21. Being Saved

1. Hear: Mt 7:24-27, Ro 10:17.

2. Believe: Mk 16:15-16, Heb 11:6, (Not faith only - Jn 12:42, Jas 2:24).

3. Repent: Lk 13:3, Ac 2:38, 17:30.

4. Confess: Mt 10:32-33, Ac 8:36-37, Ro 10:9.

5. Be baptized:  Ac 2:38.  See also “Baptism.”

6. Remain Faithful: Ro 8:1-17, Rev 2:10.  See also “Obedience” & “Conversion.”

 

Is there any part of this that is not a matter of obedience which comes from faith?

What is obedience?  What is faith?

 

22. Few Saved

1. Few chosen - Mt 7:13-14, 22:14, 25:10, Lk 6:46, Lk 13:24, IPe 3:20.

2. Not everyone - Mt 7:21-23.

3. Parable of the Sower - Mt 13:1-23.

 

Why will there be few saved?  I thought Jesus came to seek and to save the lost!  Explain.

 

23. The Deity of Christ

1. Emmanuel = God with us – Is 7:14, 8:8; Mt 1:23.

2. Gen. 1: - “Let us make man....” Ge 1:26.

3. Elohim in Hebrew is plural - Ge 21:22?

4. Godhead - referred to 3 times in the NT. Ac 14:29, Ro 1:20, Co 2:9.

5. Jesus’ proclamation - “Before Abraham was, I am.” REF!!

6. The Alpha & The Omega. Re 22:13.

7. The root and the offspring of Jesse. Re 22:13.

8. Thomas’ confession of Jesus as Lord and God. Mt 4:10.???

9. Jesus is the incarnation of the eternal logos (Word) - Jn 1:1 & 14.

9. Angels refuse worship - Jd 13:15-16, Re 22:9.

 

*Can you find these references?

*Note:  in the ASV, Ro 1:20 uses the word "divinity."

How can s.o. be both the beginning and the end; both the root and offspring?

Did angels accept worship?

 

24. Miracles

What was the purpose of miracles?

Who was able to perform them?

Can you list some?
