How do we receive salvation according to the gospel?
Answered in 1 source
Salvation is received by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, acknowledging our need as sinners.
According to the gospel, salvation is received by faith in Jesus Christ. Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 15 that the essence of the gospel entails believing in the Lord Jesus who died for our sins and rose again. This encompasses a personal acknowledgment of our sinful state and a reliance on Christ as the sole source of righteousness and redemption. The invitation is extended to all who are spiritually hungry and weary to come to Christ, just as they are, without any pretense or self-reliance. This concept aligns with the reality that faith itself is a gift from God, enabling sinners to trust in Jesus alone for salvation.
