Faith that Saves

---

God, the Creator of the Universe, is a Perfect Entity. His Holiness requires absolute perfection, something even the "best" humans can never achieve. 

'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, '

Romans 3:23

Jesus Christ came to earth and was born of a virgin in order to be that Sacrifice.

'And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. '

I John 3:5

We must accept the Grace of God that Jesus Christ made available by dying on the cross and rising to Life on the Third Day

'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. '

Ephesians 2:8-9

The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 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.

Do I have to do anything else?

'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. '

Ephesians 2:8-9

'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.'
