Are the various salvation verses in Paul's epistles all consistent with each other?
Yes. The salvation verses in Paul’s epistles are consistent, teaching that believing Christ died and rose again brings salvation. They vary in wording but all present salvation by grace through faith, not of yourselves, as God’s gift. None mention repentance, baptism, works, doing, or keeping, and all point to faith in His blood and resurrection.
Les explains that all these basic salvation verses, excerpted from Paul’s various epistles, say basically the same thing. When we believe that Christ died and rose from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Though stated in various and different ways, every one makes no mention of repentance and baptism, and none mention any kind of works, doing, or keeping. They all say by grace are you saved through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Les wants people to see that these verses are just like Romans chapter 3: it is through faith in His blood, through His death, burial and resurrection, and if we believe it, God does all the rest. We do not have to do anything; He does it. The results of the power of the Gospel are seen as people write and call, even those with no exposure, and the Lord opens their eyes that it is not what we do, it is what we believe by faith.
