The Bible teaches that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. The following is a simple way to understand what Scripture says about sin, salvation, and new life in Christ.
Our Need: All Have Sinned
The Bible teaches that every person has sinned and fallen short of God’s perfect standard.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23
The Consequence of Sin
Sin separates us from God and results in spiritual death, but God offers another way.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23
God’s Love Demonstrated
God did not wait for us to become righteous — He acted in love while we were still sinners.
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8
Salvation Is Found in Christ Alone
Forgiveness and reconciliation with God come only through Jesus Christ.
“For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”
— Romans 10:13
Our Response: Faith and Confession
God calls us to respond by believing in Jesus and confessing Him as Lord.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
— Romans 10:9
Trust in Jesus for Salvation
Salvation is not earned through good works or religious effort. It is received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. If you are ready to turn from sin and place your trust in Jesus Christ for salvation, you can speak to God right now through prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and place my trust in You alone for salvation. Thank You for forgiving me and giving me new life. Amen.”
