Salvation

 Salvation cannot be bought and it's not by good works or by good behavior. Salvation comes by responding favorably to the Gospel. That message is found in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1 through 4. Everyone will spend eternity in one of 2 places. That is everyone's decision for themselves to make. Heaven or hell. Choose wisely. Don't make the choice depending on someone else's behavior or even your own behavior. Make the choice in light of who you are and who CHRIST is. Conviction of our sins comes by the HOLY GHOST leading to repentance and salvation. To look at our good behavior or the lack thereof in others leaves one in condemnation. Thankfully, we have a choice because of the cross of CHRIST and HIS resurrection. Choose wisely.

Sin nature, soul, salvation, repentance

To answer your first question: God gave Adam and Eve a choice to serve God willingly or to reject Him. In Genesis 2:17 God made it clear that Adam and Eve were not to eat the fruit of the tree or they would surely die. Because of Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, this caused Adam’s sin nature and death to be passed down through all generations since.

The answer to your second question is yes, the soul is immortal and Hell is real (Psalm 22:26; 23:6; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Daniel 12:2-3; Matthew 25:46 and 1 Corinthians 15:12-19). Daniel 12:2 tells us that “And many of them who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”.

You also asked why we repent if Christ saves us. 1st John 1:9 says ” If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. Though believers are forgiven at the point of salvation, there is also an ongoing sense in which believers need to confess sin and experience forgiveness and cleansing. Cleansing was an important part of the Mosaic Law, mentioned some 14 times in the book of Leviticus alone. It was the goal of those who brought a sacrifice to the Lord in the tabernacle and temple.

When we have an argument with others, it creates a barrier to fellowship. Since a barrier between us and God will always be our fault, our need for confession is important for our relationship to God. You should not wait to repent. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says (For he saith. I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation I have succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation). Repentance is making a complete change toward God. That is not earning salvation. That is changing your mind about your eternal destination. You cannot be saved if you do not repent. The only time it is too late to be forgiven of your sins is when you reach the point of death (Hebrews 9:27).

You asked if it was possible to sell your soul. There is nothing in the Bible that implies a person can sell their soul. There is nothing in the Bible that even implies that it is possible to bargain with the Devil.

Salvation

Since the fall of man, the basis of salvation has always been the death of Christ. No one, either prior to the cross or since the cross, would ever be saved without that one pivotal event in the history of the world. Christ's death paid the penalty for past sins of Old Testament saints and future sins of New Testament saints.  The requirement for salvation has always been faith. The object of one's faith for salvation has always been God. The psalmist wrote, “Blessed are all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 2:12). Genesis 15:6 tells us that Abraham believed God and that was enough for God to credit it to him for righteousness (see also Romans 4:3-8). The Old Testament sacrificial system did not take away sin, as Hebrews 10:1-10 clearly teaches. It did, however, point to the day when the Son of God would shed His blood for the sinful human race.  What has changed through the ages is the content of a believer's faith. God's requirement of what must be believed is based on the amount of revelation He has given mankind up to that time. This is called progressive revelation. Adam believed the promise God gave in Genesis 3:15 that the Seed of the woman would conquer Satan. Adam believed Him, demonstrated by the name he gave Eve (v. 20) and the Lord indicated His acceptance immediately by covering them with coats of skin (v. 21). At that point that is all Adam knew, but he believed it.  Abraham believed God according to the promises and new revelation God gave him in Genesis 12 and 15. Prior to Moses, no Scripture was written, but mankind was responsible for what God had revealed. Throughout the Old Testament, believers came to salvation because they believed that God would someday take care of their sin problem. Today, we look back, believing that He has already taken care of our sins on the cross (John 3:16; Hebrews 9:28).  What about believers in Christ's day, prior to the cross and resurrection? What did they believe? Did they understand the full picture of Christ dying on a cross for their sins? Late in His ministry, “Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life” (Matthew 16:21-22). What was the reaction of His disciples to this message? “Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ‘Never, Lord!’ he said. ‘This shall never happen to you!’” Peter and the other disciples did not know the full truth, yet they were saved because they believed that God would take care of their sin problem. They didn't exactly know how He would accomplish that, any more than Adam, Abraham, Moses, or David knew how, but they believed God.  Today, we have more revelation than the people living before the resurrection of Christ; we know the full picture. “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe” (Hebrews 1:1-2). Our salvation is still based on the death of Christ, our faith is still the requirement for salvation, and the object of our faith is still God. Today, for us, the content of our faith is that Jesus Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

Salvation

How you see God is how you experience His salvation, or eternal life in Christ Jesus. As we see in Psalm 91, seeing God as our deliverer entitles us to these benefits such as divine protection from disease, from harm, walking in divine protection (in all your ways, verse 11), etc. God said in verse 14 that He would deliver us and set us on High because we call upon Him and recognize Him.
