Religion will have you jumping through hoops to be saved.
Don't fall for it.
There's not ten ways to salvation, six ways to salvation, not three, not two.
There are no hoops to jump through.
You won't find salvation at the end of an obstacle course.
These steps to salvation you hear about were created by men.
No walking down an aisle, no kneeling at an altar, no jumping into a tub of water, no cleaning up your life or crying a scalding hot bucket of tears, no inviting Jesus into your heart or giving your heart to him, no confirmation, mass, penance, no sacraments will save you, and your rosary beads and Hail
Marys, hey, they won't change a thing.
Saying a prayer or asking God to forgive you won't save you either.
Salvation is not a process and all these steps required by men are lies.
These are not ways to salvation.
There's not ways to salvation.
There is one way.
It's through Jesus Christ and him alone. Believing the gospel by trusting what he did on your behalf, that alone will save you.
If your salvation depends on things done by you, you have no hope.
You can't save yourself and you're not a co-savior.
You can't help Christ save you.
You have nothing to add to the finished crosswork.
It's complete.
It's done.
You want salvation?
Believe the gospel.
Jesus Christ on your behalf died for all your sins.
Every sin you have committed and every sin you have yet to commit.
The wages of sin was death and he took your death.
He was buried.
He was resurrected, delivered for your offenses, and raised for your justification.
Believe on him solely for your salvation, on him alone, on what he did, and on nothing you did or can do.
Regardless of what your denomination tells you, Ephesians 1:13 says salvation comes by you hearing the gospel, then believing the gospel.
There's no list of things to do there.
And listen, those who teach there's only one gospel in the Bible are lying to you.
You do the math.
In Matthew 19 verse 16, a man came to Christ and asked, What good thing shall I do that I might have eternal life?
Jesus replied, Keep the commandments.
However, later on in the book of Acts, the second feature presentation by the way, Acts chapter 16, well after the cross, a man asked the Apostle Paul the same question and he replied, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Same question, different answer.
Do the math.
One question, two answers.
Don't stagger at the truth, rightly divide it.
You see, the reason Jesus gave the man something to do was because he had not done what he had came to do.
Jesus had yet to die on the cross.
He had not been buried nor was he resurrected.
The law was still in effect and had not yet been fulfilled.
The reason Jesus said, Keep the commandments.
But after Calvary, oh listen my friends, here's the good news.
After Calvary, after Christ died on the cross and had risen, he returned to call out a new apostle, the Apostle Paul, and give him the gospel for us, the church which is his body.
So now, to be saved, is it quote, "Keep the commandments," or quote, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?"
What must I do to be saved?
Same question, two different answers.
