How To Be Saved


In order to let you know HOW to be saved, I need to ask a few questions first.

1. DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?

Psalms 14:1        The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Romans 1
19        Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20        For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Jeremiah 5:4        Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

Hebrews 11:
3        Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 11:6        But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

2. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD CREATED YOU AND HE, BY HIS PERFECT JUSTICE, WILL JUDGE HOW YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE?

Genesis 1:27 So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Isaiah 42
5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

Isaiah 45
18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Malachi 2
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Genesis 18
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Isaiah 13
9        Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

Hebrews 9
27        And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

3. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A SINNER, WICKED and THERE IS NO GOOD THING IN YOU?
[
To say "NO" you must have been able to obey the 10 commandments perfectly. ]
 
Numbers 15
31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

Romans 1
18        For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
 
Job 31
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?

Romans 7
18        For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Ecclesiastes 7
20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Romans 3
3 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

1 John 1
8        If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.


4. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE PERFECT AND WHO GOD HAS JUSTIFIED TO BE RIGHT WITH HIM, SHALL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN?

Psalm 15
1        LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2        He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3        He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4        In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5        He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved

Psalm 24
3        Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4        He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5        He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6        This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

 
Matthew 5
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

 
1 Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

 
Galatians 5
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
 

4. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT EVEN YOUR BEST DEEDS ARE WORTH NOTHING TO GOD BECAUSE OF YOUR UNHOLINESS AND YOUR WORKS CANNOT OFFSET YOUR SINS?
 
Isaiah 64
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Proverbs 25
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

Job 25
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Psalms 143
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Romans 4
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

 
Psalms 89
48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.



5. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE GOD IS A JUST GOD, HE SHALL NOT LET ANYONE'S SINS AND TRANSGRESSORS UNPUNISHED?

Job 8
3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

Psalms 89
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Proverbs 16
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs 17
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs 19
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

Romans 6
23 For the wages of sin is death…

Ezekiel 18
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.


6. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS LOVE AND HE IS MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS?

Deuteronomy 7
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

 
Ephesians 2
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

1 John 4
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
 
Psalms 103
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Psalms 116
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.


7. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD SOLVED THE SITUATION BY SENDING HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST TO DIE THE DEATH THAT WAS DUE FOR MANKIND AND LIVE THE LIFE IN FULL OBEDIENCE TO GOD WHICH WILL BE IMPUTED FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE?

Romans 5
6        For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7        For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8        But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6
23        For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
Romans 4
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

8.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THOSE WHO WILL REJECT THE ONLY SOLUTION, THE OFFER OF SALVATION UNTO MANKIND BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ARE CONDEMNED ALREADY AND THUS SHALL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE; TO SERVE JUSTICE; TO BE CAST INTO HELL FOREVER AS THE PUNISHMENT FOR SINNING AGAINST A THRICE HOLY GOD?

 
Genesis 2
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

 
John 3
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

 
Romans 6
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 
Ezekiel 18
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Deuteronomy 27
26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.



9.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ACCEPT GOD'S OFFER OF SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST ALONE, BELIEVE THAT CHRIST CAME, LIVE  A SINLESS LIFE, DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, WAS BURIED and ROSE AGAIN; AND THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE?

 
John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 
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.

1 Peter 1
21        Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

 
Acts 16
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Acts 15
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
 
John 3
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 5
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

John 10
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Acts 2
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Acts 11
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

 
Romans 5
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

John 10
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Acts 13
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Romans 5
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Titus 1
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Titus 3
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

1 John 1
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

1 John 2
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
 
1 John 5
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Jude 1
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

-----------------------
DID YOU SAY YES TO ALL?

Now, repent and come to God, ask Him to forgive your sins. He alone can save you.
He wants everyone to be saved. INCLUDING YOU!
He loves you!
Believe in the Lord Jesus and YOU SHALL BE SAVED!

_________________________________________________________________

If you have repented [ a change of mind] and have realized how sinful you are and have asked the Lord to save you and  believe  His promises, REJOICE!
For the Lord knows that you do believe and what He has promised, He is able to perform.


Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, if I am saved and nothing I can do can cause me to earn or lose my salvation, can I continue on sinning?

God FORBID!


John 12
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Romans 6
6        Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7        For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Romans 6:
11        Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12        Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13        Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14        For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15        What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16        Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:


Because if you really believe the gospel now, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A SINNER AND ALL YOU HAVE BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE IS WRONG, and Jesus came so that He could save you from SIN and THE JUDGEMENT against SIN, why would you want to do that again to be defiled again??

Except of course, if you never really believed it to begin with.


.….….….…....................................................................
 
John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

DO you care for your SOUL?
REPENT and BELIEVE the GOSPEL. COME TO JESUS… You will find rest unto your SOUL.



Matthew 11
28        Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29        Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30        For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
