Are You Saved?
Do you know what that means? Saved is church words for Salvation: having believed by faith that Jesus Christ is Lord over your life.
Why is salvation important? Accepting Jesus as the Lord over your life allows your sins to be covered by his death. As a result, you no longer have to fear death because allowing Jesus to cover your sins provides you with eternal life and protection from your sins (with repentance). Christians believe without accepting Jesus your eternal resting place will be in hell (Matthew 25:31-34; 41)
What Christians Believe
Christians believe God sent His only son, Jesus, in human flesh to die as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, was raised from the dead and seated in heaven with God, his father.Romans Road to Salvation

Romans 5:12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Romans 6:23a For the wages of sin is deathProvision: The cross of Jesus Christ
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 6:23b but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.Promise: Eternal Life
Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
