SALVATION

Faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior is the only “step” to salvation. The message of the Bible is abundantly clear. We have all sinned against God (
Romans 3:23). Because of our sin, we deserve to be eternally separated from God (
Romans 6:23). Because of His love for us (
John 3:16), God took on human form and died in our place, taking the punishment that we deserve (
Romans 5:8;
2 Corinthians 5:21). God promises forgiveness of sins and eternal life in heaven to all who receive, by grace through faith, Jesus Christ as Savior (
John 1:12;
3:16;
5:24;
Acts 16:31).
The Bible only presents one step to salvation. When the Philippian jailer asked Paul, “What must I do to be saved?” Paul responded, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved” (
Acts 16:30-31).
