Salvation is based upon faith alone in Christ alone.  That is our part in salvation.  It takes only seconds to determine your eternal future with God.  Jesus Christ died for every sin we have committed, are committing right now, or will commit.  When we place our trust in Him, our sins are forgiven and we are placed in Him.  Nothing else is necessary in order to attain an eternal relationship with God. Now, I know that the world is filled with individuals and organizations which would love to put you into bondage to works of some sort.  Furthermore, they will quote a verse here or there to support their evil doctrine of salvation by faith+works.  So, I have collected all of the verses which I could find in the Bible to indicate that salvation is obtained by faith only.  We should expect there to be a lot of verses, as this is our first and only meaningful act as an unbeliever.  Right click on Salvation (PDF) and choose save linke as; or simply click on Salvation (HTML) if you want a rundown of those verses.  This is an 11 page document, so don't expect a half-dozen proof texts. If you want a short version, see my abbreviated "To the Unbeliever"   [HTML]   [PDF] Also, if you are an unbeliever, see this warning   [HTML]   [PDF]; it is a different sort of warning than you might expect.
