HOW TO BE SAVED!

A – ADMIT YOU ARE A SINNER

Read Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

You are a sinner and your sin separates you from God.

Everyone, including you and I, have sinned in the past and continue to sin in the future putting us in desperate need for God’s forgiveness and grace.

B – BELIEVE IN JESUS

Read Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Read 2 Corinthians 5:21 – For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Read Romans 5:8 but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for you because of your sins. You deserve punishment (death or eternal separation from God) for what you have done, but Jesus took your punishment instead.

God’s motivation behind sacrificing his Son is because of his unconditional love for you. God loves you no matter what you do.

You may read John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Salvation is a free gift from God. We did nothing to earn it, so we cannot do anything to lose it.

This gift of eternal life is not a license to sin, but rather it is a license to serve God and to show our appreciation for the free gift of salvation.

C – CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD

Read Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

You must make a verbal confession with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. You must acknowledge not that Jesus is simply a good man, a great teacher, or even a great prophet. You must agree that JESUS IS GOD!

You must truly believe in your heart that Jesus was raised from the dead. He is alive right now and wants to live in your heart.

Read Romans 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 

Are you ready to give your life to Jesus and ask Him to enter in your life right now? If you are ready, say this prayer or one similar to it with all your heart to God.

“Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner. I ask you to forgive me. I trust in you, Lord, as my only Lord and Savior. I give my life to You. Come into my heart and save me right now. Transform me and take full control of my life. In Your Name, Amen.”
