Dr Ruckman, 2000, Questions and Answers

Many Modern Christian sects erroneously teach salvation is by something a sinner DOES. They claim a person's salvation is dependent upon the WORKS of the sinner. But nothing could be further from the truth of God's word! According to the Bible, salvation is by receiving (by faith) what Jesus DID on the cross of Calvary, when HE shed his blood to pay for the sins of man. HIS FINISHED WORK, done once and for all, is the only thing that can save a Sinner and give him forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

The Bible clearly presents the Gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Notice the Gospel is what JESUS DID FOR MAN, and not what MAN CAN DO FOR GOD!
A person is only saved by BELIEVING in the finished work of Jesus Christ, when he shed his Precious Blood for our sins. This blood atonement was necessary, for without shedding of blood, is no remission (Heb. 9:22). God has always demanded blood for sin. In the Old Testament, God accepted the blood of a lamb. In the New Testament, God accepts the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the LAMB OF GOD, slain for your sins.
