ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES,
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
Matthew 19:16, 21 - And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life . . . . Jesus said unto him, If you want to be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me.
Mark 10:17, 21 - And when He was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to Him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life . . . . Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.
Luke 10:25, 36-37 - And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life . . . . Which now of these three, do you think, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do likewise.
Luke 18:18, 22 - And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life . . . . Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, Yet you lack one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow Me.
ACCORDING TO THE GRACE OF GOD,
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
Acts 16:29-31 - Then he (the warden) called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved....
Romans 10:8-13 - But what does it say? The Word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the Word of Faith, which we preach; that if you shall confess with your mouth (your belief in) the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart a man believes unto righteousness (and is declared to be righteous by God - see 2 Cor. 5:21); and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes in Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek (non-Jew; Gentile): for the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain (unless you just pretended to believe). For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures....
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
THE LAW IS OUR SCHOOL MASTER:
NO ONE CAN ALWAYS OBEY THE LAW,
SO WE ALL NEED A SAVIOR!
GOD OFFERS US SALVATION AS A GIFT;
WE MUST SIMPLY TRUST HIM!
