Jesus paid for our sins with His precious blood. 1st Corinthians 6:20, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” That price for our redemption is the blood of Jesus!!! Pastor John MacArthur heretically teaches that Jesus did not have God's blood flowing in Him. I am shocked that any preacher could be so naive and corrupted in his theology. Jesus was born of a virgin. Since the Lord did not have an earthly father, He absolutely had to have God's blood in Him. Acts 20:28 speaks of “the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” The Church was purchased with God's blood. Jesus had God's blood flowing in His veins!
Jesus paid it all! When a wayward Bible professor or preacher tells you that you must “be willing to turn from your sins” to be saved, he is preaching another gospel. JESUS PAID IT ALL!!! If I bought you a birthday present, and insisted it is still free while requiring you to wash my car next Saturday to get it, you'd be confused. You'd wonder what was wrong with me! I am wondering what is wrong with all these Lordship Salvation preachers today! They speak of salvation “by grace alone,” while requiring people to make an effort to turn away from lifelong sinful bad habits to receive the free gift of God. Clearly, salvation cannot be by both grace and human effort (works). Case in point, read what Bob Jones University teaches on their website. Something is very wrong with that picture folks!
I heard one corrupt preacher refuting Lordship Salvation, but he still insisted that you must “turn from your sins” (which they errantly think means repentance) to be saved. He is utterly confused and corrupted, preaching another gospel. Repentance is a change of mind, not a change of lifestyle. We repent TO believe, not repent AND believe! Turning from sins is human reformation. You don't have to turn from sins to be saved, because that is another gospel. We get saved by trusting what Jesus Christ has already DONE on the cross to pay for our sins, and not by repenting, but repentance facilitates believing. No one has ever been saved who didn't repent, but repentance is simply the acknowledgment that you are a needy sinner in God's sight (Romans 3:19-20).
You need a Savior, to escape God's wrath in an eternal burning Hell (Romans 5:9; John 3:36; Revelation 20:15; Psalms 9:17; 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9). If you miss Heaven, there is nowhere else to go except the Lake of Fire. No one ever goes to Hell except those who choose to go there, by rejecting God's free gift of forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ. All you need to do is BELIEVE the 'Good News' that Christ died for your sins on the cross, was buried, and three days later resurrected from the dead (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). If that is your only hope for Heaven, then you are saved my friend. Nothing else is required from you.
Jesus paid it all, so you wouldn't have, to by burning in the fires of Hell forever and ever. Hell is a literal place of torment (Revelation 14:11). Hell is a place of misery (Luke 16:19-31). God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell. The Lord made a way of escape, but you have to choose to receive it! Faith in Jesus Christ is the way of escape! Please run away from anyone who stands behind a pulpit, demanding that you surrender, sacrifice and pay the price to be saved. Eternal life is a free gift, because Jesus paid for it with His blood. God wants to save you so much that He died for your sins on the cross! The penalty has already been paid in full. All you need to do is accept that payment by faith, taking God at His Word as recorded in the Holy Scripture. It is that easy, free and simple to obtain eternal life.
“Everything that's hard and complicated about salvation is God's side of it!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”
