Salvation Promise John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life: Today's message is taking a look at the promises God made in return for all who believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. The question now becomes, what are the promises God made? They are: (a) all who believe and accept His Son as Lord and Savior shall not perish. To perish mean that we will die a spiritual death after this earthly life is over; therefore, we will spend eternity separate from God our creator and sustainer. (b) The promise of everlasting life means that all believers will live forever after this earthly life is over. Living an everlasting life is in the presence of God. These promises are based on all believers accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and that He is the Son of God who was given as the sin offering paying man's sin-debt. To believe in Jesus is a manifestation of one's conviction that Jesus being God's Son is the Savior for lost humanity. Believing is also the full assurance that Jesus Christ will bring all believers into final stage of salvation and a restored fellowship with God the Father as Jesus is the doorway to the Father. Lastly, our belief in Jesus is surrendering all to Jesus while remaining in obedience to Him. God's promises are guaranteed and they will come to pass; therefore, take God at His Word.
