Jesus Coming into the world to saves us:
Matthew 1:20-21 20 "But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit, 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins."
Luke 1:76-79 " 76 And you, my child will be called a prophet of the most high; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him, 77 to give His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from Heaven 79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death to guide our feet into the path of peace."
^This was a prophesy to John the Baptist (The prophet who prepared the way for Jesus)
Luke 19:10 "For the son of man came to seek and to save what was lost."
2 Cor. 5:21 "For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made righteous of God in Him."
John 3:14-18 "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only son."

Acts 13:38-39 " 38 Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses."
Romans 1:16 "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.."
Romans 3:21-26 " 21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from the law, has been made known, to which the Law and the prophets testify. 22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in HIs blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in His forbearance He had left the sons committed beforehand unpunished 26 He did it to demonstrate His justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. "
Romans 10:4 "Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Romans 10:8-14 " 8 But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith, we are proclaiming. 9 Thar if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame," 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, 13 for "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?"
1 Corinthians 15:1-2 " 1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

A New Creation
2 Corinthians 5:17-6:2 " 17 Therefore, if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciliating the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against Him. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as through God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: be reconciled to God. 21 God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the be justified."
Galations 2: 20-21 " 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in my body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!

Ephesians 2:1-10 " 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of the world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the Heavenly realms in Christ Jesus , 7 in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - 9 not by works, so that no one can boast ."
1 Thessalonians 5:8-10 " 8 But since we belong to the day, lt us be self controlled, putting on faith and love as a breast plate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him."
2 Thessalonians 2:13 " 13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter."
1 Timothy 1:15-16 " 15 Here is a trustworthy saying,that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7 " 3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and inslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our savior appeared, 5 He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our savior, 7 so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."
