Why do we need to be saved?
A Christians' response is to know that there is a Love in such abundance that one person no matter how lowly or great, will not have to feel lonely, lost, and without direction. Is this you? Maybe not, How about this then -- are you big, tuff, or full of pride and everything is going just great -- or is it? Isn't there still emptiness? Isn't it sad that you cannot find any peace? You may not be able to rest. You may think that satisfaction is in an another drink or another fix. Maybe you need to be the center of attention or control things and people.
What if I tell you that Jesus is the cure to all that and even what is not in the paragraph above. Your situation maybe different or worse.
This is how you can be saved and receive Jesus:
To Salvation!
A -- ADMIT that YOU are a sinner.
Everyone has done things that are displeasing to a Holy God.
Romans 3:23:
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" God tells us that no sin can enter heaven. Something must be done to get rid of your sin.
Revelation 21:27:
"And there shall in no wise enter into it (heaven) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
B -- BELIEVE that Jesus died on the cross for YOU.
Jesus shed his blood to save YOU from YOUR sins. He took YOUR place on the cross, and suffered punishment for YOUR sin.
1 Peter 2:24:
"Who His own self (Jesus) bore our sins in His own body on the tree (cross) that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness."
Colossians 1:14:
"In Whom we have redemption (salvation) through His (Jesus') blood, even the forgiveness of sins."
Acts 16:31:
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
C -- CONFESS your sinfulness to God, and turn from it.
Tell God you're sorry for your sins and that you believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Savior from sin. This may be a simple but sincere cry from your heart, or it may be expressed out loud.
Luke 18:13:
"God be merciful to me a sinner."
Romans 10:13:
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
When you do this (and mean it!) you are "saved."
You, along with all the others who believe in Jesus,
will spend eternity in heaven with Him.
IF YOU BELIEVE YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST
IN YOUR LIFE, SAY THIS PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died on the cross and paid the ultimate price for my sins. I believe Jesus' blood was shed to cleanse my sins away and I accept Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal savior. In Jesus' name I pray.
AMEN
IF YOU SAID THIS PRAYER AND MEANT IT. GOD BLESS YOU! THIS IS YOUR DAY OF SALVATION, YOUR NAME HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE. REJOICE AND TELL SOMEONE THAT YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST AND NOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH CHRIST.
NOW THAT YOUR A CHRISTIAN
YOU MAY ASK NOW WHAT DO I DO?

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God ROMANS 10:17 |
| PRAY TO GOD |
Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything; tell God your needs AND DON'T forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7 |

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5 |
