The Saving Truth

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)

We are saved by the grace of God.
We are saved by the grace of God through faith.
We are saved by the grace of God through faith in the truth.
And this is the truth that saves - Christ died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3).

After he had suffered, he also presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3 CSB)

Many people have faith in things that are not true or in things that are not provable. Religions are actually the biggest scam in the world because the solutions provided by religions do not have grounding in truth. Many religious leaders popped suddenly into history claiming to be somebody and having a solution that saves without proving that the solution is true. But Jesus proved that He is truly the Son of God and that He is able to save by His resurrection.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:17-22 NIV)

The Bible never teaches that doing good will save you. The Bible teaches that you are saved by believing in the truth, the saving truth, the historical event that Christ had died for our sin.

Adam did not go to hell for being a murderer, or a robber or a rapist. He was never any of those. He was a much much better person than many of us. He went to hell for not believing in the truth. Where he is, you will be, if you also do not believe in the saving truth.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32 KJV)
