Get SAVED based on self preservation?

NO.

Set a field on fire and every venomous snake will runaway from that.

The question is NOT "Do you want to go to heaven?" or "Do you want to escape HELL?"

The question is, has God so worked in your heart that you WANT GOD?

Everyone would like to go to heaven, even the devil would like to go back to Heaven, just as long as he didn't have to bend his knee to GOD.

Do you see that you have no merit in yourself? SALVATION is a gift to you based only on the work someone else did for you. You just have receive that gift.
