Free Salvation Offered by Christ Jesus is Limited to Believers Only

June 26, 2022December 2, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

Free salvation offered by Christ. . ..Christ limits His free-salvation offer only to those who believe in His atoning death on the cross. Some think the formula to live eternally is faith in Christ plus church membership, baptism, and other types of moral duty. Concerning good works, the apostle Paul declared that it is the result, and not the cause of salvation. Doing a charitable endeavor, therefore, such as giving money to feed the poor cannot clean and forgive the guilt of a sinful soul. “I am the door,” taught our Lord Jesus, “if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved.” (John 10:9) We are not the “door” to heaven; Christ is!

What is hyper-Calvinism? What are the five points of Calvinism? I WANT TO CLARIFY that I don’t have any intention of trying to add more confusion to the hundreds of years of the Calvinism-Arminianism debate. Tozer once said that there were so many people more intelligent than we are who took part in the centuries-old Calvin-Arminius doctrinal war. All of them ended up siding with either Calvinism or Arminianism.

Salvation Through Faith in Christ

In her lifetime, Gadaria had all the opportunities to know Christ and His offer of free eternal life through faith in His atoning blood. But Gadaria did not seek the face of Christ in a way Mary Magdalene searched and waited for the risen Jesus at His tomb. Gadaria didn’t have the love of the truth; her deception by the devil had strengthened her grip on a false doctrine until her death—a doctrine that the money given to the Church through the priest can buy salvation and eternal life!

What is Being Born of the Spirit of God?

A person who is born of the Spirit, therefore, relies upon Jesus for his eternal life and assurance by sincere faith in our Lord’s finished work on the cross at Calvary.

Forgiveness Through Faith in Jesus Christ

March 15, 2020November 24, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

Forgiveness and Salvation – Everyone who decides for Christ has his sycamore tree of humility. There was an old rich man who asked his born-again servant how to live in heaven forever. Sensing the bourgeois pride of his master, the servant answered, “Sir, since you have neglected the Lord all through your life, you need to kneel amidst your herd of swine for two days.” “No,” retorted the old man, “I can’t do that!” After a year or so, the old man became so ill that he told his servant he was ready to start kneeling. The servant replied, “No need, Sir. What God wants of you is your willingness to push pride away so you can wholeheartedly come in faith unto the Lord.”

Worldview Noise Blocks the Christian Gospel

August 24, 2022November 24, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

The Hindus, the Judaists, even the Catholics, the Seventh Day Adventists, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Mormons—all of them have their own version of worldview noise. Rejecters of Christ as the only Giver of eternal life always have good reasons for their unbelief. How to stop this noise for the gospel to be heard clearly?
