Salvation is a gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ. According to Romans and Ephesians, this faith is what saves us, as it is written that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our own works. The apostle Paul and other New Testament writers emphasize the importance of believing in Jesus, as seen in Acts, where it is stated that believing in the Lord Jesus will bring salvation. Additionally, John's Gospel highlights God's love for the world, demonstrated by giving His only Son, and Acts teaches that repentance and baptism are also essential steps in the process of salvation, as seen in the response of those who asked Peter what they must do to be saved.

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
