Salvation

The scriptures save and convert the soul.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
JAMES 1:21

We are born again by the scriptures, the word of God.
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
I PETER 1:23
The incorruptible seed is the word of God, the scriptures.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
LUKE 8:11

We are begotten by the word of truth.

18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
JAMES 1:18

We are saved by hearing the word of God. The scriptures save and convert the soul.
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
ACTS 11:14

and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
I TIMOTHY 2:4

MOREOVER, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
I CORINTHIANS 10:1-4

Sound Speech. What is it and is it necessary?

20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them.
ISAIAH 8:20

11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God;
I PETER 4:11

Speak as the oracles of God as we are commanded.
Order your conversation aright as we are commanded.

23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
PSALM 50:23

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
MATTHEW 12:36-37

We will either be justified or condemned by the words that proceed out of our mouths in this life.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
EPHESIANS 4:29

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
JAMES 1:26

Any person who doth not order their conversation aright, their religion is vain and they have not been shewn the salvation of God, and they will give account for their idle words in the day of judgement.

The word verse is per-verse.
It did not proceed out of the mouth of God. Meaning it is not written.
Order thy conversation alright.
Speak as the oracles of God.

Call it a line.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. PSALM 16:6

Call it a precept. Call it a statute.

Is the Lord Jesus, Lord over thy lips? PSALM 12:3-4

Then speak thou the things that become sound doctrine according to TITUS 2:1.

Verse. Bible. Rapture. Trinity. Text. Millennium.

None of those words are of God, because none of them proceeded out of the mouth of God.

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
JAMES 1:26
