How can I be saved?
De Bijbel leert dat iemand gered wordt door op Jezus Christus te vertrouwen: geloven dat Hij voor je zonden stierf en opstond, je van de zonde afkeren en op Hem steunen en niet op je eigen goedheid. Redding wordt als gave ontvangen, niet verdiend.

Scripture is direct about this. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Salvation comes through faith in Christ.
This faith is more than agreeing to facts; it includes turning away from sin (repentance) and entrusting yourself to Jesus as Lord. It is not a reward for being good enough — “by grace you have been saved through faith … it is the gift of God, not by works” (Ephesians 2:8–9).
If you want to respond, you can do so simply and honestly: admit your need, believe that Jesus died and rose for you, and ask him to forgive you and lead your life. The promise of John 3:16 is for anyone who believes.
