The Apostle Paul explains, in this lesson, that the question “What must I do to be saved?” has had different answers throughout Scripture because God’s requirements have changed across dispensations. In past ages under the law, salvation involved faith plus works, including sacrifices, circumcision, and water baptism. But after Israel’s fall, God revealed through Paul the gospel of grace, in which salvation today is by grace through faith alone, completely apart from works. The only response God requires now is to believe the gospel—that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again.
