What Do You Mean...SALVATION? Part 2 - Herbert W Armstrong - June 1978

Herbert W Armstrong

Do you realize not one in a hundred knows what it is-how to get it when you receive it? Don't be too sure you do! Here, once and for al4 is the truth made so plain you will really understand it! In the April issue, we learned that salvation is deliverance from the spiritual consequences of sin eternal death (Rom. 6:23). And we read in I John 3:4 that sin is the transgression of God's law. So since all human beings have sinned (Rom. 3:23), there is a need for justification before God. But exactly how is one justified? Through keeping God's law perfectly? Through grace alone? Or is there another answer? Actually, as we shall see in a moment, you can't keep a spiritual law with a carnal mind and carnal love. But, even if you could, your obedience is only what is required of you now! It does not make up for past law breaking. A man convicted of committing murder last month does not erase his sentence by being law abiding this month. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
