November 16 Scripture Verse for Today Testifying both to the Jews,
and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 20:21)
The
same Gospel reaches all. Since there is only one Savior, there is only one Gospel. All
religions other than Christianity, are false and misleading. That is not being narrow-minded; it is being
honest. Paul witnessed to the Jews by telling them that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ; he told
the same thing to the Gentiles. Paul preached
a Gospel of repentance and faith. Repentance is turning from sin; faith
is turning to the Lord Jesus Christ. To be saved, one must sincerely repent of his sins and readily forsake
them, totally depending upon the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross to atone for his sins. It is that faith
in Jesus and what He did on the cross that secures our salvation.
If one who professes salvation continues to live in sin, that is a good sign that his profession was little more than
air. ~~~
