Thank you for completing the first two studies. You have reached the halfway mark. As you press on with this study, you will be asked to make a life-changing decision.

In Study Two, you learned that:

• Jesus Christ died for us — He took our place and paid the penalty for our sins.
• Jesus Christ rose again from the dead.
• Christ has done all that is necessary to provide eternal salvation.
• In order to receive eternal life, we must believe.

Although the whole Bible is the Word of God, the Gospel according to John and the Epistle to the Romans were given specifically to show how you might receive eternal life. As with the previous studies, this Bible study is confined to these two Books. Any reference to other parts of the Bible will be written out for you.

From your copy of “John & Romans” look up and read the scripture passages referenced, and answer the questions in your own words. (You may also hold your mouse cursor over any scripture reference to “pop up” and view the passage.)

1. What is the great question we all must answer sooner or later? (John 18:38)

2. When you have the answer to this question, what effect will it produce in your life? (John 8:32)

3. In His prayer to His Father, what did the Lord Jesus Christ say is truth? (John 17:17)

4. What must we be willing to do if we are to know this truth (doctrine) comes from God? (John 7:16-17)

5. When we do truth, we come into what? (John 3:20-21)

6. From what bondage will the truth and the light of the Gospel deliver us? (John 8:33-34)

7. If we choose to reject the Word of God (the “oracles of God”), does that change the truth in any way? (Romans 3:2-4) YES? or NO?

Hebrews 10:26,27 — “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation…”

8. According to Hebrews 10:26-27 (above), if we deliberately reject the truth of the Gospel, is there another way of salvation we can choose? YES? or NO?

9. Is it possible to be justified by keeping the Law of God? (Romans 3:20; Romans 3:28) YES? or NO?

10. What are the two kinds of righteousness (“right-ness” before a holy God) a man can pursue? (Romans 10:3)

11. To receive eternal life, which of these (above) must be submitted to? (Romans 10:3)

12. How is a person justified before God? (Romans 3:28)

Believing what God says in His Word (the Bible) and acting upon it is called FAITH.

13. How is faith produced? (Romans 10:17)

14. What must follow the hearing of God’s Word in order to receive everlasting life? (John 5:24)

15. What does God count believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for? (Romans 4:5)

16. With what do we believe unto righteousness? (Romans 10:9-10) The HEART? or the HEAD?

17. Who did Jesus say is the main theme of the Bible — the Scriptures? (John 5:39)

18. What can permanently satisfy the thirst of your soul? (John 4:14)

19. Who or what is the source of this satisfaction? (John 4:14)

20. Who does Jesus invite to come to Him? (John 7:37)

21. Is salvation only offered to a select few? (John 3:16; Romans 10:13) YES? or NO?

What word in these two passages leads you to your answer?

22. What does Romans 6:23 call eternal life? (Read also: John 10:28)

23. Must a gift be earned or paid for by the one who receives it? YES? or NO?

24. Eternal life is only received through Whom? (Romans 6:23)

25. Who or what did Jesus say is the only door of salvation? (John 10:9)

I Timothy 2:5 — “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Acts 4:12 — “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

26. Is there any other way for us to come to God the Father? (John 14:2-6) YES? or NO?

27. After instructing Thomas to put his hand in His side, what did Jesus ask him to do? (John 20:27)

28. Did Thomas believe? (John 20:29) YES? or NO?

32. What were the first words spoken by this man after he believed? (John 9:38)

33. What must you do to be saved? (Romans 10:13)

Now, suppose you were to call upon the Lord and say:

“Dear God in Heaven … knowing that in your sight I am a sinner and that Christ died for the ungodly, and desiring with all my heart to turn from my sins and myself, I now receive Your Son, Jesus Christ, into my heart as my personal Lord and Saviour, from henceforth to live for Him Who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

34. If you come to Christ in this way, will He save you? (John 6:37) YES? or NO?

35. If you have not received eternal life, what can be the only reason? (John 5:40)

36. Have you personally come to Jesus Christ and received the gift of eternal life? YES? or NO?

If “yes,” can you say when and where? [Write a brief account about your receiving Christ]

37. Do you believe, then, that Christ has saved you? YES? NO? or UNCERTAIN?

Can one be absolutely sure that he has eternal life? Yes, you can! The fourth and final study in this series will show the CERTAINTY and the SECURITY of God’s eternal salvation.

38. Do you have questions or comments after completing this study?

Thank you for completing this third study. We hope it was helpful in leading you to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. He bridged the infinite divide between sinful man and a holy God with His outstretched arms on the cross. Christ paid your great debt of sin by becoming the sin-bearer — thereby satisfying the righteous demands of an infinitely holy God, enabling a full and free salvation from an infinitely loving God. At the cross…

“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other” — Psalm 85:10.
