Is Salvation Conditional?

Yes, Salvation is possible only when the required conditions are met; however the good news (the Gospel), is, that all of the necessary conditions for your complete salvation have been met by Jesus! He has lived and died perfectly, as your representative and your substitute. He lived and died for you and as you. Anything that would keep you from a relationship with God has been removed; all your sins and shortcomings have been totally forgiven.

2 Cor. 5:17-19 " Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.

Now all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

The account has been settled, payed in full! You have been reconciled to God and forgiven! The sin problem has been settled for all time: all that remains, is for you to believe it. Before you ever heard of Jesus, he had already made a place for you in his family! By believing that he has already taken away your sin and guilt at the cross, your condemnation is dissolved, and you are given eternal life in Christ. You have been given the gift of righteousness; it's all yours if you will receive it. No one is too wicked and too far gone, to be eligible to receive eternal life!

Jn.5:24 "Verily, verily. I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

Jn.6:47 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."

The deal is done, and the covenant has been ratified! You can enjoy the benefits of God's wonderful grace today! No need to do anything to earn it or prove yourself worthy; grace covers all your shortcomings. Don't even waste your time trying to find something good in yourself that will cause God to accept you; your good deeds and virtues are irrelevant, the goodness and mercy of God has got you covered.

Let his grace change you and give you the peace that exceeds all understanding, Let him be the light for your path and the wisdom that you rely on every day. The righteousness of Christ has been imputed to you; receive it and enjoy it. Put away all pretense of self righteousness, and let Jesus shine through you. Your ticket has been paid for, the way has been cleared!

Rom.6:5,6 "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve [be slaves of] sin."

We are free from the guilt and the influence of sin, because we died in Christ, and we share in his resurrection. The very life of God is now available to whosoever will drink freely of his grace and will believe that God has made the way for us to be his very own, chosen, sons and daughters.

He has chosen us in Christ, and made us to be partakers of his divine nature, just because he loves us. Accept the fact that you can enjoy the fruits of the cross and become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Believe the gospel, and accept Jesus as your Savior today, and enjoy the rest of your eternal life!
