What does believing that Christ died and rose from the dead result in?
The result is salvation. Scripture promises, 'thou shalt be saved' to those who believe Christ died and rose from the dead. This salvation comes by grace through faith, not of yourselves or by works; it is God's gift, and God does all the rest.
Les explains that when a person believes Christ died and rose from the dead, the result is salvation: 'thou shalt be saved.' The verses he cites from Paul's epistles all say basically the same thing, and none mention repentance, baptism, works, doing, or keeping. Salvation is by grace through faith, not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. It is through faith in His blood, through His death, burial, and resurrection. If we believe it, God does all the rest. Les points to the Gospel's power as people write and call, with the Lord opening their eyes that it is not what we do but what we believe by faith.
