What must we do to be saved?

According to Scripture, we must do something to be saved.
Keep Commandments
Matthew 19:16-18


King James Version (KJV)

16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Forgive others

Matthew 6:15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Fatherforgive your trespasses.

Add Virtue to Faith

2 Peter 1:5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;....8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Avoid Sin

1 Corinthians 6:8-10

King James Version (KJV)

8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.



And many other things we must do besides, Baptism, Eucharist, etc.

Any questions?


Sincerely,

De Maria
