Self-Righteousness is No Righteousness
- To be saved, we must jettison our
"self-righteousness"
which is really no righteousness and place our faith in Jesus
Who provides the righteousness of God. We must reject
religion
-- our own puny efforts to justify ourselves to God --
in favor of
relationship
with God through trusting in His Son.
-
Only Jesus Bridges the Gap between God and Man
- Jesus is the only ladder between God and man. The ultimate revelation of
God made understandable to man is found in the incarnation of Jesus: the
God-man. Conversely, the only sufficient representation we have before
God is standing in the righteousness provided by Christ. We will find no
alternate avenue for salvation
( 1Ti. 2:5 )
.
-
Salvation is Near
- The way of salvation is neither esoteric nor distant. It is not found
in a mountain cave in Tibet, by acts of deprivation, or by
"always learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth"
( 2Ti. 3:6-7 )
.
It is so simple that
even a child can grasp it
( Mark 10:15 )
. It is within our reach if we will but reach out and grasp God's free
gift.
-
Equally Available to All
- All people have equal access to the salvation of God. All that is
required is agreeing with what God has said by placing faith in Jesus
Christ.
"All who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
