Salvation of God

Q: What does the Bible say about calling upon the Lord for salvation?

The Bible clearly states that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved' (Romans 10:13). The Scriptures affirm that calling upon the Lord is essential for salvation. Romans 10:13 explicitly declares that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' This involves an earnest and sincere call for mercy and grace, recognizing Jesus Christ as Lord. Throughout the Bible, this call is paired with genuine faith, as illustrated in Romans 10:9-10, where confession with the mouth and belief in the heart are vital components of true salvation. It emphasizes that salvation is not merely a surface-level acknowledgment but comes from a deep-seated faith in Christ's redemptive work.

Q: How do we know election and predestination is true?

Election and predestination are grounded in Scripture, particularly Ephesians 1 and Romans 8, showcasing God's sovereign choice. Election and predestination are key doctrines evidenced by Scripture, asserting God's sovereign will in salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 teaches that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, highlighting the divine purpose behind our election. Additionally, Romans 8:29-30 explains the golden chain of redemption, showing that those whom God foreknew are predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. These scriptural foundations reinforce the belief that salvation is initiated and secured by God, underscoring His grace and sovereignty.

Q: Why is it important for Christians to understand God's sovereignty in salvation?

Understanding God's sovereignty in salvation comforts believers, affirming that salvation is wholly a work of God’s grace. Grasping God's sovereignty in salvation is crucial for Christians as it solidifies their understanding of grace and reliance on God. It emphasizes that our salvation is not dependent on human works or decisions but entirely on God's mercy and will. Romans 9:16 states, 'It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.' When Christians comprehend that their salvation is rooted in God's sovereign choice, they also find comfort in the assurance that their faith is secured by His unwavering promise and power. This knowledge promotes humility and worship, recognizing that it is God alone who saves.

Q: How do we reconcile free will and God's sovereignty in salvation?

Sovereign grace theology teaches that God's sovereign choice does not negate human responsibility in faith and belief. In sovereign grace theology, the reconciliation between free will and God's sovereignty lies in understanding the nature of human will in relation to God's divine purpose. While humans are responsible for believing and repenting, such acts are empowered by God's grace, aligning with Philippians 2:13, which states, 'For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.' Thus, human free will operates within the boundaries of God's sovereign control. The gospel call to believe is a genuine invitation, and those whom God has elected will respond to this call, reflecting both God's sovereignty in election and human responsibility in responding to the gospel.

Q: What does it mean to have faith in Jesus for salvation?

Faith in Jesus for salvation involves a heartfelt belief in His redemptive work and confession of Him as Lord. Having faith in Jesus for salvation is a vital and transformative belief. Romans 10:9 states that one must confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead to be saved. This faith is not a mere intellectual assent but a deep-seated trust and reliance on Christ's finished work for our sins. It entails recognizing one's sinful state, understanding God's holiness, and accepting Jesus as the sole means of reconciliation with the Father. Through this faith, believers experience justification and a new identity in Christ, resting in the assurance of eternal life.

Turn back to the passage that we read from earlier on, Romans chapter 10. I'm going to look specifically at verse 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Very definite statement. I'd like to read again from verse 8. But what saith it, that is the Scriptures, the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is, the word of faith which we preach, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation for the scripture saith whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed for there is no difference between the jew and the greek but the same lord overall is rich unto all that call upon him for whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved whosoever in verses 9 to verse 13 it deals specifically with calling upon the lord not just a superficial call but as we see in verse 9 confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved I'll be saying more about that heart later on but all these verses and much of the other scriptures speak of salvation being to do with calling believing, belief and faith Faith in God, God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as necessary in salvation.

Paul sums it up very neatly in the answer that he gave to the Philippian jailer in Acts chapter 16. He asks this question, Sir, what must I do to be saved? And his answer? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. and thou shalt be saved and thy house those are promises well it is very obvious to me that verses like this are misused but let me explain from the scriptures why I believe they are misused let's bear in mind a moment We turn back to the Gospel as recorded by John in chapter 6 verse 28. The context is the Lord has fed the 5,000, taken a boat, he's crossed the sea and eventually those who were fed catch up with him. And they ask him a question, we'll come back to a bit more of the context later possibly. But they ask him a question.

What shall we do? What shall we do that we might work the works of God? He's previously said to them, in verse 27, labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall give unto you. For him hath God the Father sealed. But bearing in mind their background to the law, what do we do? To earn eternal life. That's why they say that. Then they said unto him, what shall we do that we might work the works of God?

