received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
John 4:34; John 5:36; John 17:4
Mat 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Mat 19:25 When his disciples heard it,
they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
If you have had a Personal experience with Jesus You know what Baptism this verse is talking about.
Luke 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
That Pesky word Faith again 35 times in the New Testament. without Water Baptism.

1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Reconciliation
2 Cor 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
1 John 2:1 ¶ My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only,
but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
Propitiation == to
win or gain the good will of ; appease or conciliate.
This provide a sufficient ground upon which God in full harmony with His holiness is free to save even the chief of sinners.
If one has no experienced a sense of relief that the sin problem has been solved ,
God is a jealous God.
