Saved. What is being saved means and what are you being saved from? The bible says that there is no one good and that all have sinned against God’s perfect standards. Therefore all is condemned, separated from God, and into a literal fire burning hell for all eternity. Sin must be paid for and the payment for sin is death.
“Saved” means your sins (past, present and future) no longer count against you towards an eternal death sentence. God see’s you as blameless, free from accusation, completely forgiven, and righteous. You have the full assurance of going to heaven.
So how can you be saved? Well you must recognize that you are a sinner in need of savior and are helpless to saving yourself. You must also recognize that Jesus Christ is the eternal living Son of God. God says that salvation is a gift and a gift is something that is given to someone unconditionally. Whether the receiver (you) of the gift has or is behaving good or bad, the gift is still available to them. No man-made effort is required to the receiver to earn the gift. Salvation is not a bilateral contract, where you do something for God and God in return does something for you.
So here’s the good news, God loves you so much but hates sin and since the payment for sin is death, God by his grace sent his Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross as your substitute in which he was buried and rose again on the third day. Taking the death penalty that you deserve upon himself, placing His payment under your account. The only condition that is required of you is to simply BELEIVE that what Christ has done was fully sufficient for you. The very moment you believe, you have accepted the gift of salvation and you are saved for all eternity.
