Every one of us has sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. No one reaches God’s perfect standard through personal effort.
Read in the Bible23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
God did not wait for us to make ourselves worthy. Jesus Christ died for us while we were still sinners. He took our place.
Read in the Bible8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Sin has earned a real penalty: death. Eternal life has not been earned at all—it is God’s gift through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Read in the Bible23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Grace and works cannot both be the basis of salvation. God saves by grace—His undeserved favor—not because we have earned it.
Read in the Bible6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
A sinner is counted righteous by believing on God, not by presenting a record of good works. Saving faith rests in Christ alone.
Read in the Bible5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
The promise is open to “whosoever.” Calling on the Lord is not a work that earns salvation; it is the expression of faith in the One who saves.
Read in the Bible13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Recognize that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus died and rose again, and trust Him alone to save you. Turn to God and receive His gift by faith.
Read in the Bible9That 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.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
