  1. 2 Timothy 2:15 2 Salvation

  2. A Study of RULESand PRINCIPLESthat forms the basis of FAITH, BELIEF, or POLICYbased on the SCRIPTURE.

  3. OBJECTIVES • To Deliver the right kind of faith. • To Break down false doctrine. • To Stand up for what is right.

  4. Statement of Faith . . . Salvation Deliverance from all sin and unrighteousness through the blood of Jesus Christ. It consists of repentance from sin, water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, after which the Christian is to live a Godly life(Acts 2:36-41).

  5. Believing plus Obedience(works) Compared to Salvation by Faith Only (Alone)

  6. 1.Faith Is Essential To Salvation. A. Many Passages Teach We Are Saved by Faith. • John 3:16 -Whoever believes on Jesus should have eternal life. • Romans 1:16 - The gospel is God's power to save all who believe. • Romans 5:1,2 -By faith we are justified and have access to grace. • Ephesians 2:8 - By graceare you saved through faith. • (See also Acts 16:31; 10:43; 15:9; 13:39; John 8:24; 3:36; 5:24; 6:40; 20:30,31; Romans 3:22-28; 4:3,16; etc.)

  7. B. But No Passage Says We Are Saved by Faith Alone. Is there any passage that says we are saved by "faith only," or that faith is the sole condition for salvation, or that we are saved without baptism or without obedience? NONE!

  8. C. Other Verses Show That, by Itself, Inward Faith Will Not Save. John 12:42,43 - People "believed" in Jesus but would not confess Him, because they loved thepraises of men more than the praises of God. Were they saved? James 2:19,20 -Even devils believe. Are they saved? James 2:14,24 - Can faith save withoutobedience? No, that is a dead faith (v17,20,26). Man is not justified by "faith only." The Bible flatly says we are not justified by faith only!

  9. The issue then is: What kind of faith saves, and what does that saving faith include?

  10. II. OBEDIENCE Is Essential To Salvation. -Faith that works….

  11. Many Passages Say • Obedience Is Necessary. • 1 Peter 1:22,23 – We purify our souls in obeying the Truth. • Romans 6:17,18 -Servants of sin must obey from the Heart in order to be made free from sin. • Hebrews 5:9 - Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. • James 2:24 -Man is justified by works, not by "faith only."

  12. 1 John 5:3; John 14:15,21-24 - Loving God requires us to keep His commands. If we do not obey, we do not love Him. Can one be saved if he does not love God Matthew 22:37-38 – The great and foremost commandment is to love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind.. The doctrine of "faith only" denies the necessity for all obedience to commands. All the passages we have just studied show that such a view is false doctrine. (See also Rev. 20:12-15; John 5:28,29; 1John 2:17.)

  13. III. Saving Faith Requires Obedience.

  14. FAITH & WORKS In the Scripture

  15. Heb 11:4 “By faithABEL offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did…” Heb 11:7 “ By faithNOAH…. builtan ark..”

  16. Heb 11:17 “By faithAbraham offered Isaac…” Heb 11:29 “By faiththe people passed through the red sea as on dry land..

  17. BLESSINGS RECEIVED BY “FAITH AND WORKS” Abel offeredGod a better sacrifice then was accepted by God.Heb 11:4 Noah builtthe Ark then his household was saved. Heb 11:7 Abraham obeyedandoffered Isaac then received inheritance. Heb 11:17 Israel passed through the red sea then was saved. Heb 11:29 Israel marched then the walls of Jericho fell. (Joshua 6, Hebrews 11:30) Naamandippedhimself 7 times then received healing. (2 Kings 5:1-14). FAITH + OBEDIENCE(WORKS) =SALVATION!

  18. IV. Works that Fail. –Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9 Consider different kinds of works in the Bible: 1. Works of the flesh or of darkness These are sins, which do not save but condemn. (See Galatians 5:19-21; Romans 13:12-14.) 2. Works of Old Testament law or of human righteousness by which one earns salvation The Old Testament is notmandatory today (Gal. 3:23-25; Heb. 10:9,10; Hebrews 10:3,4). Therefore, we all need a system of grace, whereby we can be forgiven, though we do not deserve it. This is the point of Romans 4:4; 3:27; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9; etc. (See also Galatians 2:16; 3:11 - cf. 4:21-25; 5:3; Acts 13:39.)

  19. TWO VIEWS OF SALVATION Arminianism & Calvinism
