We can't "
save ourselves." We can do nothing without the Lord Jesus Christ. We must all come to the cross.
John 14:6 (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus came to be the light and the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. That through his precious blood our sins would be covered for all those whom have TRUE FAITH and believe in him.
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
After salvation, we are His disciples who should obey and follow him and produce fruit. TRUE LIFE-SAVING FAITH produces fruit it is not barren.
Faith alone saves but faith that saves is not alone!
John 14:15 (KJV)
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
James 1:22 (KJV)
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
