Bible Question: So, what do we need to "know [about] God" to avoid the penalty and be saved? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Odaat... Welcome to the forum! In order to be saved it is clear from the Scriptures that there is some minimal amount of information that a person must have (Romans 10:14). Fundamentally, one must believe the gospel. Yet, the gospel itself has a large number of tacit elements. When the apostles spread the gospel to Jews, most of these facts were already understood. However, when they gave the gospel to pagans, much had to be explained (e.g., Acts 17:22ff). If you are seeking to be saved, I can recommend nothing better than the following: http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/2wtl/ If you are asking a purely theological question, I'd have to say that there is a minimum set of things to know, nevertheless we do not have them exhaustively quantified in Scripture. The likely answer is that it varies by individual. However, that written, we know that those who are saved believe God, taking Him at His Word, and submitting to the authority of Jesus as Lord. In Him, Doc |
