Soteriology
The False Hopes Of Salvation.
B. He is able to save.
1. "For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are
tempted" (Heb. 2:18). "Now unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (Eph. 3:20).
2. "For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I
have committed unto him against that day" (2 Tim. 1:12).
3. "Wherefore, he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Heb. 7:25).
4. "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the
presence of his glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 24).
C. He is willing to save.
1. "And behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst
make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou
clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed" (Mt. 8:2, 3).
2. "...God our Saviour, who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth" (1 Tim. 2:3, 4).
3. "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise ... but is longsuffering to usward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Pet. 3:9).

ways of death" (Prov. 14:12).
