How to be saved
FOUR ESSENTIAL THINGS GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW:
I. You Must First Understand That God Deals With You Based Upon What You Are
- Not What You Do.
(Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:10)
(Not your behavior, but your condition before God. You are a sinner from
birth!)
*All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
II. You Must Secondly Understand How God Chose To Solve Your Problem.
(God solved your problem by sending His Son to die in your place.)
(John 3:16, II Peter 3:9) Not good works - this love is ONLY found in Christ.
*God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
III. You Must Thirdly Understand "You" Have To Make The Choice!
(Stay in your present condition and pay the wages for your own sin; or accept Christ’s
payment and receive His gift of eternal life.)
*Choice #1 - For the wages of sin is death.
*Choice #2 - but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
*For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
IV. Fourth, You Must Accept The Gift Of God, Which Is Found In The Person Of
Jesus Christ.
*If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that
God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one
believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. Romans 10:9-10
Question: Would you like to receive Jesus Christ and be saved?
Please pray this prayer from your heart: Dear God, I know that Jesus is your
Son, that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. Because I have
sinned and need forgiveness, I ask Jesus to come into my heart, forgive me of my
sins and save me. I am willing to change the direction of my life in
acknowledging Jesus as my Lord and Savior by turning away from my sins and
looking toward Him for everything. Thank you for giving me forgiveness, eternal
life, and hope for the future. Now help me to live the rest of my life for you.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
