It is interesting, friends, to see what some
folks think salvation is, because how they interpret
salvation speaks volumes on where they will spend
eternity.
Some folks think salvation is baptismal.
Some folks think salvation is decisional.
Some folks think salvation is through good works.
Some folks think salvation is church membership.
Some folks think salvation is in repeating a
prayer.
Some folks think salvation is walking an aisle.
Some folks think salvation is doing what the
preacher says to do.
But salvation is found only in Christ Jesus.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth,
and the life.
No man cometh unto the Father but by
me.
Here, Jesus answers the three greatest questions of
the human heart.
How can I be saved?
Jesus said, I am the way.
How can I be sure?
Jesus said, I am the truth.
How can I be satisfied?
Jesus said, I am the life.
And in John 6, 35, Jesus declared, I
am the bread of life.
He that cometh to me shall never hunger,
and he that believeth on me shall never
thirst.
The gospel, friend, is for the hungry, the
weary, and the thirsty.
Let me ask you, friend, are you hungry
for God?
Are you weary of your sins?
Are you thirsty for Christ?
Christ is the bread of life.
He invites poor sinners to come to him
and believe on him.
The duty required is to come to Christ.
And he has a pure gospel promise to
all who come.
In him that cometh to me, I will
in no wise cast out.
Come to Christ, friend, through repentance and faith,
and get your sins washed in his blood.
Jesus is the only remedy and refuge for
sin.
But you must get to him and own
him as your Lord and Savior.
Let us pray.
