TAKE THESE IMPORTANT STEPS OF SALVATION TO DISCOVER
THESE VITAL ANSWERS
1.) The Bible declares: "I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John
10:10).
Giving you abundant life required the supreme sacrifice: "For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John
3:16).
God desires fellowship and companionship with you. What a wonderful
gift the Father has given, yet if God gave His own Son to provide an
abundant and everlasting life, why don't more people have what He
has designed for us to receive? It is a question answered by this
sobering realization.
There is a gap between God and mankind. He has provided a way for us
to receive an abundant and eternal life, but people throughout the
ages have made selfish choices to disobey God Almighty. These
choices continue to cause separation from the Father.
God's Word shows us that the result of sin is death. He says in His
Word: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12).
And God also said, "But your iniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will
not hear" ( Isaiah 59:2).
Paul the apostle states in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory of God."
And in Romans 6:23 we read: "For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Every human was created with the ability and need to know God and
fellowship with Him. Augustine, a minister who lived during the
fourth and fifth centuries, called this longing in each of us "that
God-shaped vacuum."
Every day we hear of people who are rich, famous, achievers, star
athletes-people who seem to have the best life can offer-yet they
try to fill that empty void in their lives with "things." They even
try good works, morality, and religion. Yet they remain empty, for
only God, through His Son, can fill that emptiness.
2.)Jesus Christ, His Son, is the only way to
God. Only He can reconcile us to God the Father. Mankind may seek
other solutions and worship other gods, but Jesus Christ, alone,
died on the Cross for our sins and rose in triumph over the grave
and eternal death. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the
gap between God and mankind.
The Bible explains: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
We are also told, "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the
just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18).
There is only one way provided: "For there is one God, and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" ( 1 Timothy
2:5).
For in John 14:6 we read, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
God Almighty has provided the only way. Jesus Christ paid the
penalty for our sin and rebellion against God by dying on the cross,
shedding His blood, and rising from the dead to justify and
reconcile you back to God the Father.
3.) You can be brought back to God, and your
relationship with Him can be restored by trusting in Christ alone to
save your life from destruction. What an incredible exchange: Your
worst for God's best!
This step happens by asking Jesus Christ to take away your sin and
to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior.
God's Word is very clear: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).
And the Bible tells us, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).
Are you willing to let go of your burdens and sins?
Are you willing to turn away and repent from your sins?
Are you willing to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior now?
At this moment you can pray the most important prayer of your life
by simply saying:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You came to earth 2,000
years ago. I believe you died for me on the cross and shed Your
blood for my salvation. I believe you rose from the dead and
ascended on high. I believe You are coming back again to earth. Dear
Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive my sin. Cleanse me now with Your
precious blood. Come into my heart. Save my soul right now. I give
you my life. I receive You now as my Savior, my Lord, and my God. I
am Yours forever, and I will serve You and follow You the rest of my
days. From this moment on, I belong to You only. I no longer belong
to this world, nor to the enemy of my soul. I belong to You, and I
am born again.
Amen!
By praying this prayer, confessing your sins, and receiving Jesus
Christ into your heart, God has given you the right to become His
forgiven child. The Bible gives you this assurance: "But as many as
received him, to them he gave the power to become the sons of God,
even to them who believe on his name" (John 1:12).
If you have just received Jesus Christ into your life, we want to
rejoice with you.
