We are saved when we believe the gospel of Christ. The gospel teaches that Christ died for our sins. He is risen from the dead as our living Savior and Lord (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believers confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Romans 10:9). Christ is our surety of salvation (Hebrews 7:22).
We are saved when God works in us through Christ (Hebrews 13:20-21). God will "make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen" (vs. 21). Therefore, to be saved is to please God through Christ. Our relationship with God in Christ is forever.
We are saved when by God's grace our faith is in Christ. Jesus is the fulness of God's grace (John 1:16). The grace of Christ saves us through faith in Christ. Grace in Christ is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace is God's unmerited favor for sinners. Be saved and sure by God's grace in Christ.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31). The Bible is clear about when we are saved. Base your salvation upon the written word of God in the Bible. Trust the promise of God to be saved, as you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
