The Gospel:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
"15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

Revelation 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."

Requirements to be saved:

Romans 10:9-13 King James Version (KJV)
"9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Luke 13:3 King James Version (KJV)
" I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

John 3:3
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

John 1:12
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"

Evidence You truly got saved:

2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
"For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;"

The following five evidences of salvation are described in the New Testament:

a. A conversion experience (Matthew 18:3; John 3:3)
b. Love for God’s Word (John 8:47)
c. Love of righteousness (1 John 2:3-4)
d. God’s chastening (Hebrews 12:6-8)
e. Looking for Christ’s return (Hebrews 9:28)

3. Jesus warned that it is possible to “believe” without being saved.

a. In John 2:23-25, the people believed on Christ because of the miracles, but they did not believe savingly. Had they believed savingly, Christ would have “committed himself to them.” Even the devils “believe,” but they do not have saving faith (James 2:19). The Jews in John 2 did not believe on Jesus as Lord and Saviour; they believed on Him as a “a prophet” (John 6:14), as a miracle worker and a provider of their physical needs (John 6:26-27), and as one who would deliver them from the power of Rome, which was their concept of the Messiah: a political deliver rather than a personal Saviour from sin. That they were not true believers is evident in that they turned away from Christ because of His preaching (John 6:60). In contrast to these false disciples, Peter refused to turn away even when the “going got rough,” because he had genuine saving faith (John 6:67-69).

b. In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus warned that many of those who call on Him as “Lord, Lord” will be false Christians. We see from the testimony of the people in verse 22 that they trust their works and their “sign gifts” rather than trusting Christ’s blood alone for salvation. Christianity today is filled with people who profess Christ but who are trusting their baptism, their church, priests, sacraments, sincerity, social-justice activity, etc.

4. When we say there is evidence of salvation, we are not saying there will be some sort of sinless perfection. That there is evidence of salvation does not mean that every believer will change at the same rate or bear the same fruit (Mat. 13:23). The believer still has the “old man” that he inherited from Adam, and the Christian life is a process of putting off the old man and putting on the new man, which is Christ (Eph. 2:22-24). Some believers are more passionate in living for Christ than others. We are not saying there will be a “total transformation”; we are saying that there will be at least some sort of transformation!

Jesus is worthy of our faith. We do not need to be afraid. Everything was created by Him and for Him, and in Him all things are held together. He has overcome death and hades for all who repent and trust in Him. We just need to call on His name! Turn to Jesus and live.

Revelation 1: https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rev/1/1/s_1168001

1 John 2:15-3:3

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life. 26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

"If our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them.” [2Cor 4:3,4]

He blinds the minds of unbelievers through hiding the light of the Gospel of Christ, and he does this by substituting HIS OWN GOSPEL. Appropriately is he designated “The Devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world” (Rev. 12:9). In merely appealing to “the best that is within man,” and in simply exhorting him to “lead a nobler life” there is afforded a general platform upon which those of every shade of opinion can unite and proclaim this common message.

Again we quote Proverbs 14:12—”There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” It has been said with considerable truth that the way to Hell is paved with good intentions. There will be many in the Lake of Fire who commended life with good intentions, honest resolutions and exalted ideals—those who were just in their dealings, fair in their transactions and charitable in all their ways; men who prided themselves in their integrity but who sought to justify themselves before God by their own righteousness; men who were moral, merciful and magnanimous, but who never saw themselves as guilty, lost, hell-deserving sinners needing a Saviour.

Such is the way which “seemeth right.” Such is the way that commends itself to the carnal mind and recommends itself to multitudes of deluded ones today. The Devil’s Delusion is that we can be saved by our own works, and justified by our own deeds; whereas, God tells us in His Word : “By grace are ye saved through faith. ..not of works lest any man should boast.” And again, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” (Titus 3:5)
