Limiting Jesus’ Power to Save
Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls. 30 "For My yoke is easy and
My burden is light."
Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will
be saved;
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and
let every one of you be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you
shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2 Thessalonians 1:7 and to give you who are
troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is
revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8
in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do
not know God, and on those who do not obey the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be
punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord and from the glory of His
power,
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,
which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that you may prove
what is that good and acceptable and perfect will
of God.
Ephesians 4:20 But you have not so learned
Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have
been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22
that you put off, concerning your former conduct,
the old man which grows corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of
your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man
which was created according to God, in true
righteousness and holiness.
1 Peter 2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure
milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

in understanding; however, in malice be babes,
but in understanding be mature.
James 1:21Therefore lay aside all filthiness and
overflow of wickedness, and receive with
meekness the implanted word, which is able to
save your souls.
1 Peter 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere
love of the brethren, love one another fervently
with a pure heart, 23 having been born again,
not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through
the word of God which lives and abides forever,
24 because "All flesh is as grass, And all the glory
of man as the flower of the grass. The grass
withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the
word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is
the word which by the gospel was preached to
you.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,

complete, thoroughly equipped for every good
work.
2 Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all
things that pertain to life and godliness, through
the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and
virtue
Hebrews 2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to
be made like His brethren, that He might be a
merciful and faithful High Priest in things
pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the
sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has
suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those
who are tempted.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great
High Priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all points tempted as we are, yet without
sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find
grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is also able to save to
the uttermost those who come to God through
Him, since He always lives to make intercession
for them.
Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in
one body, but all the members do not have the
same function, 5 so we, being many, are one
body in Christ, and individually members of one
another. 6 Having then gifts differing according
to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:
Ephesians 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love,
may grow up in all things into Him who is the
head -- Christ -- 16 from whom the whole body,
joined and knit together by what every joint
supplies, according to the effective working by
which every part does its share, causes growth of
the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 "teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 "He who believes and is baptized will be
saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special
people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him
who called you out of darkness into His
marvelous light;
Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth
from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall
prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
1 Corinthians 3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but
God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who
plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God
who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and
he who waters are one, and each one will receive
his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For
we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field,
you are God's building.
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may
receive the things done in the body, according to
what he has done, whether good or bad. 11
Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we
persuade men; but we are well known to God,
and I also trust are well known in your
consciences.
