FAQs Mondays: Who Will Be Saved?

Due to a problem with my internet, I didn't post a FAQs Monday post last week. The question we investigated two weeks ago was, "What does Jesus' death accomplish?" We learned that it accomplished a lot. You can read that post here. Now, we turn to answering the question, "Who will be saved?"

Who will be saved?

Only those who repent of sin and believe in Christ.

What is it to repent?

To be sorry for sin, and hate and reject it because it is displeasing to God.

What is it to believe or have faith in Christ?

To trust in Christ alone for salvation.

Can you repent and believe in Christ by your own power?

No; I can do nothing good without God's Holy Spirit.

How can you receive the Holy Spirit?

God has told us that we must ask him for the Holy Spirit.

These questions and answers teach us that those who turn from sin and put their faith in Jesus will be saved. However, we cannot turn to Jesus in faith and repentance without the help of the Holy Spirit. God is merciful to answer us when we call out to him. Next week, we will answer the question, "How did God's people get saved before Jesus?".
