John 3:17
King James Version
17 For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
I've really been thinking about these questions:
Who shall be saved?
What does it take, to be saved?
What do we have to do?
Who saves us?
What are we saved from?
As always, I let the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD guide me.
Here are the verses that answer the salvation question.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.

and to save
that which was lost.

which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.

Behold,
these three years I come
seeking fruit on this fig tree,
and find none:
cut it down;
why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him,
Lord,
let it alone this year also,
till I shall dig about it,
and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well:
and if not, then after that
thou shalt cut it down.

unless ye have believed in vain.

because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example,
that ye should follow his steps:

neither was guile found in his mouth:

when he was reviled, reviled not again;
when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins
in his own body on the tree,

should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed.

but are now returned unto the Shepherd
and Bishop of your souls.
