  • God's Word Declares Salvation - 21 ...witnessed by the law...
  • God's Word Defines Salvation - 22 ...by faith of Jesus Christ...
  • God's Word Directs Salvation - 23 ...For all have sinned...
  • God's Word Defends Salvation - 24, 26 ... in Christ Jesus...
  • God's Word Demands Salvation - 27-31 It should be noted here that salvation is not an alternative... it is an ultimatum. 
  1. The Demand To Accept - 27,28 ...without the deeds...
  2. The Demand To All - 29-30 ...Jew...Gentiles also...
  3. The Demand To Acknowledge - 31 ...we establish the law...


The Bible presents salvation as an obvious experience whereby, God by His grace has justified all who have trusted Jesus Christ (1 John 5:13). The assurance of salvation is not based on feelings (though the Christian may feel saved), but on the absolute authority and authenticity of God's Word.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
