The ONLY requirement for ANY person to be saved for all eternity is BELIEVING on the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ ALONE for the remission of all their sins and eternal life! (BELIEVING that The Eternally Existing Son of God, God The Son, Jesus Christ died for ALL their sins past, present & future, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd Day according to the Scriptures for their justification). (1st Corinthians 15:1-4)
“For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would BELIEVE in Him would not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
“BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ and you WILL be saved.” (Acts 16:31) “Verily, verily I say unto you he who BELIEVES in Me HAS everlasting life.” (John 6:47)
“For it is by GRACE you have been SAVED through FAITH. This is not of yourselves. It is the GIFT of God. Not of works lest any man should BOAST.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
BOTTOM LINE:
If a person trusts in Christ ALONE for salvation, they are saved forever the NANOSECOND they trust in Christ ALONE & CAN NEVER LOSE THEIR SALVATION!!!!
And, conversely, if a person fails to trust in Christ ALONE for salvation, they remain in their sins, unregenerate, and UNsaved.
It is just as simple as that…
