In today’s world there are many theories and man-made requirements pushed upon believers concerning what they must do to be saved or simply put How God Saves. Some say that it is enough to simply believe and recite the sinner’s prayer (faith only). Others say believe and then we will vote to determine if you are permitted to be a member. Still others say that there is nothing that can be done since you have either been selected by God from the beginning or you are eternally damned (pre-destination). The problem with these theories is that they are outside of the Bible, the Inspired Word of God.
The purpose of this site is to provide a simple outline of what the Scripture says about How God Saves. Please read the references provided, and you will see that there are no man-made rules that you need to follow. Your salvation is personal and the requirements are between you and God.
Please consider the following Scripture references. In addition, it is recommended that you read at least one of the Gospel accounts (Mathew, Mark, Luke or John) and then the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. In the Gospel account you will see what Jesus commanded and in Acts you will see how the Apostles implemented the commands. In this blog there are several articles containing further discussion of each of the steps and associated topics concerning How God Saves man.
- Hear the Gospel (Romans 10:17, John 8:32).
- Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31; Romans 10:17).
- Repent, turning from sin and changing the purpose of our life to one that is pleasing unto God (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30).
- Confess Jesus Christ as the Son of God (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32)
- Be Baptized by Immersion for the remission of sin (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Romans 6. Act 22:16).
- Live a faithful life unto death (Revelation 2:10).
That’s it! Plain and simple. Read it for yourself and then obey the one true and living God.
We love you.
