How can you be saved? by Melca Jones Escamis https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f “God loved the world so much that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). en-us 2023-04-01 01:07:13 UTC 2023-04-01 03:35:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/271d.png escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540404662 God’s work of salvation is already done and complete. The Bible describes Jesus as “the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world” (Revelation 13:8 NIV), and “God chose him [Jesus] as your ransom long before the world began…” (1 Peter 1:20 NLT). “But God demonstrates his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).]]> 2023-04-01 01:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540404662 escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540404906 The plan to save you was made and enacted long before you were born.

The gospel tells you if you believe in Jesus, and for as long as you believe in Jesus, you are already saved. “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life” (1 John 5:11-12).]]> 2023-04-01 01:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540404906 escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540405101 “…He saved us, not by works of righteousness that we have done, but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Saviour. And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life”
 (Titus 3:5-7 NET).]]> 2023-04-01 01:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540405101 escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540405261 So the Bible makes it very clear that salvation is not a result of anything we do: it is possible because of what Jesus has done. There is only one way we can be saved: by accepting the gift that is offered to us by trusting in Jesus for it. This is called faith. Ephesians 2:8 tells us that we are saved by grace through faith, but that even that faith is a gift from God.]]> 2023-04-01 01:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540405261 escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540406366 2023-04-01 01:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540406366 escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540406809 2023-04-01 01:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540406809 escamismelcajones https://padlet.com/escamismelcajones/4qko9twfj1fvae8f/wish/2540408394 We must decide to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. When we take this step, He adopts us into His family.

"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." John 1:12

This means turning away from sinful ways (repentance) and turning to God (faith), trusting in Christ. Jesus will forgive your sins and set you on a path to life with Him. We cannot earn this right, it is His free gift.

"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
