JESUS
THE SAVER OF THE SOUL
BREAD
26 Help
me, O Lord my God; save me in
accordance with your love. 27 Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O Lord, have done it. Psalms 109:26-27 (NIV)
15 Here
is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. 1 Timothy 1:15 (NIV)
29 The
next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of
God, who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:29 (NIV)
10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was
lost.” Luke 19:10 (NIV)
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever
believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned
already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only
Son.” John 3:16-18 (NIV)
21 Declare
what is to be, present it-- let them take counsel together. Who foretold this
long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. 22 "Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. 23 By myself I have sworn, my
mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me
every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. Isaiah 45:21-23 (NIV)
1 I love
you, O Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my
rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my
stronghold. 3 I call
to the Lord, who is worthy of
praise, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalms 18:1-3 (NIV)
23 Now
there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from
continuing in office; 24 but
because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save
completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to
intercede for them. Hebrews 7:23-25
(NIV)

“Religion is, ‘I
obey, therefore I’m accepted’. The Gospel is, ‘I’m accepted through what Jesus
Christ has done for me, therefore I obey’.
Religion gives you control, that’s why it’s so popular…If I am saved by
what I can do, then there’s a limit to what God can ask of me. I still have
some control. But if I am saved by sheer
grace, then there’s nothing He cannot ask of me”. Tim
Keller
“The real
difference between the Buddhist and the Christian cannot be seen in their
behavior, but in their heart and motives. One works to be saved, the other
works because he is already saved. One can never rest from his work of making
merit, the other rests in the work of Christ. One has no idea where he will go
when he dies; the other has the full assurance of an eternity with God. The
good news has never seemed more good.”

“It is said Buddha’s
last words were ‘Strive without ceasing’.
Jesus’ last Words were ‘It is finished’.
Give me Jesus.” Scott Sauls
“The
gospel...should be seen as not only a message of good news for lost people to
be saved from sin's penalty, but also a message of good news for Christian people
to be saved from sin's domineering power. The goal of the gospel is not merely
to forgive us, but to change us into true worshippers of God and authentic
lovers of people.” Dr. Steve Childers
“Oh! that I had a trumpet voice to warn
you. Oh! while you are dying, while you
are sinking into perdition, may I not cry to you; may not these eyes weep for
you! Take to heart, I beseech you, the
realities of eternity. Oh, turn, turn! Why will you die? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ye
shall be saved.” Charles
H. Spurgeon
“What if believing meant there’s no way you could stop telling the Good News because it’s more sensational than gossip that parades as news? What if shying away from the word sin so as not to offend, offends a Holy God — and what if being culturally correct leads a whole generation a wrong shy of heaven? What if breaking this addiction of talking about problems could break new ground of talking about our Provider? That we couldn’t stop sharing about how we’ve been saved, rescued, redeemed, revived?” Ann Voskamp
“No matter what
happens in life, remember this: You have a Savior. As a Christian, you have been
saved from death. You have been saved from eternal punishment and hell. You
have the hope that when you die, you will go straight to heaven. That is the
most important thing about the Christian life. There is a Heaven waiting for
you. You have a Savior.” Greg Laurie
