We can be tempted to think sacrificing for God will can take the place of simple obedience to the gospel. We can “fear” people instead rightfully fearing the Lord.
God commands that His gospel be preached and believed. To obey God is to believe God, take Him at His word. He sent His only begotten Son into the world to die as a ransom for many. He was buried and rose again on the third day. Jesus now sits at the right hand of God the Father interceding for us. ✝️🙏 If you will believe and place your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, you will be saved. It’s not our sacrifice nor good works that will save us. It is obedience to the gospel and that obedience comes by FAITH in BELIEVING Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH and the Life. No man can come to God apart from the Son… no other gods are before Him. Our faith is EXCLUSIVE. God will not accept any sacrifice other than the one His Son made on the cross at Calvary.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
