Salvation

The Bible teaches:

  • To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, “you must be born again.” (John 3:3)
  • All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:3)
  • “God is not willing that anyone should perish”. (2 Pet. 3:9, 1 Tim. 2:4)
  • There is only one way to God the Father – through Jesus Christ. He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6, Acts 4:12)
  • It’s impossible to save yourself – it is by God’s grace (undeserved favor) that we are saved through faith in His Son Jesus Christ, not by our own works. (Eph. 2:8-9)
  • He sent His Son Jesus into the world to save the world, not to condemn the world. (John 3:16-17) God is not angry with you. He loves you!
  • Jesus became sin for us so that we could be reconciled to God and become new creations (born again) in Christ Jesus (2 Cor. 5:17-21)
  • In order to be saved you must “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 16:30-31) and repent of (to be truly sorry and turn away from) your sins. (2 Pet. 3:9)
  • The way that you do this is by confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. (Rom. 10:9-10, Rom. 10:13)

 

Pray this Prayer:

  • If you’re not sure that you are born again and you want to be.
  • If you can’t remember a time when you confessed with your mouth (prayed out loud) to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
  • If you’re tired of trying to live your life in your own strength and you’re ready to let Jesus show you a better way.
  • If you want to be set free from the fear of death, hell, and the grave. (Heb. 2:9b and 2:14-15)
“Heavenly Father, I come to You today to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior.  I believe You sent Jesus to die for me. I believe You raised Him from the dead.  Jesus, please come into my life and save me.  I turn away from my sin and I ask You to forgive me now of all unrighteousness.  I confess You as my Savior and Lord.  I am trusting You completely as the only hope of my salvation.  Thank You for saving me. I want to live for You for the rest of my life as You teach me.  In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!”
