SALVATION
What must I do to be saved?
This is the most important question in human existence and one whose answer is clearly outlined in scripture. In order to be saved we must first realize our true state of sinfulness before God and know that He alone can save us, cleanse us, and give us eternal life. Scripture tells us that Jesus is the only way and we can not have access to God through any other means. In fact, in John 14:6, Jesus plainly stated:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Remember…
God Loves You!
God loves you so much that he made a way for you, through the shed blood of his son so that you might be able to spend eternity with Him.
“For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.”
Man is a Sinner, and Sin has Separated him from God! You may think you are a good person but being good is not enough! Every man has sinned and there is none that is righteous before God!
“For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.”
“For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.”
Jesus Christ is the only remedy for sin! We can not be good enough to get into heaven, nor can our good works get us there. There was no other way for God to erase the effect of sin except by blood. The shedding of Christ’s blood indicated that the penalty for sin had been paid; a perfect sinless life had been sacrificed for the lives of all who have sinned.
“. . .Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.”
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God…”
“Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
You Must Receive Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Savior To be saved, a man must confess that Jesus is Lord, while acknowledging in his heart that Christ must have full rule over his life. This confession of Christ as Lord assumes that it is Christ who will work and fulfill His own righteousness within man, as man is unable to attain righteousness of his own accord.
Jesus calls this experience the “new birth.” He told Nicodemus:
“. . . Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name.”

Pray this prayer!
Dear Jesus, I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you came to earth to die for my sins. Jesus forgive me of my sins and come into my life. Jesus I surrender my life to you, to be Lord of my life. Thank you for saving me and for making me your child. Thank you for giving me an eternity in Heaven with you. Amen!
