What Must I Do to be Saved? Part 2

When we believe that, our next step is found in Paul’s letter to the Church in Rome:
Romans 10:9-13  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Confess (speak) with your mouth, tell someone that you believe the Gospel, (Christ died, was buried, and rose again) and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Now, when you do that, it states YOU SHALL BE SAVED!!  Is that all there is to IT? Yes, it is that simple. As Paul wrote to the Church in Ephesus:
Ephesians 2:8-10  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

SAVED THROUGH FAITH – GIFT OF GOD – that’s salvation! Saved from the wrath of God; Saved from an eternal separation from God for all eternity. Salvation is simple. The hard part is living as a Christian. But look at verse 10 again:
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

His workmanship, ordained, then we should walk,

God will do it for you, if you will let him.

As Paul wrote to the Thessalonian Church:
1 Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Yes, God, the Lord Jesus Christ, will live in you and perform what he wants in your life. One more thought as you read these verses: they are SCRIPTURE, the Word of God.
