El sermón "Lo que dice la escritura" del predicador Joel Coyoc aborda la doctrina de la salvación según la Escritura, enfatizando el alcance universal del evangelio tal como se presenta en Romanos 10:11-14. Coyoc argumenta que la salvación es accesible a todos, sin distinción entre judíos y gentiles, citando versículos que afirman que "todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor será salvo". Además, sostiene que la fe es el medio por el cual los pecadores acceden a esta salvación, destacando que esta fe es un don divino y no una obra humana. La centralidad de Cristo como Señor y Salvador, y la necesidad de un reconocimiento genuino de su señorío son cruciales para comprender la salvación, lo que subraya la importancia de la Escritura como la verdadera autoridad en asuntos de fe y práctica. La implicación práctica de este mensaje es que todos los oyentes, independientemente de su trasfondo, deben invocar el nombre de Jesús para recibir salvación, lo que es un llamado a la necesidad de arrepentimiento y fe en el evangelio.

The Bible teaches that salvation is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
The Bible clearly states that salvation is accessible to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ. In Romans 10:13, it declares, 'For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' This salvation is not limited by ethnic or cultural background, as emphasized in Romans 10:12, 'For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.' This demonstrates God's intention to reconcile a diverse people group through faith in Christ, underscoring the universal offer of the Gospel to those who would believe.

The Bible affirms that faith in Jesus Christ is essential for salvation.
According to Scripture, faith in Jesus Christ is the sole means by which we receive salvation. Romans 10:9-10 states, 'If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.' This verse indicates that both belief in Christ's resurrection and acknowledgment of His lordship are crucial for salvation. Furthermore, Ephesians 2:8-9 elaborates that salvation is by grace through faith, and is not of our own doing but a gift from God. This emphasizes that it is by trusting in Jesus' redemptive work that one is justified before God.
Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9
Scripture is the authoritative source that reveals God's plan for salvation.
The authority of Scripture is fundamental in understanding God’s plan for salvation. As highlighted in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness. In Romans 10, the apostle Paul emphasizes the necessity of preaching the Word for people to hear and believe. He argues in Romans 10:14 that one cannot call on the Lord unless they have first believed, and they cannot believe without hearing the message of Christ. Therefore, Scripture provides the essential foundation for understanding our need for Christ and the means by which salvation is offered.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 10:14
God's mercy is the means through which salvation is granted to believers.
God's mercy plays a pivotal role in the process of salvation. Romans 10:12 states that 'the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.' This 'riches' includes His mercy, which is freely given to those who seek Him. The Gospel message announces that Jesus came to save His people from their sins, showcasing God’s mercy in action. Furthermore, Ephesians 2:4-5 reminds us that 'God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.' Thus, it is through God's mercy that we are offered salvation and restored relationship with Him.
Romans 10:12, Ephesians 2:4-5
