Salvation is free through faith in Jesus Christ, because He has
already paid the
full price for our sins, through His own Death on the Cross. His Death was the Final Atonement for sin. No other sacrifice is necessary, or acceptable, to God, in order to merit Salvation. Jesus is the Lamb of God, without spot or blemish, who has taken away the sins of the world through His own Blood shed for us. Following are the Scriptural facts taken straight from God's Holy Word, the Bible.
Salvation Is Free:
"Being justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
Romans 3:24, KJV
"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also
freely give us all things?"
Romans 8:32, KJV
"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are
freely given to us of God."
1 Corinthians 2:12, KJV
"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely."
Revelation 21:6, KJV
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely."
Revelation 22:17, KJV
Jesus Paid The Full Ransom Price For Our Redemption:
"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to
give his life a ransom for many."
Matthew 20:28, KJV
"Ye are
bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men."
1 Corinthians 7:23, KJV
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who
gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
1 Timothy 2:5-6, KJV
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20, KJV
Jesus Bore Our Sins And Delivered Us From The Same:
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8, KJV
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;"

"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:"

1 John 1:7, KJV
"And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
John 1:12, KJV
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Romans 5:17, KJV
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Romans 10:9-10, KJV
"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."

1 John 3:23, KJV
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
1 John 5:13, KJV
So Salvation is free through faith in Jesus Christ. There is
no other way. Jesus Christ is the
only way to Salvation and the Father. He is the truth, because He spoke the truth, and He leads the only true way to Salvation. He is Life, because through His loving Sacrifice, He has opened the way to Salvation and Eternal Life to as many as who will believe in Him, and receive Him, by faith. Will you accept Jesus Christ as your Redeemer, Lord and Savior today? He patiently, and lovingly, stands at the door of your heart, waiting for you to repent of your sins and unbelief, and to invite Him in, through a decision of faith:
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Revelation 3:20, KJV
