How is a person saved?
  • The Bible says a person is saved by:
    • Jesus – I Timothy 1:15
    • The Father – Titus 3:4-5
    • The gospel and belief – Romans 1:16
    • Confession and belief – Romans 10:9
    • Baptism – I Peter 3:21
    • Works – James 2:24
    • Grace – Ephesians 2:8
    • Blood of Christ – Romans 5:9
    • Name of Christ – Acts 4:10, 12
    • Etc. …
    • Romans 5:1-2 – We are justified by faith.
      • We’re all guilty of sin.
      • Romans 3:23
      • Romans 3:20
      • Romans 3:28 – We are justified by faith apart from works of the law.
        • Abraham is our example.
        • Romans 4:1-2
        • James 2:21
        • Romans 4:3-5 – God doesn’t owe us a spot in Heaven because of all the good deeds we’ve done. No matter how many good deeds we do, we can’t erase a single sin.
          • “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
          • Scripture records this statement three times:
            • Genesis 15:6
            • Romans 4:22
            • James 2:23
            • Abraham believed God many times:
              • Genesis 11:31; 12:1, 4, 7; 13:4, 6-12, 14-18; 14:18-20
                • This was written for our sake.
                • Romans 4:23-25
                • Romans 5:1 – This points back to Romans 4.
                • We need to have this pattern in our lives: “Yes, Lord.”
                  • How do I develop this faith?
                  • Do what Abraham did!
                  • Read the Bible – I Peter 2:2
                  • Then obey it – Galatians 5:16-17
                    • Hebrews 11:8