The Lord's answer is this is the work of God that you believe on him whom he hath sent it's not your work it's not you keeping the law it's the work of God it's the work of the Holy Spirit in your soul that you believe on him whom he hath sent what we read later on in the chapter confirms that this is the work of God go down to verse 44 no man can come to me except the father which hath sent me draw him and I will raise him up at the last day in john 14 verse 6 we have no man cometh to the father but by me so we put those two verses together that we must come by christ by jesus christ to god the father but no man can come to the father but by the lord jesus christ unless the father draws him through jesus christ there is one way to god only one way and that is through Christ but it is Christ's work, God's work to bring them to Him we have a similar questions asked by those at Pentecost but there is a difference with those at Pentecost Acts chapter 2 they cry out what shall we do? why did they cry out? because Peter in his sermon has told them go to verse 23 to start with ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain Christ a man approved of God among you in the previous verse by miracles and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you as ye yourselves also know you know it you've got no excuse by wicked hands have crucified him and then in verse 36 and you need to read the whole of chapter but then we get these words therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified both Lord and Christ the risen Lord he is the Christ It's a work of the Holy Spirit to give them sight to see that they have crucified the Lord of Glory.

How many people saw Christ upon the cross? Thousands? I don't know. How many were convicted that He was the Son of God despite all the miracles? How many people were convicted? Very few. Very few indeed. the Pharisees we read the miracles ourselves they all speak of one they even acknowledge the fact that he raised somebody from the dead nobody's ever done that in the past and nobody's ever going to except by the Lord's hand how can he feed the 5,000 unless he's God how can he feed the 4,000 unless he was God The same answer that Paul gave to the Philippian jailer. We don't read much about the Philippian jailer, but we can read when we put the jigsaw, I'm going to use the term jigsaw, the jigsaw of the scriptures together. We put verses from here, we put verses from there. We don't try to rest them out of their context, but when we put them together, what do we see?

We see the sovereignty of God. so despite the fact that a verse might look as though it's an open invitation to anybody to come to Jesus it's not so it's the Lord that must bring and it's the Lord that must bring through the preaching of the gospel and the ministry of the Holy Spirit as I said last time I was here we should give attention to words because words have meaning in the scripture We need to study and meditate upon God's Word. Focus. And when we do, we'll have a better and a greater and a sounder biblical understanding of the things of God. But there is a caveat. There is a condition. We must come from the point of understanding that God is sovereign.

He is God. Men limit God in his ability. the fact that we stand here the fact that we've got a universe testifies to the fact we've got a creator it's an interesting thought isn't it ask an atheist do you believe in God or do you believe in nothing and he will say more than likely well he believes in nothing okay when we see our creation When we see human bodies, when wife was cutting up rabbits the other day, we've looked at the inside of rabbits and how they're all put together.

It's wonderful. It is absolutely incredible that we work. Yeah, we go wrong, but it's wonderful. We look at it, how it's all put together. You take one rabbit, you take another rabbit, and it's all the same, all roughly in the same order as human beings are.

Yes, there's the odd difference, but not much. and then we say you know well i've got to say to an atheist well you want to believe in nothing i'm going to believe in god how did you get here well we just arrived so what made you god or nothing uh nothing that's insane nothing made something uh-uh it doesn't work we have the testimony of early romans chapter one that the whole creation speaks of god but man in his wickedness and his blindness and his sinfulness ignores it so when we look into words we must the words of the scripture we must come from the point that God is God and we must not limit him in any shape or way we must not limit the Godhead we must not limit the doctrine of God I'm trying to relate it into things that we can understand but we must take the word of God as it says and so as I said we look at verse 13 look at any of those verses I just read out again that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved and seeing what I've said this is not a gospel invitation and neither are the other verses around it why do I say that? because what we're dealing with is a fact it's part of the solid doctrinal foundation of how the Lord brings sinners to himself not can bring sinners to himself.

He doesn't provide a salvation that people can pick or choose on. He actually brings sinners into a spiritual union with Christ. He speaks of that in Ephesians chapter 1 and there we can see the decrees of God, the purposes of God, and how he justifies as it says in Romans chapter 4 verse 25 verse 4 verse 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. That's the whole purpose, well, part of the purpose of Romans, is to teach us it's not justification or earning our salvation with God by works of the law, but by God's grace.

