BE SAVED

 

A few weeks ago, this phrase caught my attention. Call on the name of the Lord and BE Saved. Not Get saved, not received salvation.

62 verses of BE SAVED.

0 verses of get saved. Got Saved, receive Jesus.

Many times, I get intrigued by Wording in the Bible.

For instance, in the Book of Mark

Mar 6:51  And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

Were they amazed? No they were sore amazed! Beyond Measure! And then they wondered. Mark gets his point across but frankly seeing Jesus walk on the water, then watching Him

I look at the wording of verses in the bible, and it says be saved.

Rom 10:12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 

Rom 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It says call on the name of the Lord and BE SAVED. Not get saved, not receive salvation.

I don’t know why but that hit me as a strong thing to say. The Wording spoke to me. It is not a thing to achieve, a thing to work for, it is an enduring state - present and future bearing. BE saved.

We talked not too long ago about this same Jesus and the comfort that should bring to God fearing people.

Now we have Be Saved. Which Means call on the name of the Lord and Be saved. Be Saved. Don’t do a thing but call on the Name of the Lord, Believe and be saved. It’s all on Him at that point right? If you believe and call on His name, then by His Word you must be Saved. Of course this is not a flippant call and why? God knows the Heart.

Be saved. It’s a state of being. Be saved.

Walk around Being saved from the penalty of sin which is death and Hell.

Be, Saved. Not earn, not get not lose it. But BE SAVED.

Comforting for some reason.
