There are many people who will say, for whatever reason, that faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not enough to obtain the eternal free gift of salvation. Jesus Christ purchased this free gift with His blood on the cross of Calvary. Below are verses that clearly teach that salvation is received through faith alone. So we can say that salvation: is offered by grace (as a free gift), and received through faith (as the means), in the object of Jesus Christ (who He is, the Christ), because of The Gospel (what He did).
If anyone falsely says, well but…
- You must do good works to obtain salvation.
- You must be willing to stop sinning to be saved.
- You must do good works after salvation.
- You must do good works to keep salvation.
- You must feel sorry and beg with contrition for salvation.
- You must promise something for salvation.
- Your must exchange something for your salvation.
- You must follow Jesus to be saved.
- You must count the cost and pay the price of full surrender to be saved.
