Salvation is an offer/response plan--God's offer and our response.

#1 GRACE  Ephesians 2:4-5: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved."

#2 JESUS  Acts 4:12: "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."  

#3  FAITH  Ephesians 2:8: "For by grace you have been saved through faith.  And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."  

#4  BELIEF  Mark 16:16: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."  

#5  REPENTANCE  Acts 3:19: "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out."  

#6  CONFESSION  Romans 10:10: "For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."  

#7  BAPTISM  1 Peter 3:21: "Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ."  

#8  OBEDIENCE  1 Corinthians 15:1-2: "Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you--unless you believed in vain."
