Hi Lynn...thank you for this post. We humans, try to make 'salvation' so hard. Yet, it is so simple. Some want to work for it, others want to buy it,.. to somehow earn it. Still others think it is 'inherited from family members.' ~~ None of these are correct. Yet, we are told in Holy Scripture: "How are we saved?"Ephesians 2:8-9 "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." King James Version ~~~~~~~~ Ephesians 2:8-9 "Because of his (God's) kindness you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God. "Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it." - The Living Bible --- God's grace/ our faith God's gift/ we accept (by faith) FAITH =Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. =Without faith it is impossible to please God. =Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. .......That's it! Thanks be to God who gives us the VICTORY in Christ Jesus!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]

Yes, (((( Smiles )))) If we could be saved only by what we do then Christ would have died in vain. We are created for good works but not created to save ourselves by good works. There is a difference indeed!

There is no correct answer to that but we know of one perfect man! Thank You for the Gift of Jesus/Yeshua!
Isaiah 42:1 Behold My Servant, I will uphold Him; My Elect in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit on him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.
Isaiah 42:6-7 I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You, and give You for a covenant of the people, for a Light of the nations; to open blind eyes, to deliver the prisoner from the prison; those who sit in darkness from the prison. The Interlinear Bible
And Yeshua/Jesus IS the Light Of The World! And the only perfect Gift! He Gave! There is no one else. And we are the prisoners that are blind! And Satan is a warden. Jesus will release us from that bondage, our prison.

Lynn's post: [By faith you are made righteous! Not just by how you look to others not just by how much you do your works but by the content of ones heart ones faith that God cares about most. He cares about ones faith in Him!] ---------- Hi Lynn! This is a good post. It seems to me the title should be more on the order of 'What must I do to be saved?', 'Or how much does it cost, how many good works?' People of the world DO NOT understand the "WHY" we must be saved to inherit eternal life. Nevertheless, let's point them in the right direction. Thank you for a great topic! ---------------------- -Thou Shalt Be Saved! -By: Henry Morris, Ph.D. "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)-This was Paul's answer to the trembling jailer's question: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" (v. 30). To our modern sophisticated ears, such terms as being "saved" may sound strange and oldfashioned, but there is no more accurate term than this to describe the miracle that happens when a person becomes a real Christian and is "born again." Before being saved, he is under God's condemnation because of sin, destined for hell; but when he believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, he is "saved from wrath through him" (Romans 5:9). Not only is he saved from eternal wrath, he is saved to eternal life. Christ is "able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).This great salvation is not achieved by good works of any kind or number, "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" (Ephesians 2:8-9). "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5).Although being saved is God's gift to man, its cost was infinite to Christ. "If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life" (Romans 5:10). The price of our salvation was the shed blood of Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and the greatest of all sins--the one for which there is no forgiveness--is that of rejecting Him. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). He is our great redeeming Savior, and only He can save! --ICR/ HMM

Believe! Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Galatians 3:6 We must believe as well as we are 'created for good works' but not created to save ourselves' by good works. There's only one Savior and that's Jesus/ Yeshua the Messiah Saved by Faith! Through Faith in the Resurrected Christ. We believe God! To be Saved one needs a Savior and only the Messiah fits the bill that needs to be paid. Nobodies perfect as we all have fallen short in one way or another in our lives. Only God is perfect not us. Only He can save.

There is one prayer you should never pray for as it's impossible. You'll get frustrated as you will always fall short. Please God help me be good as there is none good but one, that is, God.
