be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)

sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." (Romans 5:8-9)

in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." (John 11:25)
