GOD LOVES YOU JUST AS YOU ARE by steve finnell


God loves you just as you are, however, in order to be spared from the punishment from sin you need to make some changes.

There is no salvation without faith, repentance, confession, and immersion in water.

FAITH: John 8:24 "Therefore I said to that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He , you will die in your sins."(NKJV)

John 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.(NKJV)

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name: (NKJV)

REPENTANCE:  Luke 24:47 "and the repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.(NKJV)

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(NKJV)

Acts 3:19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that in the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,(NKJV)

Repentance means to change from unbelief and make the commitment to turn from sin and turn toward God.

CONFESSION: Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.(NKJV)

 Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (NKJV)

Acts 8:36-37..."See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?" 37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."(NKJV)

IMMERSION IN WATER: Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.(NKJV)

1 Peter 3:21 There is also ad antitypye which now saves us, namely baptism...(NKJV)

Acts 2:38 .....and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins...(NKJV)

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you , unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (NKJV)

God loves every one, however, salvation is conditional.
