On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we will be taking a close look at just what salvation contained in the gospel of the grace of God actually is, Paul's gospel for the Church Age, and starting with the first and most important point, which is how does a lost sinner come to receive salvation? Many, many people, saved people, are quite confused on this topic. Paul Washer says that you have to "beg God" "cry out" to Him to have mercy on you, is that how someone gets saved? Ray Comfort says you have to "turn from your sins and repent" to get saved, is that how someone gets saved? The Catholic Church says you have receive "holy sacraments" and "confess your sins to a priest" in the hopes that maybe you won't spend a lot of time in Purgatory? Is that God's biblical plan of salvation? Fortunately, God has provided the answer to these questions in no uncertain terms, and recorded and preserved them within the pages of your King James Authorized Version Holy Bible. If you are lost and looking for God, this program is directed to you, if you are saved and looking to tell people how they can get saved, this program is also directed to you. We will be diving quite deep into this topic, so come with a searching heart and an open mind.