This is another quite profound statement Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. There is nothing in those four verses, five verses, that speak of works. It's grace. Belief. Not human belief, we have to understand that. It's a spiritual belief. But there's nothing there. It's as it were the sum and total of faith, how it comes. It's belief in Christ.

And believing in Christ is not adding works. I'm not disputing about good works. Good works are ordained from us from the foundation of the world. But we're talking about adding works to grace. We cannot do it. The letter of Paul to Galatians, which is from the Holy Spirit, teaches us it's not works it's by grace alone and this is a confidence for the believers it's a hope for us that you'll come back to this later No, I'll just mention a bit more about it.

It's for the comfort and encouragement to us who've had their black, filthy, desperately wicked state of sin revealed to them. But it doesn't stop there. Yes, he's a God who convicts us of our sin through the preaching of God's Word. What an awful state that is. But then having Christ revealed to us as the Saviour, and has called upon him for mercy and trusting in his blood brought forgiveness and righteousness that we shall be indeed saved unto eternity no additional works of any kind but as i said showing fruits meat for repentance what a comfort to our souls you sin i sin we know that Paul says that earlier on in Romans chapter 7 the good that I would I do not but the evil which I would not that I do you know it's been a great comfort to me as a believer when I get things wrong not just a bit wrong but badly wrong What have I believed in the past concerning God? What have I done? What have I thought? Your thoughts are judged as much as our deeds by God. And it does bring us, even here, this is Paul as a believer. You know, great men, inverted commas, say it's not so. But Paul speaks as a believer. He couldn't speak like this if he wasn't. a wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" He's talking of the flesh.

I thank God, and we can all thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, so that with the mind, the renewed mind, I myself serve the law of God, the law of the gospel, the law of grace. We don't despise the law either, but with the flesh, the law of sin. That's the workings of sin in us.

It's the old man, new man. The new man cannot sin. Go to 1 John and he explains that. Because the new man is the seed of Christ in him. It's the Holy Spirit. The old man is the... This is the problem for us. The old man and the new man. And we must be aware of it.

I thank God through Jesus Christ. And one can almost feel the passion in that, can't one? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord, so that with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Remember the publican's confession though. Luke chapter 18 verse 13. God be merciful to me, a sinner. The first thing to note is he realised God is. Hebrews 11 verse 6 says, Without faith it is impossible to please Him, that is God. For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. He is.

What type of God? The God of the Scriptures. Why do I say that? Because what does He say? God have mercy on me a sinner. He sees God as a righteous God. He sees God as a God who's got a righteous law. A condemning law. And he's convicted by it. And he's convicted of his sin. And he knows God is just to cast him into hell. And Lord Jesus Christ speaks of it. We can't deny it. But he still comes to God.

Have mercy on me. a sinner and the Lord tells us he went down to his house justified in the sight of God what a wonderful statement justified because he believed in God we don't read anything else that he knows as interesting was in the temple what would they know in the temple I don't know but the word of God the law was read He was aware that there was a God, that it wasn't just a bit of furniture all set up for people's eyes. The whole of the temple had a purpose, and that is to speak of Christ. The sacrifices, speak of Christ.

The Ark of the Testimony, which was not there in that time, spoke of Christ. the brazen altar the labors all those things all come together to speak of Christ so what else can we say about it maybe nothing except this so important fact God be merciful to a sinner the Lord heard his prayer he was convicted of his sin Ephesians chapter 2 verse 1 speaks of our sinfulness but it also speaks of his mercy and you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins dead dead pretty final state that is spiritually physically it's a pretty final state and spiritually it's a pretty final state as well where in time past he walked according to the course of this world according to the prince of the power of the air the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lust of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind and by nature the children of wrath even as others anybody want to disagree with that?

