In my services, I routinely summarise salvation, in one way or another. One of my favourite descriptions of salvation is this: "Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord will be saved." To many, this verse seems inscrutable, or nonsensical. The verse assumes, though, that one has recognised the need to call upon the Name of the Lord. That, in turn, reveals an understanding of sin, and reveals faith in the power of the Lord over sin. It is saving faith. And the "whosoever" reveals that this promise is given to all, regardless of previous works. OBSERVATION: The verse would surely apply, too, to faith for daily living.
