(Key scriptures taken from ROMANS, New King James Version)

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of GOD.

Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 5:8
But GOD demonstrates HIS own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:9
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.

Romans 10:10
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:13
For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

You must first have a repentant heart in order to be saved. This is only the beginning of salvation. You must make a commitment to live a life that pleases GOD.
