Why do I need to be saved?
God leaves no doubt about our condition. We set our standards of right and wrong by society's values. God’s standard for us is His own holiness. How do we measure up? "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). It’s only fair that God demands holiness; that’s how he first created mankind. We have rebelled against Him as a race and as individuals.
Our pathway away from God has brought its consequences.
What are the consequences of my sins?
The Bible compares sin to a cruel slave master. There is no mercy in suffering, no freedom from bondage, no lasting joy, no hope for the future. But most frightening is the final consequence of sin. The Bible warns that without God’s salvation, death is the doorway to eternal punishment.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
How can I be saved?
ACKNOWLEDGE your sinful state--“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6).
BELIEVE the Gospel-- He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved? They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household" (Acts 16:30-31).
CONFESS Him as your Lord--That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Romans 10:9-10).
After salvation, do I still pay for my sins?
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit” (Romans 8:1).
All trespasses (or sins) have already been forgiven us. Before God saved you, He knew every sin you had ever committed but He also knew every sin you would commit. He gave you eternal life with that knowledge and forgave you of all your sins at that moment.
Though we are saved eternally by our position in Christ, we have a walking relationship with God in this life that is based on obedience and submission to His will. Even though we can never cease being saved, we can cease to be in a good present relationship with God. We must strive to direct our lives back to obedience and submission to Him.
Can good deeds and being faithful to God bring me salvation?
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast“ (Ephesians 2:8-9).
To believe that we could be allowed into Heaven by our good deeds only, would be to imply that we could get there on our own strength without the need for Jesus Christ as our Savior. The Bible tells us that we need to repent (turn away from all forms of evil) first, then bring forth fruits (deeds) worthy of repentance. In other words, become Born Again first, then live for Jesus with good works to testify of your salvation and the great change that He has made in you.
