God." - Romans 3:23 |

Love for us, in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should

believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess
and are saved." - Romans 10:9-10 |

7. The result - Salvation. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
WILL BE SAVED." - Romans 10:13 "Salvation is found in no one else, for
there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be
saved." - Acts 4:12
