FROM WHAT ARE BELIEVERS SAVED?

Born again believers often speak about people being saved, but rarely do you hear them mention exactly from what are we saved.  The Book of Revelation makes it clear, that we are saved from the Tribulation which is soon to come on this world (Jer. 30:7; Dan. 9:27; Mt. 24:1-29; Rev. 6 - 18).
 
FROM WHAT ARE BELIEVERS SAVED?

1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9 - "And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ."

Revelation 6:16-17 - "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:  for the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

HOW DOES ONE BECOME SAVED?
 
 Acts 2:21 - "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Acts 16:31-34 - "And (the jailer) brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.  And they spake unto him the Word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.  And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.  And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house."Romans 10:9-13 - "...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Watching today's news that is filled with examples of wickedness, war, disease, earthquakes, etc., I honestly believe that the return of  the Lord Jesus Christ could occur at any time!  If you have never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I pray you will do so now!  He loves you, and wants save you from the certain judgment which is about to come upon the whole earth!  Today may be the last opportunity you have to believe and trust in the Lord! 

He loves you and died for your sins to prove it!
