What must I do to be saved according to the Bible?

Answered in 6 sources

To be saved, you must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting Him as your righteousness.

According to the Bible, salvation is found through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Acts 16:31 states, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.' This emphasizes that salvation is not obtained through works or human effort but through trusting in the person and work of Christ. Recognizing that all our righteousness is as filthy rags before God (Isaiah 64:6), we must rely on Christ's perfect obedience and atoning sacrifice for our sins. This belief entails a heart that acknowledges its condition of sinfulness, as seen in Romans 10:9-10, where confession of faith in Christ is vital for salvation. Thus, the key to salvation lies solely in faith in Jesus Christ, who is our righteousness and redeemer.
