What Must I Do To Be Saved


WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

1. Hear the Word of God
Romans 10:13-14, 17 says, "For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How then will they call on him of whom they have never heard...17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." The first step to become a Christian (saved) is to hear the truth (the word of Christ).  

2. Believe
Mark 16:15-16 says, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." One must believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

3. Repent of sins
Acts 2:37-38, "...Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." One must be willing to change their life and turn from sins. 

4. CONFESS JESUS LORD
After deciding to turn from sin and live for God, one confess that Jesus is Lord. "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9 

5. BE BAPTIZED
In order for sins to be washed away, one must be baptized into Christ. "And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, ..." - Acts 2:38 

6. LIVE FAITHFULLY
Now that you have become a Christian, you must be faithful to God until death. "...Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." - Revelation 2:10
