What are Scripture on being saved and Christianity?

Answer 1

Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

We must recognize that we have all turned away from God and that we do not meet God's perfect standards. This is called sin. Sin is serious in God's sight and God will judge everybody's sin

Romans 3:10: "As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one."

We cannot fix our broken/sinful relationship with God. We must understand that our good deeds or religion are unacceptable to God because our good works cannot cancel out our sin. Read Romans 3:10-18.

Romans 6:23a: "For the wages of sin is death."

God's holiness demands a penalty (consequence) for our sin, this is death. Eternal death is separation from God forever in Hell. God is a just God, and He demands punishment for every sin. Justice is getting what we deserve, because of our sin, we deserve death.

Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sin by dying on the cross. God is a God of mercy and He sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sin upon Himself.

Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Eternal life is a free gift from God, there is nothing we can do to earn eternal life. Grace is getting what we don't deserve. Because of God's amazing grace, He has given us eternal life through Jesus Christ!

Romans 10:9-10: "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

We must believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God Who died for us on the cross, rose from the dead, and is Lord. We must put our trust in Jesus alone to make our relationship right with God. Salvation involves believing in our hearts (inward belief) and an outward confession that Jesus is Lord.

Romans 10:13: "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

This is the only way of salvation; Jesus paid the price of our sin for us. Our response is to accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. If we do, we will be saved from eternal death in Hell to eternal life in Heaven.

Romans 8:1: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

By accepting Jesus' death as a payment for our sins, we will never be condemned for our sins.

Romans 5:1: "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Peace with God means we have been reconciled to Him through Jesus Christ. We can now have a relationship with the living God because sin no longer separates us from Him.
