What must I do to be saved?

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Everyone born into this world is born a sinner. Every one of us has come short of God's glory.

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

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.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Because we were born sinners, we deserve death and eternal punishment. But God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son that we may live and not perish!

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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

You must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins and was raised on the third day.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1 Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. The Word. He came and died for the sins of mankind. However, in order to benefit from his sacrifice, you must accept Him into your life by confession and belief.

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

There is nothing you can do to earn salvation. We are saved by the Grace of God alone. No amount of works will ever get you into Heaven. Salvation is not something that you work for. When you have truly believed and confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, his Holy Spirit takes residence in you and you will be transformed.

1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 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.

Once you receive the Lord Jesus Christ, believe on him, and that he was sacrificed for your sins, and was resurrected, you KNOW you are saved.
