Saved The Question IS …

Let’s Look at what the Bible teaches about being Saved

In the Bible It is written: (Acts 16:31) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Some will say: – (All you have to do is believe)

In the Bible It is written : (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. Some will say: – (All you have to do is confess and believe)

In the Bible It is written : (Ephesians 2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Some will say: – (Salvation is a gift from God. All it takes is your faith in the grace of God. There is nothing else that you need to do)

To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. Jesus is the Saviour

So ….“IF” Jesus is the Saviour “IF” Jesus went to Calvary’s Cross and died paying the price for our sins. “IF” we are saved by His grace, His Love, and His Mercy. “IF only through Him is SALVATION Possible. Is there anything the BIBLE teaches That You And I Need To Do To Be SAVED?
