We have seen and do testify that the Father hath sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world. (1 John iv. 14.)
How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? which having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him, God also bearing them witness by signs, and wonders and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Ghost according to His own will. (Hebr. ii. 3, 4.)
Faith is Necessary
WITHOUT faith it is impossible to please God. (Hebr. xi. 6.)
This (Jesus) is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head, of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved. (Acts iv. 11, 12.)
He that believeth not shall be condemned. (Mark xvi. 16.)
He that despiseth Me and receiveth not My words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken the same shall judge him in the last day. — (John xii. 48.)
The Individual Not the Judge in Matters of Faith
IN ALL his [St. Paul’s] epistles are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures to their destruction. (2 Peter iii. 16.)
No prophecy of Scripture is made by private interpretation. (2 Peter i. 20.)
Go ye into the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned. (Mark xvi. 15, 16.)
