What Must I
Believe To Be Saved?
Many who claim
Jesus Christ as their savior believe they are saved by faith alone.
They feel that by simply believing in Jesus as the Son of God and
that He died for our sins will get them into heaven. Believing in
the original Greek can and often does mean more than a simple mental
acknowledgment of facts. God’s Word is written to others for us to
read. What it meant to them is what it must mean to us today.
Lesson Text: John
3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.” “He who believes in Me has everlasting
life” (John
6:47). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you
will be saved” (Acts
16:31).
Theme:
The purpose of this lesson is to examine what the NT writers wrote
to their readership concerning believing in Jesus with the goal of
determining what they needed to believe to be saved and then make
the necessary applications to our own faith.
