Our debt of all sin is forgiven - we are made alive, receive eternal life, made new creations, justified before God, given the Holy Spirit, our name is in the Book of Life, and we are guaranteed an eternal inheritance and have hope in the reality of Heaven.

What is the message by which people can be saved?

The message of the Gospel.

Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."
