How can one be saved?

There is NO greater question than this in life! What is true salvation? How does one know that they are saved?

You would think with these questions being as critical as they are we would have an abundance of books on Christian bookshelves that answer this question (as best as possible that is).

I have seven such books (I know of a few others). That is all, less than a dozen! How can this be?

Is it no wonder that true salvation is no longer preached from our pulpits?

We are more concerned about our fragile self-esteem than where we will spend eternity!!
Mankind is truly prideful and worships himself as god.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
NKJV Romans 1:18-25

May God correct our preaching that we may again Preach true salvation from our Pulpits and may God be truly glorified by it!!
