What are the requirements for salvation? How do you know you are saved? In Acts 15, we see the answer to these questions. Some in the church were promoting a "Jesus Plus" gospel, but the Jerusalem Council affirms that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Today, there still is a problem with some adding to the gospel. The requirements for salvation are not "believe and be baptized," "repent and believe" (if by repent, one means to commit to stop sinning rather than change your mind), nor "believe and surrender" (surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus is a discipleship issue not a salvation requirement).

We must be clear about how to know you are saved. If you have received Jesus' gift of salvation through faith in His finished work on the cross, you are saved.

The scandalous message of grace enrages self-righteous legalists. As Paul and Barnabas continue their first missionary journey, they are brutally opposed by self-righteous legalists and try to stone Paul to death. Paul warns that the church will go through many hardships because the scandalous message of grace enrages people who cling to the law and self-justification.

The same power that rose Jesus from the grave is the same power that dwells in us today as believers. In Christ, we have resurrection power that is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine! Don't miss out on all that you have in Christ if you have put your faith and trust in Him for salvation.
