BELIEVE THIS GOSPEL

(From Hell-Bound to Heaven-Bound by Grace Alone)
1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (KJV)

INTRODUCTION

The image shows a hand pulled out of fire — a picture of deliverance, not by effort, not by religion, but by Christ alone. Many today still believe they are saved by works, feelings, rituals, or church membership, but the Bible—rightly divided—declares only ONE saving message for this Dispensation of Grace.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31)
Salvation is not earned — it is received.

9 DISPENSATIONAL TRUTHS OF SALVATION BY THE GOSPEL

① REALITY OF CONDEMNATION
Romans 6:23a
“For the wages of sin is death…”

A. Universal Sin – All are sinners (Romans 3:23)
B. Earned Sentence – Death is the payment for sin
C. Eternal Separation – Hell is the deserved destination
Before salvation, every soul is hell-bound.

② RIGHTEOUSNESS NOT ACHIEVED
Romans 3:20

A. Law Cannot Save – The law reveals sin
B. Works Cannot Justify – No flesh justified by deeds
C. Religion Cannot Redeem – Rituals don’t remove guilt
You cannot work your way out of hell.

③ REDEMPTION BY CHRIST
Romans 5:8

A. Substitutionary Death – Christ died for sinners
B. Sacrificial Blood – Payment fully made
C. Sufficient Savior – Nothing else needed
Jesus paid what we could never pay.

④ REVELATION OF THE GOSPEL
1 Corinthians 15:1–4

A. Declared by Paul – Gospel committed to Paul
B. Defined Clearly – Death, burial, resurrection
C. Different from Kingdom Gospel – Not repentance + works
This is the gospel that saves today.

⑤ RECEPTION BY FAITH
Ephesians 2:8–9

A. Grace Alone – God’s unearned favor
B. Faith Alone – Believing, not behaving
C. Christ Alone – No mixture allowed
Salvation is received, not achieved.

⑥ REMISSION OF SINS
Colossians 1:14

A. Forgiveness Complete – Past, present, future
B. Penalty Removed – No condemnation remains
C. Position Changed – From guilty to justified
The fire no longer owns you.

⑦ RELATIONSHIP SECURED
Ephesians 1:13–14

A. Sealed by the Spirit – Permanently saved
B. Safe in Christ – Cannot be lost
C. Sure Hope – Guaranteed inheritance
Salvation is eternal, not temporary.

⑧ RIGHT DIVISION REQUIRED
2 Timothy 2:15

A. Israel vs Church – Different programs
B. Law vs Grace – Different instructions
C. Kingdom vs Mystery – Different messages
Confusion comes from claiming another program’s mail.

⑨ RESPONSE OF GRATITUDE
Romans 12:1

A. Worshipful Living – Because we’re saved
B. Walk in Grace – Not under fear
C. Witness the Gospel – Share the good news
Good works follow salvation — they don’t produce it.

CONCLUSION

You were bound for hell…
But Jesus Christ saved your soul forever.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)
Salvation today is simple, settled, and sure — because Christ finished the work.

CALL TO ACTION

Believe this gospel NOW
1 Corinthians 15:1–4

Rest in grace. Rejoice in assurance. Proclaim the gospel.
