Being Saved

Things that will not save you:

• Being rich
• Money of any amount
• Doing good deeds
• Following the laws
• Being a good person
• Helping people
• Being religious

Things that will save you:

• Believing that Jesus is God's only Son and accepting him as our Lord and Savior
• Inviting and accepting God into our lives, and His will for our lives
• Being baptized as Jesus was baptized
• Learning from and obeying God's Word

That's it. This came to me a few months ago, but I couldn't quite put it into words. Finally, I have the words. It's not enough to go to church, be a good person, help people, or do good works. We have to do all of that with our eyes and hearts focused on Jesus with the intent to obey and glorify our Father in Heaven.
