What About Church (part 3)

3. Do I need to join a church in order to be saved?

No. The Bible teaches us that Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone (see Ephesians 2:8-9). There is not a church in the world that could take anyone to Heaven. If you repent of your sin and trust Christ as your Saviour then you are saved. Many today teach that Salvation is through church membership, or baptism, or by being a good neighbor. But nothing we do could ever merit God’s grace. This is why Jesus came. He came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).
