How to be saved, simplified

 Q: Why do you love the Lord Jesus?

A: Because He first loved me and rescued me.

Q: What do you mean by "He rescued me"?

A: Have you ever told a lie?

Q: Yes.

A: Have you ever stolen something?

Q: Yes.

A: Then what does that make you?

Q: I suppose a liar and a thief; if I am honest about my actions.

A: Right! Then you are a sinner, and sinners will

receive just recompense. In other words, they will be judged on Judgment Day by

the Creator of the universe.

Q: Who is that?

A: The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Q: So how do I avoid that judgment?

A: Believe with all your heart that the Lord Jesus died on a cruel, rugged cross. He was crucified as a sinner yet was without sin; He never breached one of God's commandments. God became a man (Jesus), born of a virgin (Mary), and He lived on earth for 33 years, giving hope to the weak and sickly. He was tried as a sinner, found guilty, and then crucified. On the third day, God raised Him from the dead. Now that He has paid the price for sinners, we need to be covered by His act, His righteousness, to escape God's judgment. It is coming. If we confess our sins, acknowledge that we need forgiveness, and cry out to the Lord Jesus, believing that He paid the price for our sins and that God raised Him from the dead, and we are willing to confess that with our mouths, we will be saved. In other words, we will escape the judgment that will come upon all men and women who reject this gift of grace from God.

"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.  For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:9-11)
