The Holy Father sent his only begotten Son to the world, so that with his death on the cross and his holy blood he would cleanse us of all sin and we could enter heaven and enjoy eternal life.
By our own efforts we can never be forgiven, since no rite, promise, offering or sacrifice is accepted by God for the forgiveness of sins and salvation.
"This is the word we preach: that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
Throughout the history of mankind, man has tried to ensure his entry into heaven by practicing countless customs, rites, dogmas, traditions, idolatry and superstitions, wanting to replace what Jesus Christ says in the Holy Scriptures: "I am the way , the truth and the life, nobody goes to the Father but for me ". John 14-6.
Salvation is a gift from God, we do not have to do anything to receive it, only to recognize Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
In fact, in no other is there salvation, because there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved.Acts 4:12
Only in God does my soul rest;
from him comes my salvation.
Psalm 62: 1
In truth, God has manifested to all mankind his grace, which brings salvation and teaches us to reject worldly impiety and passions. In this way we can live in this world with justice, piety and self-control. Titus 2: 11-12
