The Means Of Salvation

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. - Romans 1:16

    The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the sovereign hand of God the Holy Spirit, is most powerful and the only means of salvation for sinful man. Man with his religious inventions and gimmicks, in trying to entice sinners to become Christians, is useless and a mockery to the triune God. Nothing can improve or replace what God has ordained. Even when Christ is preached in truth, and only then, God must make his Word effectual to the heart, giving faith, life and understanding. The Gospel of Christ is not just part of a larger plan that God uses to save his people. It is the sum and substance of all that is revealed of God’s salvation in Christ.

    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Rom 1:16). For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God (1 Cor 1:18).

    There has never been, nor ever will be one sinner saved apart from the preaching of Christ and him crucified, because the Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation.
