Things That Save God (Deut. 20:1-4) Grace (Titus 2:11; Rom. 6:23)

Presentation transcript:

Ephesians 2:8-9 Does this passage say everything about salvation, or is there more?

The Grace of God Grace – unmerited favor. Even though we don’t deserve it, God has bestowed His favor (ultimately salvation) on us.

The Grace of God John 3:16 - He gave His only begotten Son His revealed will – Rom. 1:16 Prayer Delayed return – 2 Pet. 3:9

The Grace of God In essence, God has done that which we cannot do! Ephesians 2:1-10, is about grace ( see vs. 4-5 )

The Faith of Man If all there were to salvation is the grace of God, ALL would be saved (universalism) But all or NOT saved - Rom. 3:23, 6:23, Rev. 21:8, Matt. 25:46, 7:21-23, Mark 16:16

The Faith of Man Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved THROUGH FAITH, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

The Faith of Man What type of faith do we need? Is it merely believing in Jesus (faith only) or does it involve more (doing something BY FAITH)?

The Faith of Man Faith is MORE than mental assent: Negatively – Matt. 7:21-23 James 2:19, 24 2 Thess. 1:8 – do not obey the gospel

The Faith of Man Faith is MORE than mental assent: Positively – Heb. 11:4, 7, 8, 17, 27, etc. Heb. 5:8-9 – salvation to all who obey Him

The Faith of Man Faith is MORE than mental assent: Acts 6:7 – obedient to the faith Rom. 16:26 Rom. 6:16 FAITH INCLUDES OBEDIENCE

The Faith of Man What must I do to be saved? Romans 10:9-10 – believe and confess Mark 16:16 – Believe and be baptized Acts 2:38 – Repent and be baptized Which text must we follow?

The Faith of Man What must I do to be saved? CAN we pick one and ignore the others? Is there a way that includes all these texts? Yes! COMBINE what they teach! Belief + Repentance + Confession + Baptism = Salvation

The Faith of Man What must I do to be saved? Acts 16:30-34 – the Jailer “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” ( 31 ) “THEN they spoke the word of the Lord to Him” ( 32 ) Immediately he… was baptized ( 33 )

The Faith of Man What must I do to be saved? Acts 8:26-38 – the Eunuch “He preached Jesus to Him” ( 35 ) “See here is water, what hinders me from being baptized?” ( 36 )

Baptism and faith What must I do to be saved? Acts 22:16, Wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord Acts 8:12-13, when they believed…both men and women were baptized

Baptism and faith What must I do to be saved? Matt. 28: Pet. 3:20-21, “there is also an antitype which now saves us – baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God)…”

Baptism and faith What must I do to be saved? Galatians 3:27 – baptized into Christ have put on Christ Romans 6:3-4, “buried with Him through baptism into death…” Without faith, baptism is meaningless!

What about faith only passages? Eph. 2:9, “not of works lest anyone should boast.” Does this nullify our need to do something in obedience? No!

What about faith only passages? Eph. 2:8-9, Again, the context is grace! Paul’s point is we cannot EARN our salvation! Even when you obey God you have not earned salvation (it is still His grace)

What about faith only passages? What about passages that only mention belief? John 3:16, 8:24, Acts 4:4, 9:42, etc. They do NOT nullify baptism. The term “believe” is inclusive of all one must do.

What about faith only passages? What if every text dealing with salvation had to mention every step every time? The Bible would be much longer and redundant. And it wouldn’t say anymore than it does right now!

What about faith only passages? IF believe means, “only believe” or “faith only”, then what about all the other passages in scripture that mention MORE than mere belief? IF believe or faith can be inclusive, then scripture complements itself!

Conclusion: Consider Acts 19:1-5

Have you obeyed the gospel?
