What must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:30; NLT).
We cannot earn salvation:
We can only follow Jesus.
We can’t avoid temptation:
We can only cling to faith.
We can’t demand forgiveness:
We can only plead for mercy.
We can’t escape Christ’s judgement:
We can only seek His face.
Seek His face evermore! (Psalm 105:4; KJV).
They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads (Revelation 22:4; NLT).
