Salvation
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
God made salvation so simple, but so many people don’t seem to understand how to be saved. Note in John 3:16 the key word is believeth. Baptism, the “sinner’s prayer,” nor anything you “do” will not keep your soul from perishing in the lake of fire. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. There is nothing else to do…simply believe. Believe what? Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: I Corinthians 15:3b-4 Salvation is obtained when you put your faith in Christ – how simple!
