LET THE BIBLE SPEAK.

The Conditions For Salvation Man’s need for salvation is clearly established. He is guilty of sin and doomed to the eternal punishment for sin — damnation in hell. However, God acted in his grace and mercy toward mankind to save man from his sin. His grace is displayed in the gift of Jesus Christ who shed his precious blood on Calvary for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). What must man do to be saved by the grace of God as manifested in Christ Jesus? Conditional Salvation Salvation is either conditional or unconditional. In the event that salvation is unconditional, then salvation is universal. All men will be saved inasmuch as the grace of God has been manifested toward all men (Tit. 2:11). In that event, no one has any reason to fear eternal damnation for all will be saved. And if the grace of God is given unconditionally but is not universal, there is nothing one can do about his being saved or being lost because salvation occurs by the predetermined and unconditional act of the w...

What Must I Do To Be Saved? The most important question which any man faces is the question pertaining to his eternal destiny, "What must I do to be saved?" Jesus has said, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (Jn. 8:32). Hearing, believing, and obeying the truth will free one from the damnation of sin; hearing, believing, and obeying false doctrine will leave one in the damnation of sin (Matt. 7:21-23). Hence, knowing the correct answer to this question can make the difference in eternal damnation and eternal life. Where Do I Find The Answer? In order to find the correct answer to the question, "What must I do to be saved?" one must find the one who is qualified to answer the question. Sometimes I have automobile problems which I am unable to repair. I have found that some mechanics are not able to repair my automobile because of incompetence.

What Must I Do To Be Saved? The greatest question ever ask by man is, "What must I do to be saved?" It is a great question because it involves man's greatest possession - his own soul! Jesus said, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul" (Matt. 16:26)? The Question The question, "What must I do to be saved?", is of great significance. A simple study of the words in the question will help us see the importance of the question. 1. What. The word what shows that one is inquiring about the value or nature of a matter. 2. Must. The word must means that a thing is necessary. 3. I. I points to the individual.

What Must I Do To Be Saved? The answer you get to the above question depends on who you ask! The Universalist will tell you: "Everyone is going to be saved, because God is too good to let anyone be lost." The Calvinist will say: "If you are predestinated to be saved, you will be, so just wait for the direct operation of the Holy Spirit." The "faith only" advocate says: "Pray the sinner's prayer and accept Christ into your heart as personal Savior." In this article we will not review these incorrect answers, but the truth that will be presented will show that they are wrong. First, let us notice that the question itself implies that there are two parties involved in salvation. The first half, "what must I do?", shows that there is something the individual must do. The second half, "to be saved," shows God's part. It is not "what must I do to save myself?" but "to be saved. " We are saved by God's...
