Let's Get To The Heart Of The Matter First
God is a Spirit, not a religion. Yes, the bible is a religious book, but it is also a spiritual book. God is the Spirit of Truth. God’s Word has multiple functions that include both religious and spiritual works, concepts and applications. No religious work can get you to God. Jesus did the work of dying for your sins on the cross. Religious people killed Him. But the good news is that He rose again (in the flesh) on the third day by the Spirit of God because He had not sinned. [John 1:17 KJV] For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [John 4:24 KJV] God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. The Spirit of God knows you better than you know yourself. He will ‘validate’ your belief and personally send you His Spirit when He knows you have come into agreement with Him and believe in your heart that Jesus died for your sins and that He rose again. Until then, you are simply playing at religion, but you will never fool God. Jesus said [John 3:7 KJV] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Now let’s learn about:
Bible Basics + Spiritual
How To Be Saved?
Introduction: How Must You Be Saved?
Believe the gospel, and put your full faith and trust in Jesus alone, and not yourself, or any other way for your salvation.
Jesus said :
[John 14:6 KJV] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[John 14:7 KJV] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
The bible says :
[Acts 4:12 KJV] Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Jesus said :
[John 11:25 KJV] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
[John 11:26 KJV] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Therefore, according to Jesus and throughout the Bible we see the only way to be saved is by believing in Jesus. We must call and confess Him and believe the story of the Gospel in our heart that Jesus Christ came to pay for our sins, lived a sinless life, taught, was killed although He was inncoent, was buried, and that He rose back to life again after 3 days, as according to the scriptures.
[Rom 10:9 KJV] 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.
[Rom 10:10 KJV] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[Rom 10:11 KJV] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
[Rom 10:13 KJV] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[Eph 2:8 KJV] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
[Eph 2:9 KJV] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus said he was God’s promised Messiah & Savior
[John 8:23 KJV] And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
[John 8:24 KJV] I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
Therefore, salvation through Jesus is a free gift available to anyone but it must be accepted and can not be earned.
God has proved His love for us by sending His Son Jesus to die in place of us, and in order to pay for sins we’ve comitted when we profess His Son’s righteousness and not our own.
Jesus said :
[John 3:14 KJV] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
[John 3:15 KJV] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[John 3:16 KJV] 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.
[John 3:17 KJV] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[John 3:18 KJV] 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.
The Bible Says :
[Rom 5:6 KJV] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
[Rom 5:7 KJV] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
[Rom 5:8 KJV] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[Rom 5:9 KJV] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
The Bible is clear salvation is obtained simply by believing on the name of and work done by Jesus :
[Acts 16:29 KJV] Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
[Acts 16:30 KJV] And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
[Acts 16:31 KJV] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
[1 Tim 1:15 KJV] This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
[1 Tim 1:16 KJV] Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Jesus said :
[John 6:28 KJV] Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
[John 6:29 KJV] Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
ABC’s = Admit that you’re a sinner who at times has lived against God’s will for your life as found in His laws.
Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ sacrificially died for your sins, was buried, and God raised Him from the dead.
Confess & Call upon the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.
A = Admit You Are A Sinner :
[Rom 3:10 KJV] As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
[Rom 3:23 KJV] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[Luke 5:31 KJV] And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
[Luke 5:32 KJV] I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
The first thing to do is to admit you have fallen short and ask God through Jesus to forgive you.
[1 John 1:5 KJV] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
[1 John 1:6 KJV] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
[1 John 1:7 KJV] 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.
[1 John 1:8 KJV] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[1 John 1:9 KJV] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[1 John 1:10 KJV] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
B = Believe The Gospel ( Good News ) in your heart.
Take that next step in your heart.
C= Confess & Call upon the Lord Jesus who is alive and waiting to hear from you.
There are many false Gods in the world…so calling on God alone will not help you. You must go to God through Jesus, God’s perfect Son.
[1 John 4:10 KJV] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
What does the Bible mean by propitiation?
To satisfy the wrath of God against sin & turn away God’s wrath. To offer a sacrifice that appeases God’s just judgment and righteous anger against us and our sin. Jesus satisfies the justice of God.
All glory to God. Thank you Jesus, for paying for our sins in your blood and thank you for your offer to come to God and live with you!
