A Journey Through Faith  

Background

Seeking salvation from God should be a priority for people because sin has created a gulf between people and Him.  The only way to bridge that gulf is through the blood of Jesus Christ.  People receive salvation by accepting the gift of Jesus Christ and acknowledging that He is the Son of God.

Scriptures

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.  For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. –  Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 6:23 (NKJV)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. — John 3:16-17 (NKJV)

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”  –  John 3:36 (NKJV)

But God demonstrates HIs own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. — Romans 5:8 (NKJV)

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; It is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. —  Ephesians 2: 8-10 (NKJV)

…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon HIm.  For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”– Romans 10:9-13 (NKJV)

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light [Jesus], that all through him might believe.  He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.  –  John 1:6-9 (NKJV)

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. — John 1:12-13 (NKJV)

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe.  The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.  But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.  I and My Father are one.”  —  John 10:25-30 (NKJV)

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. --- Hebrews 4:14-16 (NKJV)

Salvation Prayer

Father I thank you for the precious gift of Jesus Christ.  I thank you Dear God that he came, died and was raised again just for me.  I thank you that his blood washes me and cleanses me from all sin, shame, guilt and error.  I receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior and I turn away from every wicked way.  I bodly take my rightful place in the Kingdom of God and the Body of Christ.   I thank you for it in the mighty name of Jesus.  Amen.
