Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Bible say about how to be saved?
Romans 10:9 gives a clear summary: 'That 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.' The New Testament consistently presents salvation as received through faith — not earned through works (Ephesians 2:8-9). The process involves: recognising sin (Romans 3:23), trusting in Christ's atoning death (Romans 5:8), and confessing faith.
Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
Jesus Himself said in John 14:6: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' Acts 4:12 reinforces this: 'Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.' Christianity holds this as a central and exclusive claim based on Jesus' unique identity, death, and resurrection.
What is the difference between salvation by faith and salvation by works?
Ephesians 2:8-9 is definitive: 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.' Salvation is entirely God's gift, received through faith — not something earned. However, Ephesians 2:10 adds that we are 'created in Christ Jesus unto good works' — meaning genuine salvation produces a transformed life of obedience, though those works are the fruit of salvation, not its cause.
