved soul!
5. There is no such thing as equality, except spiritually in salvation.
6. It's more important to save the living than the dead.
7. Even if the child is at the age when he can barely understand the words, he can receive Jesus!
8. When you ask people, "How many of you want to receive Jesus into your heart?", even if they only raise their hands, I believe He comes in right then!
9. This is the end result and greatest goal of soul-wooing, a newborn babe in the Family of God.
10. These are the gifts the Lord is most pleased with: The lives and hearts of men!
11. Jesus alone can save you, but He cannot save you alone.--If you're really saved you're going to take others with you.
12. You can't work for your own salvation, but you can work for the salvation of others!
13. Even the devils believe and tremble--but it doesn't save them, they don't repent!
14. We must work to save all of man, not merely his body and environment! We must work to save him for eternity, not just for this present time!
15. Some are only professors not possessors, believers but not receivers!
16. The salvation of man must be for all if it is for any, and must include everyone if all are to be happy.
17. My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
18. I'd rather scare people into Heaven, than love them into Hell.
19. The Kingdom of God is not just at hand anymore, it has arrived!--And we are it!
20. When we become Christians, we are immediately given full status of citizenship with the Saints.
21. The main thing you need to know is just two verses: John 3:16 and Acts 1:8. The first one gets you saved and the other one gets you busy.
22. Lives again our glorious King;
Where, O Death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, He all doth save;
Where thy victory, O Grave?
23. A Christian is not perfect; he is FORGIVEN.
24. Once a nail is bent it'll never be exactly straight again--like some people! Only the Lord can straighten'm out by remaking them!
25. We're God's straights--the straightest people on Earth! We're not crooked because Jesus has made us straight and good and right!
26. I was so wicked, He had no sin.
I was so helpless, He took me in.
When I was blind, He gave me sight.
I was in darkness, He brought the Light.
27. A black hole can become a shining star through receiving Jesus!
28. I asked for mercy, He gave me grace.
I asked forgiveness, He took my place.
I was a stranger, He welcomed me.
When I was fettered, He set me free.
29. I'm sure the Lord is taking care of His children even before they ever find Him, before they're born. They're still in the womb, in a sense, and they haven't been re-born yet in the spirit, but they're His children just the same and He takes care of them.
30. If you're not saved forever, you're not saved!
31. Every person is on God's most-wanted list.
32. God doesn't create saints out of thin air, He creates them out of flesh-and-blood and Salvation.
33. Salvation sets us as free as Adam and Eve in the Garden before they ever sinned!
34. I believe in Eternal Universal Reconciliation of man, because Jesus said he died that all might be saved, that the whole World might be saved and I believe that's going to happen someday!
35. A works salvation is no salvation at all.
36. The Lamb is in the fold in perfect safety penned;
The Lion once had hold and thought to make an end;
But One came by with wounded side,
And for the sheep the Shepherd died.
37. Vain the stone, the watch the seal!
Christ has burst the gates of Hell;
Death in vain forbids His rise;
For Christ has opened paradise.
38. Jesus had to die in order that we might live.
39. You can know Jesus because He's human enough that you can understand, and His love is the manifestation of the love of God.
40. Everybody who believes in Jesus is a saint! You may not be a perfect saint or a sinless saint, but you're made holy by His blood!
41. The Gospel is the best product on Earth!--Made in Heaven and guaranteed forever!--And free! How could you pass up a product and a deal like that?
42. Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace.
43. Your good works can't save you and your bad works can't damn you!
44. There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin.
He only could unlock the gate
Of Heaven and let us in!
45. Only faith in Jesus can save you, and only rejection of Jesus can damn you!
46. Was ever love so strong?
Was ever crime so wrong?
When Jesus suffered long, For all my sin.
He saw my greatest need,
Became my friend indeed
Through Him I have been freed, From all my sin.
47. If you don't want to believe the truth, God will let you have a lie. If you turn down the lifesaver, He'll toss you a sinker!
48. O Holy child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray;
Cast out our sins, and enter in
Be born in us today!
49. Heaven is full of sinners!--Saved by grace though faith! Hell is full of the self-righteous religionists!--Damned by unbelief in Christ!
50. Jesus was cursed and hung on a tree,
He was made like the sin He took from me!
51. If you're born twice, you'll only die once!--But if you're only born once you'll die twice!
52. True salvation is just pure faith, it's just believing, and if you get any feeling, it's a result of believing.
53. If you don't believe in Jesus suffering for your sins, then you have to suffer for your own sins.
54. Jesus gives you peace of mind, purity of heart, rest of soul and happiness of spirit now and forever!--Try Him! You'll love Him!
55. The only requirement for membership in the Family of God is salvation.
56. Salvation is grace plus faith plus nothing!--A pure gift!
57. You cannot save the World by destroying evil men, because all men are evil, including you! We can only save the World by letting God destroy the evil in our own hearts.
58. Jesus had to die for all so some could be saved!
59. Salvation from sin brings freedom and openness, with no longer any need to hide!
60. Salvation is so costly that none of us could afford to pay for it! Jesus alone could buy it for us with the price of His Own life.
61. There's a big difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Jesus!
62. God doesn't save those who think they can save themselves, but only those sinners who know they can't!
63. The Devil can't get you back once you're saved-- you're the Lord's forever!
