Salvation Is Impossible Without

SALVATION IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT: (Hebrews 10:1-10)

I. SALVATION IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CHRIST (Acts 4:8-13)  8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 9If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (John 14:5-7)  5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

II. CHRIST’s BLOOD (Hebrews 9:12-22) (Hebrews 10:4) For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins (1 Peter 1:18-19) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and spot.

III. CHRIST’s GOSPEL

A. MUST OBEY GOSPEL TO REACH BLOOD (Romans 6:1-5)  1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: (2 Thessalonians 1:7-8) (Hebrews 5:8-10)  8Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. that obey him.”

IV. CHRIST’s CHURCH ALL THE SAVED ADDED TO THE CHURCH (Acts 2:46-47)  46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

B. IT IS THE ONE CHURCH CHRIST BUILT (Matthew 16:13-20) (Ephesians 5:23)  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

C. ALL THE RECONCILED ARE IN IT (Ephesians 2:11-22)

V. CONCLUSION:

A. GOD WANTS ALL TO BE SAVED (2Peter 3:9-11)  9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, (1Timothy 2:1-4)  1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

B. IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME TO BE SAVED BECAUSE:

1. They do not BELIEVE (Hebrews 3:7-19)

2. They do not OBEY (Hebrews 5:9) “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.”
