All Have Sinned!



‘All Have Sinned.’
a)  Ecclesiastes 7:20. There is not a righteous man on the Earth who does only good and never sins.
b)  Isaiah 53:6. We are all like sheep who have gone astray and Jesus was punished for our iniquities.
c)  Romans 3:23. All people have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
(Through this QT I am convinced that All Have Sinned and need Salvation by Grace through Faith)

‘Salvation Explained.’
Ephesians 2:8-9.
a)  It is by free Grace, God’s unmerited favour, that we are Saved.
b)  To be Saved means that we are delivered from Judgment and we become partakers of Christ’s Gift of Salvation.
c)  This is all possible through Faith.
d)  This Salvation is not:-
1- Of ourselves.
2- Of our own doing.
3- Of our own striving.
4- Because of works.
5- The fulfilment of the Law’s demands.
6- The result of what anyone can possibly do.
e)  This Salvation is the Gift of God.
f)  No person can:-
1- Boast of earning their Salvation.
2- Pride him or herself in Salvation.
3- Take Glory to him or herself for their Salvation.
(Through this Second one I understand more about God’s Greatest Gift: Salvation explained)
