How to Be Saved
1. No one is "good enough."
“As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one: there is none that understand, there is none that seek God. They are all gone out of the way; they are together become unprofitable there is none that doeth good, no not one.” Romans 3:10-12
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
3. God loves us even though we are sinners.
“But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
4. The provision is God’s great gift to us.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ.” Romans 6:23
For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
5. There must be repentance of sin (turning away from sin).
“Repent and believe the Good News!” Mark 1:15
6. The required action – believe and confess
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
7. The result is salvation.
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.” Romans 10:13
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to man whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
“For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17