64. The Lord has to break the chains. You can't deliver yourself. He has to purge and purify and cleanse.
65. Don't try to figure Him out.--Just let Him in!
66. Salvation is a gift of God performed by a miraculous transformation of your life when you accept His truth in the love of His Son Jesus by the work of God's Spirit.
67. All you have to do is receive Him, and His Spirit in you will then cause you to do the humanly impossible: Love God and man!
68. The only salvation is in Christ, the only peace is in the Prince of Peace, and the only truth in the Word of God!
69. Jesus saves, and He can save the impossible.
70. Jesus is the whole Christ for the whole man--body, soul and spirit! He meets every need, physical and spiritual.
71. People commit spiritual suicide every time they reject Jesus Christ as their Messiah!
72. The Charmer is Jesus! Only He can break the Serpent's power in your life and woo you into His rest! Only He can play the music of love and forgiveness that will bring peace to your mind and heart.
73. If God can't love you into Heaven, He'll try to scare you out of Hell!
74. God has created a vacuum within you that can only be filled with His Love!
75. God is not so angry at the sinner for breaking the rules, since He knows the sinner is a sinner and can't keep the rules, but for rejecting the free gift of God's love and salvation.
76. Although the body is of this Earth and satisfied with the things of this Earth, the human spirit, the real you that dwells in that body, can never be completely satisfied with anything but utter union with the great and loving Spirit that created it.
77. Once you believe, God proves Himself in many ways, by answers to prayer and miracles, even the changes in yours and others lives.
78. You can put God in a test-tube and prove He exists, and you're the tube, Boob! Put God in you and see what happens!
79. You've got to be saved to believe the Book of Genesis, but you're not going to get saved reading it. John is the Gospel of salvation!
80. If you want to be happy for two hours, get drunk! If you want to be happy for two weeks, get married! But if you want to be happy forever, get saved!
81. God is both a God of love and a God of justice! When people refuse His love, they get His justice, and with His justice comes judgment.
82. We don't preach the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of Man, because not all men are of the Father God--He's only the Father of those who love Him and receive His Son Jesus!
83. It is not until you recognize you're a sinner that you're desperate enough to seek salvation.
84. You can get personal with Jesus because He's even told you to ask Him into your heart!
85. Fall in love with Jesus and marry Him forever!
86. Jesus' death brings life, forgiveness and eternal joy to those who love Him in return.
87. The worst person can got to Heaven by faith, and the best person can go to Hell because of unbelief!
88. Communism cannot meet even these most basic of all human needs, these desires for the life, love, liberty and happiness which God alone can give!
89. Marx is dead, Lenin is dead, Stalin is dead, and Khrushchev is dead, and you will be dead if you don't find God! Jesus is The only One who ever rose from the dead and can give you power to do the same! Communism may satisfy your body but it will never satisfy your soul!
90. The life is not in the sower, but in the seed. Even if an infidel scattered the Scriptures, he would only be exploding his own battlements.
91. Receiving Jesus into your life not only renews, purifies and regenerates your own spirit, but also your mind, literally breaking the old connections and gradually rebuilding it into a whole new system with and utterly different outlook and reactions.
92. Why should you be lone and blue
When Jesus' love you can have too?
Don't think it out--just let Him in
For you new life He will begin.
93. Salvation is simple! All you have to do is receive Jesus, God's Son, as your Savior By asking Him into your Heart!
94. If the Lord had wanted robots, He could have made everybody love Him, but He made people with free choice and free will to choose to love Him.
95. Only the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb can cleanse and purify your spiritual bloodstream from the venom of the Devil and his sin and save you from spiritual paralysis and even death.
96. That's the way Jesus does with you: He takes you dirty as you are with sin, and He washes you with His blood and the water of His Word. He washes away your sins with His blood and your evil thoughts with His Word, and He gets you all nice and clean and sets you aside for His use.
97. You can only plead for the blood of Jesus to cover you for your protection and to cleanse you from your sins and the Devil's lies and poisonous influence.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I way unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel no that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither is goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
105. JOH.3:16,17 For God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the World to condemn the World; but that the World through Him might be saved.

109. JOH.6:37 All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.

111. JOH.10:28,29 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

122. ROM.10:9,10 If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.
123. ROM.10:13 Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

134. HEB.7:25 Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.
135. HEB.10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
136. 1PE.1:2a Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.
137. 1PE.1:18,19 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.
138. 1PE.1:23,25a Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. The Word of the Lord endureth for ever.

140. 2PE.3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
141. 1JO.2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.
142. 1JO.5:5,6a Who is he that overcometh the World, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
143. 1JO.5:11-13 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the Name of the Son of God; that ye may have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the Name of the Son of God.
144. REV.3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
