Salvation is God’s free gift to us. His invitation is for us to receive 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. The Bible teaches that the saved receive new mercies from the Lord each day and are kept by the power of God to eternal life. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life and makes a commitment to Him as Savior and Lord (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:5).
