Do these verses fully summarize what is needed for salvation?

The Apostle Paul says the Lord’s Supper proclaims His death until He comes again. That is symbolic.

Not symbolic. The Eucharist proclaims Jesus death because we partake of that sacrifice and death which made Jesus Flesh and Blood available to us to eat and drink as He commanded.

We have a prayer we say at Communion.

“ When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your death oh Lord, until you come again. “

Because for us it is not just bread and wine, but the Flesh and Blood of Christ crucified.

That is why it is a proclamation of Jesus death, because it is Jesus Body and Blood.

Something symbolic, would not actually be a proclamation of Jesus death.

I like to summarize for those who are of the world as to what they should believe and do to be saved. I like to keep it simple for them before going deeper, you know, milk before solids. :) I believe the following verses fully summarize in simple language what is needed for salvation. Would you add, delete, or change anything? Thanks in advance!

Matthew 7:21
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

John 14:15
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Matthew 22:36-40
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Galatians 5:13-14
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Found this on the net. Clear and concise.


"The gospel is beautifully simple: salvation has been fully paid for by Jesus Christ and is offered freely to all who believe in Him. Jesus, the eternal Son of God (Joh_1:1-4; Col_1:15-17), took on human flesh (Joh_1:14; Php_2:6-8; Col_2:9), lived a sinless life (1Jn_3:5), and willingly went to the cross (Joh_10:18). There, He bore our sins and took the judgment we deserved (Mar_10:45; Rom_5:8; 1Pe_3:18). With His dying breath, He declared, “It is finished!” (Joh_19:30). That was no cry of surrender—it was a declaration of victory. The debt of sin was paid in full (Col_2:13-14), and God’s justice was fully satisfied (Rom_3:25-26). Now, eternal life is offered without cost to us, because it cost Christ everything. Scripture says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom_6:23). This gift isn’t earned through good works or religious rituals. It’s received by faith alone—simple, personal trust in Jesus as your Savior (Eph_2:8-9). Scripture states, “whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (Joh_3:16 b). No strings attached. No performance required. Just grace—free, full, and forever."

John 3:31-36

... He that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that GOD is true.

34 For he whom GOD hath sent speaketh the words of GOD: for GOD giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ->(Luke 15:21 combined with John 17:10, take a look)

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life->(Mark 16:16 combined with Hebrews 1:1-3, take a look): and he that believeth NOT the Son->(as Scriptures say) shall not see life; but the wrath of GOD abideth on him.->(Revelation 11:18 combined with Revelation 21:8).

Matthew 25:41->
Then shall JESUS say (LITERALLY) also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye CURSED->(you serpents, you are CURSED->Genesis 3:14 combined with Revelation 12:9, combined with Matthew 23:32-35 and Revelation 21:8, among other Scriptures), yes, CURSED into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his (idolater) messengers:

Therefore, woe to the idolaters who invoke the dead beatified by the Beast of the apostate church of Rome, in fact a disguised spiritism as is written in Isaiah 8: 19-22, something like the king Saul of Israel who sought a witch WOMAN to invoke deads, among them was Samuel.


So, woe of the idolaters who invoke the dead like Mary, mother of JESUS, and Apostles, and a lot of other defuncts, hundreds of them in the two millennia of generations that have passed, yeah, woe of the Beast of the idolater and apostate church of Rome and his followers, for the Devil is come down unto you, and he knows that he has but a short time.

BY THE WAY, the witch WOMAN above cited is the nation of Israel, which worshipped the golden calf, and after invented other demonic gods to worship, and in Rome they attended the church of Rome and corrupted the church with their idolatry, then the church of Rome apostatized because of the Jewish churchgoers. In the year 70 the Most High GOD commanded the DESTRUCTION of the Temple of Jerusalem, den of thieves, and banished and scattered the people of Israel throughout the world until 1948, 1878 years of severe PUNISHMENTS, and now? -> AND NOW? -> Revelation 14:14-20, take a look.
