"WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?"
1. I must believe in Christ:

2. I must repent of my sins:

A. Jesus preached repentance - Matthew 4:17 & Luke 13: 3,4

B. The Apostles preached repentance - Acts 2:38 & 3:19

C. Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of action - Matthew 21: 28-30

3. I must confess:

A. It is a public confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ - Romans 10:9,10

B. I make this confession before others -

4. I must be baptized:

D. There is but one baptism - Eph. 4:5

E. That would be immersion in water, that manner in which Jesus was immersed - Matt 3:16

When you have accepted God's grace (unmerited favor) through Jesus Christ, as we have outlined, forgiveness of sins is yours. You will never have to face those sins again (Hebrews 8:12). You have the promise of everlasting life and the hope of heaven is yours.
