A man asked a very important question,'What must I do to be saved?' (Acts16 v 30),JWs,believe door knocking witnessing will do the trick. Moslems are required to follow the ,'Pillars of Islam,'Faith in Alllah,prayer,charity,fasting,and pilgrimage to Mecca(if possible).Many people believe that if they are reasonably good people God will accept them.Does this answer the question,'what must I do to be saved?' no it doesn't ,the answer to the question is this,'Believe in the Lord Jesus,and you will be saved',(Acts 16 v31) Yes faith in Jesus alone can save you,nothing else,it is only through His death on the cross is it possible to be saved.because it is only through His death on the cross that can deal with sin.In Hebrews 9 v22 we read,' that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.'(CP Lev 8 v15/17 v11) As one writer puts it,'According to the Bible, forgivenes of sins, is tied to the concept of blood sacrifice'.Christ death on Calvary was a sacrifice for our sins,He alone paid the price for our sins to be forgiven when we put our faith in Him. Matt Redman wrote a song here is what it says.
'Who,oh Lord, could save themselves
Their own soul could heal?
Our Shame was deper than the sea,
Your grace is deeper still
You alone can rescue ,you alone can save,You alone can lift us from the grave,
You came down to find us,lead us out of death,to you alone belongs the highest praise.
You ,oh Lord,hath made a way,
For when our hearts were far away.
Your love went further still,
Yes,your love goes further still'
