What Saves Man? A List, But Not a Checklist

What Saves Man? A List, But Not a Checklist

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Simplicity can be great, but not when it robs God’s word of its richness and depth. In Christianity, this can take a few forms, such as, “I’m saved by faith alone,” or in my background, “the five steps to being saved.” (Note: I wouldn’t treat any relationship as a checklist.)

But God has a lot more to say, and it’s nice to let it soak in.  This is just an appetizer, but I found it nice.

  • Man is saved by grace—Ephesians 2:8
  • Man is saved by faith—Acts 16:31
  • Man is saved by mercy—Titus 3:5
