"What Must I Do To Be Saved?"

ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE

 Part 3

Indeed, "the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men."  So what's the "our part?"  Is there an "our part?"  I've heard it said, "Jesus plus nothing."  Is that true?  What does the Bible say? 

Well, the Bible clearly defines an "our part."  God declared throught the apostle Paul in Acts 17:30:

"God is now declaring to all men that

all people everywhere should repent."

The "our part" is to REPENT!

What must we do to be saved?  REPENT!

Isaiah:  "In repentance and rest you shall be saved" (Isaiah 30:15).

Jeremiah:  "Return (repent) O' faithless sons...Return (repent) O' faithless sons..Return (repent) O' faithless sons..(Jeremiah 3:10, 12, 22).

Ezekeil:  "For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies, declares the Lord God.  Therefore, repent and live" (Ezekiel 18:32; see also, verses 20-31).

John the Baptist:  "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand" (Matthew 3:2).

Jesus:  "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand" (Matthew 4:17).

Peter:  "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).

Paul:  "God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent...That they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance" (Acts 17:30; 26:20).

The 12 Apostles:  "They went out and preached that men should repent" (Mark 6:12).

Jesus to the churches of churches of Revelation: 

"Repent...Repent...Repent...Repent...

Repent...Repent...Repent...Repent..."

-see Revelation 2 & 3

The angels:  "There will be more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents...There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:7, 10).

"Repentance:  The only hope for the American church."
