Hi Lynn...thank you for this post. We humans, try to make 'salvation' so hard. Yet, it is so simple.
Some want to work for it, others want to buy it,.. to somehow earn it. Still others think it is 'inherited from family members.' ~~ None of these are correct.

Yet, we are told in Holy Scripture: "How are we saved?"

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God;

Not of works, lest any man should boast." King James Version
~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 2:8-9 "Because of his (God's) kindness you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God.

"Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it." - The Living Bible

--- bible
God's grace/ our faith
God's gift/ we accept (by faith)

FAITH =Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

=Without faith it is impossible to please God.

=Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

.......That's it!

Thanks be to God who gives us the VICTORY in Christ Jesus! cross
