Five scriptures that clearly teach the Death of Christ saves !

[Brightfame52]

One thing i find to be prominent in the religious world, and that's them who dare to utter the blasphemous words:

The death of Christ doesn't save anyone. or The death of Christ doesnt save anyone but His life does, referring to Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.


Now I ask where in this verse does it say "the death of Christ doesnt save anyone" ? It doest ! Yes it says "we shall be saved by His Life" but who is that referring to ? Believers, the already saved, they shall be saved in the future. Salvation is in three tenses scripturally speaking, past, present and future. The we here in the phrase" we shall be saved by his life"are not lost people.

In fact they are saved, justified and reconciled people who Christ died for.. And this in fact will be scripture #1 that proves without a shadow of doubt, that Christ's Death alone saved them He died for.

Now how do we know this ? Simple, Paul says that Believers were reconciled to God while being enemies or unbelievers. Now to be reconciled to God is Salvation, at least an aspect of it, its to be saved from the penalty of sin, and to be put into a right relationship with God, to be received into His Favour. The word reconciled here is the greek word katallassō and means:

to change, exchange, as coins for others of equivalent value

1. to reconcile (those who are at variance)return to favour with, be reconciled to oneto receive one into favour
   
   Now those in the Favour of God are not lost, not by a long shot, they are saved from the Wrath of God and the Penalty of Sin. Paul writes to the Thessalonians 1 Thess 1:10
   
   And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
   
   His being rasied from the dead certifys that His death delivered them from the wrath to come.
   
   So when men say that the death of Christ never saved anyone, beware, thats a false teacher ! They have not been sent of God to bear the testimony of the Gospel !

A person receives God's free gift of Eternal life salvation when they believe in Jesus, that is the person Jesus.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

His death pays for our sins. His life leads us through godly lives that cause works and words we will be judged for. Christs word and works will cause the acceptance of ourselves into heaven or the New Jerusalem. Referring to Rom 5:10. It’s no longer belief after getting saved but living Christ's life.

Now scripture #2 that teaches the Death of Christ alone saves them He died for, the first being Rom 5:10 is Heb 10:14

14 For by one offering[His Death] he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Folks being perfected forever is Salvation, its being saved ! And How ? By One Offering which is His Death ! He hath perfected forever them which are sanctified or being sanctified, passive voice. They are being Sanctified because they have been made Perfect- Perfect tense by the death of Christ !
The word perfect is the greek word teleioō and means:

1. to make perfect, complete
   1. to carry through completely, to accomplish, finish, bring to an end
   to complete (perfect)
2. 1. add what is yet wanting in order to render a thing fullto be found perfect
   to bring to the end (goal) proposedto accomplish
   1. bring to a close or fulfilment by event
3. 1. 1. of the prophecies of the scriptures

Now that greek word comes from teleios which Jesus uses here with the young ruler Matt 19:21

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.


And that being perfect ensures eternal treasures in heaven ! Now who wants to debate that's not Salvation for being Perfect. The thing is, Christ required the young ruler to do something to acquire being perfect, whereas scripture in Heb 10:14 reveals that Christ's Death/Offering makes them He died for Perfected forever, thats Salvation ensured by Gods own word !

So do you believe if Christs Death paid the penalty for ones sins, that makes them saved, perfected forever ?

Is a person saved by Christs death for them before they believe ?

Is a person saved before they believe, no. Jesus' death took away all sin for everyone, but that does not save, only belief in Jesus saves.

What Jesus accomplished, "death and resurrection" should point a person to say hey Jesus is who He says He is. So then they may believe in Jesus for life.

 

[Unqualified]

Belief in Jesus opens the door to God and forgiveness.

So do you believe if Christs Death paid the penalty for ones sins, that makes them saved, perfected forever ?

i do. I was just agreeing with you. But mostly the riches you are speaking of are unrealized until death. We are being sanctified day by day. And remember many are called but few are chosen. So that everyone that says lord, lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. Like what are we doing beyond believing. Being sanctified and obeying His commands.

Thats false doctrine, belief is something man the person does, so you attribute what man does as that what saves, and not what Christ did for the person.

This is confusing, care to explain ?

Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

#3. A scripture that teaches the life and death of Christ alone saved them He lived and died for ! Rom 5:19

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

The Obedience of Christ here is comprised of His Life of Law Keeping Obedience unto the Death of the Cross as stated here Phil 2:8

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

And the result of that Obedience is many SHALL BE MADE RIGHTEOUS ! Thats Salvation, to be made Righteous is to be saved. The Righteous shall shine in the Kingdom of their Father Matt 13:43

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

How come they to be made Righteous ? By the Obedience of One Rom 5:19 , even the death of the Cross, by which also they were perfected forever Heb 10:14


No matter how you slice it, their obedience had nothing to do with being made righteous, because that would overthrow the clear declaration of Rom 5:19 that it was by the Obedience of One that the many were made Righteous, saved !

I suggest you follow God's condition, God has given people to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life salvation.
God has designated a specific book of The Bible, that tells what a person must do, to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life salvation.

The only book of The Bible written to tell people how to have life (eternal life) is The Gospel of John and what does The Gospel of John say, the book states many times, to believe in Jesus.

And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Rom 5:19 says many’ not all.

Jesus knew there would be people like you. Who believe salvation is in verses they can post or combine together, that is why this verse is in The Bible.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
