"Why do I need to be saved?"

Why do I need to be saved? | GotQuestions.org

Saved from Hell

  1. we can't save ourselves rom3:23

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

-meaning god is perfectly good and if he allowed us to break the law and walk away scott free the law would have no meaning. So therefore there must be rules and we cant get in because we are not holy but we are guilty sinners

  1. without salvation we are condemned already john3:18

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

  1. if you are condemned you will spend eternity separated from god 2pet2:4+9

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Saved from you

  1. we are slaves to sin rom 2:14-15

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

yet we are slaves to sin rom 3:9

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
