There is only one way to rise above the explanations by people of what is required for salvation. Yield to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Devote yourself to him and do all that he commanded. As you draw closer to him, he will show you many things.
Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.“All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:23-26, 1984 NIV)
“When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. (John 15:26, 1984 NIV)
