Luke 3:15-16 15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused [wonder, marvel, ponder] in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet [a narrow leather strap, lace for fastening a shoe or sandal] of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: HE [Jesus Christ] SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH FIRE: Ephesians 1:13 In Whom [Jesus Christ] ye also TRUSTED [a choice to believe which is to have faith], AFTER that ye heard [by choice we heard] the word of truth, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION [The Gospel of Grace: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of all sins, OUR SALVATION]: in Whom [Jesus Christ] also AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED [by choice to Trust, to have Faith], YE WERE [a fact] SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE [only Jesus Christ seals us with The Holy Spirit and absolutely no one else and absolutely no other way], Ephesians 2:8 For BY GRACE [The Gospel of Grace; the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of all sins, OUR SALVATION] ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: Romans 11:6 Amplified Bible (AMP) But IF it is BY GRACE (His [Gods] unmerited favor and graciousness), it is no longer conditioned on works OR ANYTHING MEN HAVE DONE. OTHERWISE, GRACE WOULD NO LONGER BE GRACE [it would be meaningless]. Ephesians 1:7 IN WHOM [Jesus Christ] WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD [The Gospel of Grace], THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS [which gives us our salvation], ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE; Hebrews 11:1 NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. FAITH IS TRUSTING, BELIEVING, TAKING ALMIGHTY GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AT HIS WORD. NOTHING ADDED, NOTHING TAKEN AWAY. PLUS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE AND NO OTHER WAY. Romans 10:17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD [The Gospel of Grace: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4]. The Gospel of our salvation, The Gospel of Grace: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I [Paul] declare unto you THE GOSPEL [The Gospel of Grace] which I [Paul] preached unto you, which also ye have received [believed], and wherein ye stand [trust which is to have FAITH]; 2 By which also YE ARE SAVED [saved from The Tribulation, Hell, and The Lake of Fire], IF [conditional by choice to have Faith which is to trust, believe] YE KEEP IN MEMORY [Believe, Trust which is to have Faith] what I [Paul] preached unto you, UNLESS ye have believed in vain [having no meaning or likelihood of fulfillment]. 3 [This is The Gospel of Grace] For I [Paul] delivered unto you first of all that which I received [Pauls own Faith in The Gospel of Grace, which Paul received from Jesus Christ], HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS [for the forgiveness of all sins: past, present, future] according to the scriptures, [the prophesies in the Old Testament concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ]; 4 And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Yes! It is only Jesus Christ God The Son our Lord and Savior Who baptizes us, seals us, with The Holy Spirit and absolutely no one else! Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet [a narrow leather strap, lace for fastening a shoe or sandal] of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: HE [Jesus Christ] SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH FIRE: Ephesians 1:13 In Whom [Jesus Christ] ye also TRUSTED [a choice to believe which is to have faith], AFTER that ye heard [by choice we heard] the word of truth, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION [The Gospel of Grace: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of all sins, OUR SALVATION]: in Whom [Jesus Christ] also AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED [by choice to Trust, to have Faith], YE WERE [a fact] SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE [only Jesus Christ seals us with The Holy Spirit and absolutely no one else and absolutely no other way], Romans 10:9 That IF [a choice] thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus [confessing Jesus Christ Lord having power and authority over us, Gods will, therefore our Lord], AND SHALT BELIEVE [a choice to trust, have faith] in thine heart that God [God The Father and God The Holy Spirit] hath raised Him [Jesus Christ, God The Son] from the dead [The Gospel of Grace: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF ALL SINS, past, present, future], THOU SHALT BE SAVED [Salvation from Hell, The Tribulation, and The Lake of Fire]. A CHOICE THAT ONLY YOU CAN MAKE AND NO ONE ELSE! Think about it!
