A place to begin

How can I be saved?

The Bible presents salvation as God’s gift, not something we earn. We recognise our need, turn to God, and place our trust in Jesus Christ—His death and resurrection. Faith begins a new life of following Him.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...”

John 3:16 · KJV

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart... thou shalt be saved.”

Romans 10:9 · KJV

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”

Ephesians 2:8 · KJV

Guided biblical information, not automated pastoral counselling. You can always request a personal response.
