1 Corinthians 15:1-5
Jesus Died for Our Sins
1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.
1 Peter 3:18
Jesus Died for Our Sins
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
Matthew 1:20-21
Jesus Was Born to Save His People for their Sins
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
John 14:6-7
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and the Only Way to God
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Acts 4:12-13
Jesus is the Only One that Gives Us Salvation
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
If there are such a thing as the Great Pearly Gates to the entrance to heaven, then Jesus and His Father control these gates and who enters them...Because Jesus tells us that no one comes to God except through Jesus...Jesus clearly states that He is the Only Way to God...So if you believe that Jesus is the Only Way to God, then Jesus must be in your heart to get to heaven and through the gates to heaven...The believer in Jesus, believes that the Son of God paid for all of our sins that we have committed with His death on the cross...Paul wrote that Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures...Peter wrote that Jesus suffered once for our sins...He is the righteous who suffered and died for the unrighteous, to bring us to God...He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit...And Matthew writes that Jesus was born to save His people from their own sins...
We are saved because we believe in Him and have Him in our hearts and beliefs...Jesus is the Only name to which there is salvation for us from our sins...He is the Way, He is our Way to heaven...
The non-believer does not have Jesus in his or her heart...They do not believe that He died on the cross for our sins...So their past sins are not forgiven, since Jesus is the One and Only One that is our salvation by which we can be saved...He is our Way to God...To have salvation and to get access to heaven and to God, we must accept and believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross...Jesus is our Savior, our Only Savior...
