How to be Saved:Perhaps the most important thing you need to know is that there is nothing you can do in and of yourself to be saved. If you were to do something, it would be a work of man and not a work of God. It would be you trying to earn your way to heaven and not God saving you from your sins. No, you cannot do anything to be saved. Instead, having come to grips with your sinful nature, having come to terms with the fact that you are a lawbreaker, and with a sense of sorrow, humbleness, and contrition, you must simply believe. Belief is not an act of man, but a gift of God. There is no magic formula or special words I can give you. Instead, think on these things. Cry out to God. Seek His mercy.

Bible Verses to Consider:Romans 3:23: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Galations 3:10: "For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." Romans 3:24-26: We "...are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." |
