How to be Saved
Tom Hughes
The Bible tells us that we have been separated by God because of our sin. It also tells us that this is common to everyone.

In this, the Bible also teaches us that everyone will be judged because of our sin. However, God’s desire is that we would not experience eternal judgment for our sin, but that we would know Him, be forgiven and be forever with Him.
https://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/rom%206.23 | For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And the most amazing thing is that God’s love for us is so great and His desire to forgive us is so incredible that the Bible tells us even though we were against Him, God sent for His Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
https://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/rom%205.8 | But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Wow! That is great news. But how can a person experience this love and forgiveness? The Bible doesn’t leave us without answers, but tells us that too.
https://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/rom%2010.9-10 | That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
This is great news! If any person is genuine in their confession of their sin and surrendering to Jesus as Lord, they will be forgiven and saved from judgment.
