How to be saved according to the scriptures:

- Genuinely repent (grieve) for your own


sins:
(2 Corinthians 7:8-10 KJV, Psalm 38:17-18
KJV, Acts 17:30-31 KJV, and Mark 1:14-15
& 2:17 KJV)

- Genuinely believe and put your faith in the


gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God to
save you from your sins:
(1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV, Acts 20:20-21
KJV, & John 3:14-21, 36 KJV)

- Genuinely call upon the name of the Lord


(ask) for mercy and salvation:
(Romans 10:8-13 KJV, Luke 18:13-14 KJV,
Psalm 86:5 KJV, & Matthew 12:36-37 KJV)
The necessity to repent:

God literally commands all men


everywhere to repent (grieve for/turn from our
sins: Acts 17:30-31 KJV).
The Lord Jesus Christ said twice (the
significance of twice is due to 2 Corinthians
13:1 KJV & Deuteronomy 19:15 KJV) that if a
person does not repent, THEY WILL PERISH
(Luke 13:1-5 KJV).
Furthermore God is the One that gives us
repentance (grievance) when we acknowledge
the truth (2 Timothy 2:24-26 KJV). The truth
that we are vile and not good (Revelation
3:16-20 KJV & Romans 3:10-18, 23 KJV) and
that we are on our way to hell for our sins
(Isaiah 59:1-2 KJV, Ezekiel 18:4 KJV, and
Mark 9:43-48 KJV).
The necessity to believe and put your faith in the
gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God:

- If you don’t know and/or believe the


gospel then you are lost. (2 Corinthians
4:3-4 KJV)
- The gospel does not profit you unless you
have faith in it. (Hebrews 4:2 KJV)
- If you don’t have faith in the gospel it is
impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6
KJV)
- The wrath of God abides on you if you
don’t believe the gospel. (John 3:36 KJV)

Sincerely believe and put your faith in the


gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God, friend,
which is plainly and clearly said in 1
Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV.
The necessity to call upon the name of the Lord:

The heart and mouth are connected (Luke


6:45 KJV, Romans 10:8-10 KJV, and Matthew
12:34-35 KJV).What’s in a person’s heart will
be revealed through their mouth. A person’s
faith will show to God by the words they
speak to God which come from their heart. A
person is both justified and condemned by
their words (Matthew 12:37 KJV tied to
Proverbs 18:21 KJV). Also, God knows when
people are sincere with their words or not
(Matthew 15:7-9 KJV).
Salvation belongs to God (Psalm 3:8 KJV),
we can NOT take anything from God without
asking him for it and having his permission.
Furthermore using our words is how we
receive things from God, including salvation.
The necessity to call upon the name of the Lord:
It’s also very important to understand that
there are over 50+ examples in scripture of
people asking/calling upon the name of the Lord
for help/salvation and God helps/saves them.
There are also examples of people that do
NOT call upon the name of the Lord and these
are the people and things that happen to those
that do NOT call upon the name of the Lord:
- Hypocrites: Job 27:8-10 KJV.
- Workers of iniquity: Psalm 14:4 KJV.
- God’s wrath is poured upon the kingdoms
that don’t call upon the name of the Lord:
Psalm 79:6 KJV.
- Those that don’t call upon the name of the
Lord are consumed by him: Isaiah 64:7
KJV.
- God’s fury is poured out upon those that
don’t call upon the name of the Lord:
Jeremiah 10:25 KJV.
Conclusion
For whatsoever things were written aforetime
were written for our learning, that we through
patience and comfort of the scriptures might have
hope. (Romans 15:4 KJV)

In conclusion, all throughout the scriptures


we see that we are supposed to repent, believe
on God, and call upon the name of the Lord
for salvation. Every example and scenario in
scripture is for us to learn by. We see in the
scriptures that people repented and were
saved, believed the gospel and were saved,
and also called upon the name of the Lord and
were saved, we should do the same.
May God give you the understanding of
what biblical salvation is and God help you to
genuinely repent, genuinely believe and put
your faith in the gospel, and genuinely call
upon the name of the Lord for salvation.
