Additional Information
Rom. 10 (NKJV)
13For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Israel Rejects the Gospel
14How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall
they hear without a preacher? 15And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says,
“LORD, who has believed our report?” 17So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
Matt. 28 (NKJV)
19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching
them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.” Amen.
John 6 (NKJV)
45It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’
Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
~2. BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD:
Heb. 11 (NKJV)
6But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God
must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
John 8 (NKJV)
24Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not
believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
~3. REPENT OF SINS:
Luke 13 (NKJV)
3I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
Acts 2 (NKJV)
38Then 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.
Acts 17 (NKJV)
30Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
~4. CONFESS JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD:
Matt. 10 (NKJV)
32“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
33But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven."
Matt. 16 (NKJV)
16Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17Jesus answered
and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who
is in heaven."
Acts 8 (NKJV)
36Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What
hinders me from being baptized?” 37Then 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.” 38So he commanded the chariot
to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him."
~5. BE BAPTIZED:
Luke 16 (NKJV)
16He who believes and is
baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
John 3 (NKJV)
3Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly,
I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3 (NKJV)
5Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to
you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Acts 2 (NKJV)
38Then 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.
1 Pet. 3 (NKJV)
21There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal
of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth
of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Col. 2 (NKJV)
11In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of
the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12buried with Him in baptism, in which you
also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
~6. BE FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH:
Rom. 6 (NKJV) Dead to Sin, Alive to God 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace
may abound? 2Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3Or do you
not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4Therefore
we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of
the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rev. 2 (NKJV) 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about
to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until
death, and I will give you the crown of life.
