WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE "SAVED"?


Are you saved? What does it mean to be "saved"?
Romans 10;9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
It's that simple -- believing in your heart in Jesus (our righteousness) and confessing. It's not repeating someone else's prayer or doing good deeds. It involves the heart. 
Saved from what? From God's wrath and the horrors of hell.
Today, most people deny the existence of a place called hell. Even "so called" preachers, pastors, and Bible sholars reason it away, even though in the Bible Jesus speaks of it often and with certainty.
There is no reason for anyone to go to hell. Jesus died on the cross for every sin. Only the sin of unbelief will keep you from being saved.
There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Where are you going to spend eternity?
