What must I do to be saved and become a Christian
. . . the way it says in the Bible?
There is a need for salvation!
Romans 3:23
for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hear/read God's Word!
Matthew 7:24
Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on
them, may be compared to a wise man who built his
house on the rock.
Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to
you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached
to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that He was buried, and that He was raised on
the third day according to the Scriptures
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 8:24
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for
unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.
Mark 16:16
He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he
who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God
for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it
is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
Repent! (A turning away from sin to God)
Luke 13:3
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise
perish.
Acts 17:30
Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now
declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent
Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior!
Matthew 10:32
Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also
confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 16:16
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God."
Romans 10:8-13
But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN
YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you
confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the
heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he
confesses, resulting in salvation. For the
Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord
is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Be baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of sins and for the gift of
the Holy Spirit!
Mark 16:16
He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he
who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
Acts 2:38
Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit."
Acts 22:16
Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your
sins, calling on His name.
Romans 6:3-6
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized
into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore
we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk
in newness of life. For if we have become united
with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the
likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that
our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done
away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin
Galatians 3:27
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed
yourselves with Christ.
1 Peter 3:21
Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of
dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good
conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
Faithfully live the Christian life!
James 1:22-27
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers
who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer
of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a
mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone
away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and
abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this
man will be blessed in what he does. If anyone
thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives
his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.
Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained
by the world.
James 2:20-24
But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith
without works is useless? Was not Abraham our
father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of
the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was
fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS
RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.
You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Revelation 2:10
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast
some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have
tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and
I will give you the crown of life.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Always remember. . .
The Bible only makes Christians only!
