The Most Important Question You'll Ever Answer

How to Be Saved

The Bible gives a clear answer. No confusion. No complexity. Just the truth.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

John 14:6
I

You Are Guilty Before a Holy God

The Bible is clear: sin is the breaking of God's law, and every one of us has done it. God is holy, just, and true, and His standard is perfection. When measured against that standard, all men fall short.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

— Romans 3:10

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

— Romans 3:23

"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."

— Ecclesiastes 7:20

God says plainly that anyone who claims to be without sin is calling Him a liar. The verdict has already been given: all are guilty.

II

Sin Has Separated You from God

Sin is not a small flaw or a harmless mistake. It creates a real separation between man and God. Because God is righteous, sin places us at odds with Him and leaves us unable to stand before His judgment or enter His presence.

"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God."

— Isaiah 59:2

"Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment."

— Psalm 1:5

Left to ourselves, we have no answer for our sin and no way to bridge the gap it has created. That is why effort, morality, and religion are not enough.

III

Jesus Christ Is God's Only Answer

God did not leave mankind without hope. The Creator stepped into His own creation. The eternal Word became flesh, was born of a virgin, lived without sin, and willingly laid down His life to pay the full price for sin.

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

— Luke 2:11

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree."

— 1 Peter 2:24

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God."

— 1 Peter 3:18

No church can remove sin. No priest, pope, ritual, ordinance, or good work can cleanse the soul. Only Jesus Christ shed blood for sinners, and only He rose from the dead victorious. Salvation is found in a Person, not a system.

IV

Will You Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?

Salvation is not earned. It is received. God promises forgiveness and eternal life to those who place their trust entirely in Jesus Christ. God does not promise forgiveness to those who instead choose to trust in themselves, in works, or in religion.

"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 3:16

"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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

— Romans 10:9–10

There is no alternative path.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

— John 14:6

"Neither is there salvation in any other."

— Acts 4:12

Every Person Will Die,
and Every Soul Will Stand Before God.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."

— Hebrews 9:27

What if that appointment were today?

You now know what God has said:

The only question left is this:
Will you believe on Him now?

"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."

— 2 Corinthians 6:2

"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?"

— Hebrews 2:3