I trust not because this is the Holy Spirit's words not mine I believe it I've done it I've walked there but it doesn't stop there but God but God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved us even when we were dead incense hath quickened quickened us together with Christ by grace ye are saved not by faith we are saved by grace we are saved by grace through faith in Christ and all of them alone what does quicken mean brought to life from the dead doesn't mean we've sped up it doesn't mean that our spiritual faculties have been wound up somehow or other that our central processing unit has all of a sudden switched on a little bit doesn't mean that it means it was dead and now it is alive the spiritual dimension we do have a spiritual dimension but the spirit of the flesh is sin and it walks according to the power of the air in the lusts of the flesh but now now God who is rich in mercy for his great love with if he loved us even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ this is the new birth what a great blessing and we can see once again it's the work of God to quicken us it's not your work not my work no matter how pious we might thought we might have been and some people naturally are it's no good it actually turns out that that is spiritual pride i'm going to have to leave out a fair bit i can pick more verses that speak on this matter in John but it's very interesting going back to John chapter 6 the interaction between our Lord and these people who followed him in verse 25 we read of their reaction when they catch up with the Lord and mention what happened earlier and when they had found him on the other side of the sea they came unto him Rabbi when camest thou? he ignores their question that's interesting isn't it Jesus answered them and said verily verily I say unto you ye seek me not because you saw the miracles but because you did eat of the loaves and were filled the God of their belly they were filled with food they

wanted more interesting seek me not because you saw the miracles they did see the miracle but they didn't have understanding the word see sometimes in the scriptures means to have understanding of what's gone on because we read at the end of John chapter 20 the purpose of the miracles maybe you know it maybe you don't and many other signs or miracles truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples which are not written in this book but these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and that believing you might have life through his name they saw that miracle that was a miracle that testified to Christ being the Messiah didn't believe it wasn't mixed with faith there was no work of the Holy Ghost there was no quickening they were blind to it all blind to the Messiah he then goes on to say to them in verse 27 labour not for the meat which perishes but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life which the Son of Man shall give unto you for him hath God the Father sealed and they said what shall we do that we might work the works of God but when he speaks of labour not for the meat which perisheth but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life he's speaking of himself he says in verse 50 he explains to them this is the bread which came down from heaven that a man may eat thereof and not die speaking of himself I am the living bread which came down from heaven if any man eat of this bread he shall live forever and the bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. carries on and then we celebrate the giving of his life of his broken body and his blood at the lord's table which will be celebrated here this evening we don't literally eat christ we are partakers of christ We take him in.

We eat by faith as it were. I don't want you to slag anybody off, but Roman Catholics who say they actually drink the blood of Christ. Do they still withhold the cup? I don't know. But they eat the wafer, which they say is turned into the body of Christ. Yeah, it's hocus pocus. That means, that does have a meaning actually. Latin, which I've forgotten.

We have to remember that the work of God in a sinner's heart and that work of God is according to the will of God to save his children by adoption in Christ. This all goes together with the whosoever. Don't forget, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved. but it's all because of these things of which I am reading here in the scriptures maybe it's the first time you've heard them I haven't got a clue what you know I'm not going to presume this pulpit goes out all over the world possibly how many people have heard of Sovereign Grace?

I don't know so I'm not going to assume anything Verse 38 and verse 39. I'm going backwards and forwards a bit, trying to keep an order to it. I came down from heaven not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will, which he hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I shall lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. He's speaking of his inheritance, the church, He's speaking of believers, individual men, not just a group of people. It is a group of people, but it's individuals.

John chapter 17 verse 24, the Lord's Prayer, or the Lord prays for his own. we see him praying for his own people and it's very illustrative I used to believe that Christ died for everybody but then we get verse 9 I pray for them that's the Lord Jesus Christ praying for those that the Lord has given him I pray not for the world but for them which thou hast given me for they are thine and then back to 24 and the glory sorry father i will that they also this is all the saints whom thou has given me be with me where i am that they may behold my glory which thou has given me for thou lovest me before the foundation of the world the Father loved Christ before the foundation of the world and as we read from Ephesians he's chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world this is from eternity eternity is the ever-present now very difficult concept for us to understand because we're not God but he's chosen us because of his mercy his grace his love What a wonderful, wonderful God we have. A God full of mercy. A God who does punish. I cannot help but say it. He punishes sinners, but he loves those who come unto him who are in Christ. continue on from verse 39 and this is the will of him that sent me that everyone which seeth the son and believeth on him may have everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last day we see him through the eye of faith we see him from the scriptures see him means to understand him to have understanding of just who he is like that publican Had he seen the Lord Jesus Christ? I don't know.

But he was certainly looking to Christ. God have mercy on me a sinner. He believed God. And as with Abraham, it was counted to him for righteousness. It's not an easy thing. It's an impossible thing for a man to believe in God. As I mentioned earlier.

