What must I do to be Saved?
This is the most important question that could ever be asked.
The Bible explains very clearly what is
needed for salvation. We must
understand, it is more than a single act
that grants us salvation.
First we must have faith. Hebrews 11:6
tells us it is impossible to please God
without faith. Ephesians 2:8 states,”For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God.” At the same time, while we are saved by faith, faith
alone can not save us.
James 2:14 asks the questions, “What doth it profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save
him?” James answers that question in verse 17 saying, Even so
faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
In Acts Chapter 2:38, when a multitude realized that Christ truly was
the son of God, they asked what they should do to right themselves
with God. The Apostle Peter responded, “Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
2nd Peter 3:9 informs us that repentance, turning away from sins,
can prevent us from perishing. Romans 6, verses 3-5 tells us that
we are baptized into Christ’s death, which allows us to share in his
resurrection.
Once we have believed in Christ, repented of our sins, and been
baptized into Christ, we must strive to live as Christ commanded.
1st John 1:6-7 states, “If we say that we have fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in
the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
Jesus is waiting for you!
Our goal is to spread the word
of God to as many as possible
and allow everyone the chance
of Coming to know Jesus
Christ.
Must we be baptized?
Collossians 2:12-13 explains
that being baptized is the
means God has provided for us
to share in the sacrifice made
by Jesus through faith in the
operation of God.
1st Peter 3:21 tells us how
baptism saves us, not washing
the body, but by cleansing us of
sin through the death and
resurrection of Jesus.
in Acts 22:16 Paul was asked,
“And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized, and
wash away thy sins, calling on
the name of the Lord.”
Baptism is an essential part of
our salvation.
Must I continue in faith?
Once we have started our
journey as a Christian, it is
important to continue in faith.
2nd Peter 3:16-17 warns us that
we must be cautious so that we
will not be led away into
destruction.
Verse 18 tells us the best
means for us to manage this, by
studying the word of God. “But
grow in grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.”
In Spirit and in Truth
John 4:23 tells us that God
seeks after those who will
worship Him in Spirit and in
Truth.
We must have both the right
heart and worship God
according to the truth he has
given us in the Bible.
