Faith Alone #1: What You MUST Do To Be Saved (Acts 16:30-31)

We are saved by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. The sole condition to receive eternal life is faith in Christ.

[John--Lisa]

Yes we are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone NOT of ourselves, it’s a GIFT from God, NOT of works least any man boast

[eric]

Too many people read this and fail to accept it as true . They often attempt to limit grace by saying stuff that adds to trusting in Christ , such as it only applies to those who occasionally sin - not to those who have a besetting sin problem . I have two choices here 1) to trust that Jesus has paid the price of ALL of my sins by shedding His cleansing blood at Calvary for me, or 2) to believe He has got me covered, IF I perform better in my daily life and show good fruit as a consequence . I am fighting hard, but fall often . I look to Christ to finish in me what He started ( Phillipians 1, verse 6 ) . I've got nowhere else to go . I note 1 John, Chapter 1, verse 7 . If we trust Him, He has got us completely covered .

Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ... Ok but that could also mean: believe on Him (believe what he says)

[stevenanderson]

I agree with what you are saying. What do you say to those who will say “but even the demons believe, are they saved?”

[MarathonMadeGalatians-]

Acts 26:20 Jesus taught Paul to teach "that all must repent of their sins and turn to God and prove they have changed by the good things they do"

NLT bible

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel, right? How do we know we have enough faith? Just a question, not trying to start a debate or an argument. Just wanting to sure I have enough faith?

Gods word is very clearly and directly states that you must “Repent and be baptized”. There’s about 200 verses I don’t think you are aware of? And do you know what the phrase “in Christ “ means? It doesn’t mean believe he exists and your saved. Lol. Tell the people about the verse that says you must repent and be baptized. Or are you reading a catholic bible?

You cant base God's Salvation on a couple of scriptures. You have to understand the whole bible.
Every human being will be judged on their works. Many Christians will face eternal damnation, because they thought that nothing was required of them. Scripture says:
Revelation 20:11-15
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
The 5 foolish virgins believed in Jesus, and they knocked on his door and asked him to let them in, but he rejected them.
Esau begged for his father's blessing in tears but he didn't get it.
The rich young ruler was rejected from following Jesus when he refused to sell his riches and give to the poor.
Judas gave back the 30 pieces of silver but he wasn't saved.
Jesus said that every lukewarm Christian without exception will be spit out. That means they will face eternal damnation even though they believe in Jesus.
There are many Christians who believe in Jesus, but they will end up in hell for eternity, because they believed that nothing was required of them for salvation. They rejected his word.
Jesus said that not all Christians who believe in him will be saved:
John 3:36
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

What did the Lord Jesus say on how to be saved? The people speaking in Acts had NO authority. See Matthew 28:18. You must forgive your abusers and tormentors, those who slept with your wife, stole your money, cheated you in business or your father will not forgive you. Jesus said when I was hungry you turned me away. The goats reward is eternal unquenchable fire. Faith without works is DEAD. Deal with it. You should take this down.
