"Am I Saved?"

Listen Later

Devin & Josiah discuss the steps to salvation, share scripture that speaks on being saved, and talk about why it's so important to put your faith in Jesus's sacrifice.

Essentials to salvation

  • Faith in Jesus
    • Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast”
    • Acts 16:30-31 “He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
    • John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
    • John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

      • Why do I need to be saved?

      • Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
      • Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
      • Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
      • 1 John 2:2 “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.”

        • Okay I’m saved now, what’s next?

        Salvation is Faith in Jesus alone (Refer to Acts 16:30-31). However there’s more you can do to profess your faith! (No particular order)

        • Read the Word and learn about God’s commands
        • Repent
          • Turn from your sinful habits
          • Join a community of believers (start visiting Churches)
          • Get baptized

            • Works do not save you, but faith produces good works.


            Faith comes before good works.

            Good works do not produce faith.

            Works are the outpouring and fruit of your faith. Works do not equal faith, they are a byproduct of faith.

            Romans 10:10 “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

            Romans 10:17 “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
