Salvation
John 3:3-7
3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless
a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.
4
Nicodemus sid to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom
of God.
6 What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7
Marvel not [do not be surprised, astonished] at My telling you, You must all be born anew (from above).
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he
is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the
fresh and new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:21
21 For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin,
so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what
we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].
Ephesians 2:1
AND YOU [He made alive], when you were dead (slain) by [your] trespasses
and sins.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3 For such [praying is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable
to God our Savior,
4 Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely
and correctly the [divine] Truth.
1 John 2:1-2
MY LITTLE children, I wite you these things so that you may not violate
God's law and sin, But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father--[it is]
Jesus Christ [the all] righteous [upright, just, Who conforms to the Father's will in every purpose, thought, and action].
2
And He [that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also
for [the sins of] the whole world.
Colossians 2:13
13 And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your
flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven
us all our transgressions.
1 Timothy 4:9-10
9 This saying is reliable and worthy of complete acceptnce by everybody.
10
With a view to this we toil and strive, [yes and] suffer reproach, because we have [fixed our] hope on the living God, Who
is the Savior (Preserver, Maintainer, Deliverer) of all men, especially of those who believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere
to Him).
Romans 5:15
15 But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His
grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man's falling away (his lapse, his offense),
much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ
abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.
Titus 3:4-6
4 But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man
[as man] appeared,
5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity
and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 Which He poured
out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
