Bible Lesson 19
How can we be saved?
By faith in the Son of God
Most religions claim that you need to do something in order to make things right with the supernatural authorities. Some claim sacrifices, others good actions… even the typical American cultural religion vaguely says that you have to “be a good person” or “be true to yourself” or something like that.
But Christianity says that the work has been done for us, by Jesus Christ, and that we can never save ourselves. We can only be saved by putting our faith in the Savior!
St. Jerome Kneeling, by Rembrandt, 1630

Salvos por la fe
Efesios 2
(8) Porque por gracia ustedes han sido salvados mediante la fe; esto no procede de ustedes, sino que es el regalo de Dios, (9) no por obras, para que nadie se jacte. (10) Porque somos hechura de Dios, creados en Cristo Jesús para buenas obras, las cuales Dios dispuso de antemano a fin de que las pongamos en práctica.
Romanos 10
(8)Ésta es la palabra de fe que predicamos: (9) que si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo levantó de entre los muertos, serás salvo. (10) Porque con el corazón se cree para ser justificado, pero con la boca se confiesa para ser salvo. (11) Así dice la Escritura: «Todo el que confíe en él no será jamás defraudado.»

Saved by faith
Ephesians 2
For by grace you have been saved, through faith; this does not come from yourselves, but it is the gift of God, not by works, so that nobody can boast. Because we are the work of God, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God planned beforehand so that we would put them into practice.
Romans 10
This is the word of faith that we preach: that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and you believe in your heart that God raised him from among the dead, you will be saved. Because with the heart one believes to be justified, but with the mouth one confessed to be saved. Thus says the Scripture: “All those who trust in him will not ever be disappointed.”
