ONLY A LOOK


Salvation is simple. "Look unto me" -- not turn over a new leaf, keep the Ten Commandments or promise to do better.
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God and there is none else.
There is only one Savior and His name is Jesus Christ. This scripture doesn't say look to a church, a good life, to baptism or religion.
All people are sinners (Romans 3:23), so all need to be saved. Christ died for all people (Hebrews 2:9) because He loves all people (John 3:16). His sacrifice on the cross is sufficient to save all who believe. 
Romans 10:9 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.
Saved from what? Hell. It is an actual place where those who are not saved will be for eternity. According to the Bible, it is a place of everlasting fire  and torment. Those who accept Jesus are saved to eternal life in heaven.