Hopefully, you may understand now why I've gone here not here there and everywhere but I've gone to different places some of you might have understanding of this word whosoever what does it mean? what does it mean confessing with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in thine heart? well the question must be do you believe in what you are? from the scriptures do you know what you are according to the word of god do you believe the things of which i have spoken of this morning and things that has been spoken from this pulpit over many many years are we going to doubt and the answer is yes the old man causes us to doubt satan causes us to doubt the old man still has his hand upon us as I mentioned from Romans but as Paul's confidence is in the promises of God in Christ Jesus so our confidence should be in the promises of God in Christ Jesus we have that spiritual equipment to help us Ephesians chapter 6 speaks of the whole armour of God but we've also got the witness of the Holy Spirit is it supernatural? I'll use the word not in a superstitious sense but it's something outside the experience of normal men Romans 8 verse 15 and 16 for we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father the fatherliness of the father the spirit itself bearing witness with our spirit that we are the children of God we are not left without a witness inside us we can only think about what we've read from the scriptures we can only believe in the nature of God of whom God is and we read from the scripture when there is a witness of the spirit in our souls we can't do it without the Holy Spirit we are God's children it's the spirit of adoption again Ephesians chapter 1 and this witness is to comfort us in the knowledge that we are the Lord's people Dr John Gill says that it doesn't make our salvation surer the witness of the Holy Spirit doesn't make our salvation surer it confirms us in us that we are the people, the children of God.

Go to 1 John 3.14. Part of the witness that we can see in ourselves is love for the brethren.

I won't turn to it.

But the sureness of our salvation is based upon the promises of God, the foundation of the covenant of grace in Christ. his incarnation, his birth and I use the two because unto us a son is given that's the incarnation and to us a child is born the man god the perfect man we have the two we have his life, his death, his resurrection and the sureness of our salvation is based on what God has done in sending his son into the world to die for sinners to die for me I can say that to die for me I have a personal interest and if you're one of the Lord's people you have that personal interest it doesn't depend upon your theological accuracy now be careful with that but I do want to make a point where the Lord has brought me from some very strange places before I was converted and even after I was converted I believed things which were wrong and the Lord in his mercy has opened my eyes but the one thing I did believe that Christ Jesus is God he wasn't a God he was God I do believe in God the Father God the Spirit three persons one God so that's why I say especially for young Christians we grow like a child grows we grow but we grow in Christ and let us never turn our backs upon the Word of God the authorised version of the Bible not the other perversions and I say that and I mean it this is the Word of God We must see predestination as the love of God in His decrees. We must see election as the love of God in His decrees. We must see adoption and that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love as God's decrees.

I know people will try to get round it. You cannot. This is the mercy of God.

Without predestination, election, we'll still be in our sins because we wouldn't have called upon Christ believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved just to mention it's also found in Isaiah chapter 28 somewhat truncated but it's mentioned too in Paul quotes it in chapter 9 of Romans verse 33 as it is written behold I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed at the judgment day we shall not be ashamed because he is all our salvation so then from these words let us have hope Do we believe in Christ?

Do you believe you're a sinner first? It's interesting isn't it? You say well you know how much do I believe? Well you think of those in the Old Testament Daniel went into the lion's den he believed in his God Azariah, Hananiah and Mishael or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego before one of the most powerful emperors probably surpassing all the other emperors that we've had since Nabuchadnezzar who said you know basically you've got to do as I tell you otherwise I'm going to throw you into the fiery furnace their answer is quite an incredible answer actually we know that if it is the will of God I'm paraphrasing it now we know if it's the will of God he can save us save us from this death it certainly looked as though they were going to be killed murdered really but they said but even if it's not God's will that we should survive by one way or another from the death that you have plotted for us we are not going to bow down to you their faith in God sustain them if it be so our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of thine hand okay many ways the Lord could have done it but if not be it known unto you this takes a bit of guts doesn't it let's be honest spiritual faith Be it known unto thee, O King, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. You might say, could I do that? You've not been there.

Lord gives grace for the day, for the place we find ourselves in at the moment. The battles of tomorrow are for tomorrow. God gives us grace. that every situation we will find ourselves in but what a great blessing I leave you again with these words whosoever call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved I mean there's so much more that's got that should be said about that verse about calling about who the Lord is I've only briefly touched upon it the state of the sinner there's so much but what a what a wonderful testimony we can bear when we can say we've called on the Lord and the Lord has saved it's a testament to God's grace to the love of God for a sinful being such as me and for those of you who are saved such as you for every one of us Lord have mercy upon us and grant us the comfort of these words to our souls and an encouragement to walk in the faith of God's elect. Amen.
