Misconceptions About Salvation

#7 Everything in the Bible was written to tell us how to be saved." 

The cause of this misconception is the failure to rightly divide the Word of God.

Not everything in the Bible tells us how to be saved. There are verses in the Bible that instruct us how to live a saved life after we have been saved by faith in Christ.

This misconception has caused many to believe that salvation is by faith in Christ PLUS doing all the commandments in the Bible etc. Obeying Christ as Lord is the result of trusting in Him as Savior. The former is the fruit of the latter.

There are verses that specifically teach us how to enter salvation land and there are also verses that teach us how to walk in salvation land after we have entered it by faith.
