We are saved through believing in God's only begotten Son (John 3:16). All who are saved experience the love of God in their hearts. The Holy Spirit makes God's love real to us (Romans 5:5). In Christ we know God's personal love for us at the cross of Jesus (Romans 5:8).
We are saved by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ. God promises that Christ does in us what we could never do (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, we are saved because God is working in us. Our relationship with God in Christ is forever.
We are saved by receiving God's grace through faith in Christ. Jesus is the grace of God (John 1:14). Grace 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. We are saved by receiving God's gift in Christ (John 1:12).
We are saved to give all the glory to God in Christ (Ephesians 1:12-14). We are saved "to the praise of the glory of His grace by which He made us accepted in the Beloved" (Ephesians 1:6). We are saved by trusting in God's Beloved Son. We are saved through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 10:9).
