confirming one God, one faith, one baptism one way for all Jew or Gentile Eph 4:5.  

1)   Joh 14:6  “Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, the truth, and the life”:  NOT “A” way, i.e. one of many.  One for Jew one for Gentile. Rom 2:9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; Rom 2:10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:  Act 10:34  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Act 10:35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Joh 11:51  And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

Rom 10:4  "Rom 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.  In this particular usage it says "law for righteousness"  NOT end of the "law". Jesus clearly said in Matthew he did not come to destroy the law...  Not one jot shall change from the law till heaven and earth (which are still here) have passed!  Rom 10:3 talks of those trying to obtain their own righteousness which none can as all have sinned and come short of the requirements.

We all entered this world as babes.  Relative blank sheets mentally, apart from that given by our creator.  During our years we have formed characters, beliefs etc from environments, contacts and other things to which we were exposed. For some of us there has been twist and turns, jumping over hurdles to bring us to where we are; but for all we still have the rest of our earthly journey before reaching our final eternal destination. Today my presentation is titled “What is needed for salvation”; but could otherwise be titled “What is needed for a long peaceful life”.  As we should see, biblically or worldly, they have much in common.       Ok, Salvation, what does it mean?  I know all or most of you would be thinking of life after death.  A belief written on our blank sheets, formed from the contacts, teachings etc to which we were exposed; but let us start with what it really means.
