The Road to Salvation
You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. There is just one thing that separates you from God. That one thing is sin.
Why does
any person need to be saved?
Because we have all done things that we should not have done, and we need
to be forgiven of our sins by Jesus Christ. Rom. 3:23 says, "For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Because we need to have a spiritual relationship with God, and we can only have such a relationship by receiving the spiritual birth from Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 3:3, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Because there is a heaven and a hell, and we can only go to heaven through the power of Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes unto the Father but by me."
Because we are going to die some day, and only Jesus Christ can give us eternal life. Jesus said in John 11:25-26, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die."
How does
a person become saved?
By admitting that they have sinned, and praying to Jesus, and asking Him for
forgiveness. Rom. 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of
the Lord shall be saved." By repenting of their sins. This means to desire
to serve God instead of serving sinful self-interest. Jesus said in Luke
13:3, "except you repent, you shall all likewise perish."
By believing on
the Lord Jesus Christ, who was born of the virgin, who died for the sins of
the world, who rose from the dead on the third day, and who will come again.
Rom. 10:9 says, "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved."
A Prayer
of Repentance
Dear Lord, I know I have sinned and done wrong. I am willing to turn away
from those sins and do whatever you ask me to do. I know that you died on
the cross for me and I know that you were raised from the dead. I ask you
to come into my life today and take control. Please forgive me of my sins
and help me turn completely toward you. I receive you as my Lord and Savior
right now. If I died today, I know I would go to heaven to be with you. In
Jesus' name.
Amen
Now you are asking yourself the question,
"Where do I go from here?"
