Dr. Couch, was the message of Peter and Paul the same about salvation to the believer?
ANSWER: I can't believe this question. Don't ask me. Please read the letters of Peter! That will give you the answer. I'd love to know from what heretical position such a question is coming. Mercy, mercy, mercy!
But here we go:
"Caused us to be born again" 1 Pet. 1:3.
"A living hope through the resurrection" 1 Pet. 1:3.
"To obtain an inheritance which will not fade away" 1 Pet. 1:4.
"The proof of your faith" 1 Pet. 1:7.
"You believe in Him" 1 Pet. 1:8.
"The outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls" 1 Pet.1:9.
"This salvation the prophets prophesied"1 Pet. 1:10.
"Who preached the gospel to you"1 Pet. 1:12.
"The grace to be brought to you, the revelation of Jesus Christ"1 Pet. 1:13.
"You were not redeemed with ..."1 Pet. 1:18.
"You were redeemed with the precious blood of a lamb, the blood of Christ" 1 Pet. 1:19.
"Who through Him are believers in God"1 Pet. 1:21.
"You have in obedience to the truth purified your souls"1 Pet. 1:22.
"You have been born again" 1 Pet. 1:23.
I think I'll stop here! This is only the 1st chapter of 1 Peter!
Thanks for asking,
Dr. Mal Couch (4/11)
