The Gospel (Good News) - This is a portion of the pdf "All Salvation Notes" by The Living Word 

= 3 historical facts that you must believe, and go on believing to the end, in order to be saved.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, otherwise you have believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures ..." 

Faith in Jesus' work on the cross and in His resurrection allows the Holy Spirit to dwell in us (Romans 8:9) because we are sanctified by faith, and then the power of God is at work in us (Romans 1:16).

A few other New Testament Scriptures confirming that salvation depends on believing in Jesus to the end: 

Jude 1:5 "Now I desire to remind you ... that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe."

Colossians 1:22-23 "yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel ..."

Mark 13:13 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved."
