“What must I do to be saved?”
1) How would you answer this question?
– Do I really need saving … I am a pretty nice person?
Ephesians 2:1, “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins”.
Romans 3:10, “There is no one righteous not even one, there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God all have turned away”.
Romans 3:23, “we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”.
“but I live by the 10 commandments”
– I should be right, I’ve have done what the church required
… kept the required church rituals
The golden rule – “Do to others what you want them to do to you”
– Hope it works out OK
Mark 8:38
2) God’s incredible offer
Ephesians 2:8 – “for it is by GRACE you are saved, through faith, this is not of yourselves it is a gift from god not by works so that no one can boast”.
What is grace?
… something that we do not deserve that God offers us all freely because he loves us and wants us to have a restored relationship with him for all eternity.
“What must I do to be saved?”
“Believe (Trust) in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved” Acts 16:31
