For God So Loved the World – John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Believe in Christ
Everything Is Possible – Mark 9:23
To the one who believes, and does not doubt, everything is possible. But this is not a free pass to be used at our own discretion. Instead Jesus affirms that He is able to do anything for the one who believes in him. Nothing that God calls us to do will be impossible for the one who believes.
Belief Credited as Righteousness – Romans 4:3
Abraham is the example of salvation by faith and not by works. Abraham believed God’s promise to him, and God counted it to him as righteousness.
Come Down from the Cross – Matthew 27:42

Humanity is a lost and fallen race, unable to do anything to please God, condemned to perish. But God loves us, and not just some of us, but the whole world, everyone in it. God gave his Son, Jesus, to be an atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. And anyone who believes in Jesus is delivered from destruction and given eternal life.
Believe in the Lord Jesus – Acts 16:30-31
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” – Acts 16:30-31 NIV The Philippian jailed asked “what must I do to be saved?” And in one form or another it is a question that every believer, and some unbelievers, have asked.
