Salvation — Quovadisworld

CHRIST HAS SET US FREE HOLD FAST YOUR FREEDOM

I wish that those who are troubling you [by teaching that circumcision is necessary for salvation] would even [go all the way and] castrate themselves!

THE LAW AND THE PROMISE THE LAW LEADS TO CHRIST

Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a system of law had been given which could impart life, then righteousness (right standing with God) would actually have been based on law.

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

Now it is clear that no one is justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing] before God by the Law, for “THE RIGHTEOUS (the just, the upright) SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

FINAL WARNINGS TO ALL PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES

Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers.

MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

CHRIST THE WISDOM AND POWER OF GOD

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

THE CRISTIAN AS A MAN DEVOTING SELF AND USING GIFTS

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION TO ALL

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

JEWS REJECT, GENTILES ACCEPT, THE GOSPEL.
