By grace through faith

1. No mere man, since the fall, is able in this life perfectly to keep the commandments of God, but doth daily break them in thought, word, and deed.
2. Some sins in themselves, and by reason of several aggravations, are more heinous in the sight of God than others.
3. Every sin deserveth God's wrath and curse, both in this life, and that which is to come.
4. To escape the wrath and curse of God, due to us for sin, God requireth of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, with the diligent use of all the outward means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption.
5. Faith in Jesus Christ is a saving grace, whereby we receive and rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is offered to us in the gospel.
6. Reprentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, doth, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience.
7. The outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption are, his ordinances, especially the Word, sacraments, and prayer; all which are made effectual to the elect for salvation.
8. The Spirit of God maketh the reading, but especially the preaching, of the Word, an effectual means of convincing and converting sinners, and of building them up in holiness and comfort, through faith, unto salvation.
9. That the Word may become effectual to salvation, we must attend thereunto with diligence, preparation, and prayer; receive it with faith and love, lay it up in our heats, and practice it in our lives.
10. The sacraments, baptism and the Lord's Supper, become effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue in them, or in him that doth administer them; but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of his Spirit in them that by faith receive them.

What does God's Word say about salvation:

  Romans 3:23 "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...."

  Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

  Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

  Romans 10:13 "...for 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"
