8 For by grace you have been saved, through the Faith*—and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one may boast.

31 So they said, "Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ* and you will be saved, you and your household."

31 So they said, "Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ* and you will be saved, you and your household."

12 Also, the salvation* way. does not exist in anyone else, because there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved."

21 And it will be: whoever calls on the name of the Lord*

will be saved!’

6 Jesus says to him: "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through me.*

16 Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.*

12 But, as many as did receive Him,* to them He gave the right to become children of God,* one by receiving Christ. Presumably ‘receiving’ is a conscious act. Each of my two children did this when four years old. to those who believe into His name:*’ (Greek εν) Jesus or His name; always it reads ‘believe into’ (Greek εις). People believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the goodness of man, or whatever, but it makes no difference in their lives. Many millions of people say they ‘believe in Jesus’, but it makes no difference in their lives either. You have to believe into Him—commitment and identification are involved, that go along with the change in location, from being outside to being inside. As Jesus Himself said in John 6:53-56, you have to "eat" His flesh and "drink" His blood. If you eat something your body assimilates it, it becomes part of you.

17 so then, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old things have passed on; look, all has become new!*

3 Jesus answered and said to him,* "Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten from Above,* he is not able to see* the kingdom of God."

3 and said: "Assuredly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of the heavens.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never ever be wasted; and no one will snatch them out of my hand.*

36 The one believing into the Son has eternal life, but the one disobeying* the Son will not see the Life, but the wrath of God will remain upon him."*

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

22 For as all in Adam are dying, so also all in the Christ will be made alive.*

27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; because all things are possible with God."

27 And He said, "The things that are impossible with men are possible with God."

10 because the Son of the Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

47 Because that is just how the Lord has commanded us:

‘I have set you to be a light for ethnic nations,

that you should be for salvation

up to the last place on earth.’ "*

13 "Go in through the narrow gate; because wide is the gate and broad is the way which leads away into perdition, and those who are going in through it are many. 14 How narrow is the gate and confined the way which leads away into life, and those who are finding it are few!*" find the way of life. He Himself makes clear that to travel the way of life requires commitment to the Owner of that ‘way’. Perhaps 1% of the Greek manuscripts have the weaker "Because narrow…", as in KJV and NKJV.

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,* nor catamites,* nor sodomites, 10 nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the abusive, nor swindlers can inherit the Kingdom of God, absolutely.

52 So Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has healed you." And immediately he could see, and followed Jesus on the road.
