“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 
Romans 10:13, King James Version. 

What does it mean to be saved?  How can I be saved?  These are the most important questions in life.  The answer to these questions determine where you will spend eternity.  The Bible teaches that you must “call” upon the Lord to be saved.  If you want to be saved, you must C.A.L.L.

3. Reality is that in spite of your sin, God loves you. 
4. Reality is that because of your sin, Jesus died for you.  He took upon Himself the punishment of your sin. 
5. Reality is that Jesus rose from the dead defeating sin and providing victory to you if you have faith and believe.
