What must I do to be saved?

What must I do to be saved?

That is a question, that really leaves alot of other questions.....


The number one thing that would come to most Christians mind is 

Romans 10:9-10
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. 
 
I feel it's vitally important to understand the whole concept of Salvation and repentance....
Is it a one time thing? 
Is it a process? 
How long does it take? 
Is there a difference between Salvation and repentance?
If so which one comes first and why?

I think in today's church world we are going Thur the motions of the sinners prayer and telling people they are saved....When we actually we are doing more damage to them then we are good....#1 is the bible says in 
Matthew 24:13
But he that  shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

 The word salvation or saved comes from the Hebrew meaning to be delivered from, or the deliver. 
So with that being understood, now we have answered some questions...Salvation is not a one  time thing it is a process that we must walk Thur in our relationship with Christ daily as the scripture declares in 

1 Corinthians 15:31
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

Basically the writer was saying I"m saved or delivered daily from the manifestation of the carnal desires.
but wait....what gets me to the step of Salvation or deliverance...that is what must be accomplished in the heart and the lives of all of us....My friend that is what we call repentance and yes this is not salvation, but this is the doorway to salvation or deliverance. Let's take some time and look at these two words:
Repentance:  10= letters 10 is the number of  perfection
of divine order (the desire for change)
Salvation: 9= letters 9 is the number of Judgement or the administer of justice The Holy Ghost
(to be delivered from )
10+9=19
19 is the number of Faith and faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1
So see when you put repentance working with Salvation you produce the substance of  things you hope for and the evidence of  things you have not seen....OK it's alright now to take a few minutes and shout......

But wait......Please we are still looking at the question 
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 
One day I woke up and God kept putting this in my spirit, and like all other Christians I kept coming back with Romans 10:9 and God  kept coming back with....
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
At this point I realized I was not giving him the response he was wanting and I begin to question him...Finally God spoke to my spirit and said "LISTEN" and he began to drop things into my spirit such as....
Matthew 6:12
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Luke 11:4
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Matthew 6:15
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses


Now friend I ask you to pay close attention as this will alter the course of your life ....I took the liberty to underline various parts of the verses above...read and pay close attention to the underlined area....and then ask yourself what Must I do to be saved or delivered.....?
Now let's do to the words Salvation and Saved that we done to repentance and Salvation:
Salvation: 9=letters  9 is the number of Judgement or the administer of justice the Holy Ghost
(to be delivered from )
Saved: 5=letters and 5 is the number of Grace
9+5=14
14 is the number Deliverance and Salvation 
now if we add 
forgive 7=letters  7 is the number of spiritual perfection and revelation. so now if you take 7+5+9=21 
and 21 is the number of redemption, and if you really want to make it interesting you can take all the numbers together adding them....
10+9+9+5+7=40
And 40 is the number of Trials, Probation, and testing
Now be real with yourself what is more testing in your life than a 
time where you have to forgive someone that has wronged you.
