SALVATION IS FREE, AND ETERNAL.
Knowing about God does not grant you salvation.
Having FAITH in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour does.
The problem: Every man is a sinner. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The wages of that sin is death. Spiritual death is eternal separation from God.
The penalty: That sin has to be paid for. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission. God does not overlook sin. He is holy and His holiness demands a payment.
The payment: Jesus Christ came to earth, lived a sinless life, and took the full penalty of sin upon Himself on the cross. His blood is the payment. He did what no man could do for himself.
The gift: Salvation is not earned. It is received. By grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works.
The response: Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and thou shalt be saved.
The result: Your sins are forgiven, your soul is secured, and you are promised eternity in the Kingdom of God.
This is salvation in the Word of God. It is not a religion, it is a person.
His name is Jesus Christ.What God is looking for is a heart that believes Jesus Christ is Lord, acknowledgment of being a sinner in need of a Saviour, and a call on His name in faith.
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
