Scripture reveals salvation is a gift of grace received through faith in Jesus Christ and His resurrection—not earned by anything you do.
Scripture on How Can I Be Saved
Romans 10:9
New Testament
"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
John 3:16
New Testament
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Ephesians 2:8-9
New Testament
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
1 John 1:9
New Testament
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Isaiah 53:5-6
Old Testament
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
The Bottom Line
Jesus died and rose again to take the punishment you deserve, and all He asks is that you believe in Him and confess Him as Lord.
Try Today
If you haven't already, tell Jesus right now—out loud or in your heart—that you believe He is Lord and ask Him to save you. Then tell one person what you just did.
Prayer
Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28)—He's inviting you to pray.
Father, I know I'm a sinner and I can't save myself. I believe Jesus is Your Son, that He died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn away from my sin and ask Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I want to follow Him from this day forward. Thank You for accepting me and forgiving me through Christ. Give me the strength to follow Jesus with my whole life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
