Cheap grace,Easy believism?

Many call the Gospel cheap grace and easy-believism and that salvation can’t just be by faith alone, it can’t just be by simply believing they say.. Let’s take a look at many (not all), but many verses that nip that in the bud…

You can’t just believe they say……

John 3:15-18

King James Version

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 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.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not

believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The problem for most stems from the word “repent” they think it means

“turn from sins”.. it’s a change of mind, going from unbelief to Belief, to stop trusting in your dead works of the law and trusting in Christ finished work instead.. and they just can’t get it,

it’s the biggest heresy in churches.. Nobody’s ever repented of all of their sins, and even if you did, that’s your flesh, you’ve got to be born of the spirit..

How are you born?

By trusting the death, burial & resurrection,

believing on Christ Alone as Savior

(read 1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
