Jn 3:
15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life [after physical death, and will actually live forever].
16 “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] [a]only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.
36 He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Savior] has eternal life [that is, already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying Him and denying Him as Savior] will not see [eternal] life, but [instead] the wrath of God hangs over him continually.”
(MY NOTE: Vs 15-16, Whoever place's their FAITH in Jesus will never perish. Vs 36, Whoever has FAITH in the Son/Jesus H> RIGHT NOW, eternal life.)
Eph 1:
13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God].
14 The Spirit is the [e]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.
(MY NOTE: Vs 13, When you heard & placed your FAITH in His work. He Baptized you with His salvation sealing Holy Spirit. Vs 14, This Spititual Baptism guarantees your salvation/eternal life promise.)
Eph 2:
8 For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through FAITH. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;
(MY NOTE: Salvation comes by God's free gift of grace: Rom 3:24, 4:16, 5:1-2, 15, Eph 2:5, thru FAITH placed in Jesus sin atoning work)
9 not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].
(MY NOTE: No self-works needed)
Rom 10:
9 because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will not be disappointed [in his expectations].
(MY NOTE: Vs 9, Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord & BELIEVE in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. Vs 10, When a person BELIEVES in Christ's finished sin atoning work & ressurrection. It results in his justification, his made righteous, freed of the guilt of sin & made acceptable to God & with the mouth's open confession the result is salvation. Vs 11, Scripture proclaims, Whoever BELIEVES in Him will not be disappointed.)
2 Thes 2:
13 But we should and are [morally] obligated [as debtors] always to give thanks to God for you, believers beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through the [e]sanctifying work of the Spirit [that sets you apart for God’s purpose] and by your faith in the truth [of God’s word that leads you to spiritual maturity].
14 It was to this end that He called you through our gospel [the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection], so that you may obtain and share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(MY NOTE: Vs 13, Believers chosen for salvation ""through the sanctifying work of the Spirit"", accessed by FAITH. Vs 14 He called you by the good news of Jesus’ death, burial & resurrection.)
1 Cor 12:13 13 For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed—united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life].
(MY NOTE: Translators capitalized Spirit to identify deity when referring the Holy Spirit. Only Christ: Matt 3:11, Lk 3:16, Mk 1:8, Jn 1:33, Acts 1:4-5, 10:45, 11:16) baptizes with His salvation sealing (2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, Eph 4:4) indwelling Holy Spirit.)

1 Cor 15:
1 Now brothers and sisters, let me remind you [once again] of the good news [of salvation] which I preached to you, which you welcomed and accepted and on which you stand [by faith].
2 By this faith you are saved [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose], if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain [just superficially and without complete commitment].
3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold],
4 and that He was buried, and that He was [bodily] raised on the third day according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold]
(RECAP: Vs 1, the good news of salvation on which you stand by FAITH. Vs 2, By this FAITH you are saved, reborn from above, spiritually transformed, renewed & set apart for His purpose.
