God is the only
saviour:
"I, even I, am the Lord; and beside
me there is no saviour." [Isaiah
43:11]
"Look
unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am
God, and there is none else." [Isaiah
45:22]
Man will be judged according to his own actions:
"The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither
shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man
shall be put to death for his own sin." [Deuteronomy
24:16]
"But
every one shall die for his own iniquity" [Jeremiah
31:30]
"The
soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the
iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be
upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath
committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful
and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die." [Ezekiel
18:20-21]
"Judge
not, that ye be not judged For with what judgment ye judge, ye
shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you again." [Matthew
7:1-2]
"Now
he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man
shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." [1
Corinthians 3:8]
God desires mercy not sacrifice:
"For
I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God
more than burnt offerings." [Hosea
6:6]
"For
his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." [Psalms
30:5]
"O
Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy
praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are
a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt
not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou
the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the
sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt
offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar."
[Psalms
51:15-19]
Children are born sinless
"Then
were there brought unto him little children, that he should put
his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But
Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come
unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his
hands on them, and departed thence." [Matthew
19:13-15]
Salvation comes by keeping the Law
"Think
not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of
heaven." [Matthew 5:17-20]
... (This is the way to salvation.)
Jesus
showed them how to be more superior than the scribes and
Pharisees:
"Moreover
when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance:
for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to
fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou,
when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That
thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is
in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward
thee openly."
[Matthew 6:16-18]
"Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him." [John
14:23]
"And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" [Luke
6:46]
