Salvation is simple. It is nothing we do or say that saves us but only faith in the finished work of the cross by Jesus. His strength, His perfection and His love is what makes us right with God. All we have to do is believe it. It's a change of the heart from being hostile to God to living for Him as a result of knowing what He's done.
Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
