Romans 3:23 ...since all have sinned and come short of earning God's praise.

Everyone is a sinner. Everyone has come short of God's glory.

Romans 6:23 For what one earns from sin is death; but eternal life is what one receives as a free gift from God, in union with the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.

John 3:36 Whoever trusts in the Son has eternal life. But whoever disobeys the Son will not see that life but remains subject to God's wrath."

Because of our sin, we all deserve death, eternal punishment, and the wrath of God. But God, who loves us, has provided a way for us to have eternal life with Him - through the atoning death of Yeshua HaMaschiach (Jesus Christ).

John 1: 12 But to as many as did receive him, to those who put their trust in his person and power, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 not because of bloodline, physical impulse or human intention, but because of God.

You must receive Yeshua because no one is born into salvation. No one deserves it.

Romans 10: 9 ...that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and trust in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be delivered. 10 For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance. 11 For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on him will not be humiliated. 12 That means that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - Adonai is the same for everyone, rich toward everyone who calls on him, 13 since everyone who calls on the name of Adonai will be delivered.

You must call on the name of the Yeshua HaMaschiach, believing in him and in his sacrifice for YOUR sins.

John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:14 The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh'Khinah, the Sh'kinah of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.

1 Tim 3:16 Great beyond all question is the formerly hidden truth underlying our faith; He was manifested physically and proved righteous spiritually, seen by angels and proclaimed among the nations, trusted throughout the world and raised up in glory to heaven.

Yeshua was The Word, the "arm" of YHWH; not a separate "person" but an aspect of God who was sent in the Flesh to reveal Yahweh and His ways and commands/divine teachings, and to personally demonstrate how to worship the Father via His Torah (five Books of Moses). His earthly body which died on our behalf was the "Son" who came and died for your sins. He did not come to replace Yahweh or to "abolish" Yahweh's divine teaching/instruction, as so many seem to think.

Ephesians 2: 8 For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God's gift. 9 You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore no one should boast.

There is nothing we can do to earn salvation. We are saved only by the grace of God.

1 John 5: 11 And this is the witness: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God do not have the life. 13 I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life - you who keep trusting in the person and power of the Son of God.

Once you receive Yeshua, believe in him, that He was sacrificed for your sins, and rose again never to die, you KNOW you are saved.

Many will tell you that you have to say a "sinner's prayer" in order to receive Christ, but that is not what the Bible says. Your BELIEF is all that counts! Prayer is simply an affirmation of your belief; it is an important part of your Messianic life, but it has nothing to do with salvation. If you are trusting in a prayer or other "act" then you are not trusting in Messiah.

What must you do to be saved? Simply believe in Yahweh's completed work and rely completely on Him for your salvation. Once you do this, you will "become "hungry" for His Word and begin to realize that you want to do all you can to please Him. For those who truly want to change their lives from the inside-out, this will lead into a hunger for Yahweh's Torah which contains several "forever" commands.
