What must we do according to the bible to be saved?

Chapter and verse please.

Update:

Scriptures in the epistles were for people already saved. They should nto be used to tell some one who has not been saved yet. To do so is not rightly dividing the Word of God. Please try again.

Update 2:

    Believe in this gospel to be saved.

    1) Man is a sinner

    2) Christ is the saviour

    3) Christ paid the penalty for your sins on the cross with his death.

    4) Christ rose from the dead.

    1 corinthians15 1-4 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

    3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importancea: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

    John 17:3 says take in knowledge of God, and his son Jesus Christ.

    Acts 3:19 says we repent, turn around (live a godly life) then we get seasons of refreshment from Jehovah.

    Romans 10:10 says with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation. Acts 1:8

    We exercise our faith John 3:16; James 2:26

    We gather together with fellow Christians Hebrews 10:24, 25

    Then we endure to the end with these things Matthew 24:13

    The bible says to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and we will be saved,but there's more to it. We cannot just read that verse and say, I'm, going to become saved. That is not the way it works. ONLY Christ can save us. Nothing we can do on our own will accomplish salvation. Please read...John 10:7-9 and Joel 2:13. Romans 9:13-18 says, God will have mercy on whom he will. Also God is not a respect of persons,( meaning he do not discriminate. ) in 2nd chron. 19:7. God says for all to repent in Acts 17:30. So, my friend All I can tell you to do is get on your knees day and night, and pray and ask the Lord to please have mercy upon you. have mercy upon you. beg him with all your heart and mind. This will not get you saved by the way, But you are knocking at the door for mercy., and if it be God's WILL he will save you.I don't know if you are one of his elect, and you don't know either/ Maybe you are and maybe you aren't,but why take chances? This world is coming to an end on may 21,2011, for those of us who will still be around,by the grace of God. Just pray to him without ceasing. He is merciful! Read Ezekiel 36:25-29.Read John 6:27-40. He loves his own. Pray for his mercy. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless!

    Love God, love people. We can say we believe, and we can confess our faith from the lips of our mouths, but it is the love within our hearts that produces good fruits and saves us.

    Believe that Jesus came to earth to die for your sins, and was raised again. Repent, ask him into your heart and your life. Be baptized, live your life for him, evangelize.
