Getting Saved

Since the dawn of time, man has been seeking redemption from his guilt and sins. Two ways have been used ---  works and/or faith.

Why seek Salvation at all?  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).  No one can be good enough to gain salvation. They will always fall short. Thank God for Grace.

The Word of God says:  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord  (Romans 6:23).

Salvation is  the result of a lost sinner simply believing that Jesus is the Son of God and that His shed blood is sufficient to cleanse their sins.  How?

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Saving faith (getting saved- from judgement)  is simply coming to the place where one believes, with absolute conviction that everything the Bible says about Jesus is true. That’s it!

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.
