What is Salvation?

Salvation is the "saving" of a sinner from the righteous judgment of God. When someone appeals to God and seeks forgiveness in Jesus Christ his sins are forgiven. He is cleansed. His relationship with God is restored, and he is made a new creature (2 Cor. 5:17). All of this is the work of God, not man. Salvation is a free gift (Rom. 6:25).

We are saved from damnation. When anyone sins, and we all have (Rom. 3:23; 6:23), he deserves eternal separation from God (Isaiah 59:2). Yet, because of His love and mercy, God became a man (John 1:1, 14) and bore the sins of the world in His body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24; 1 John 2:2). We are forgiven when we realize that there is nothing we can do to earn the favor of God and we put our trust in what Jesus did for us on the cross (Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Cor. 15:1-4). Only God saves. The only thing we bring to the cross is our sin.

What Must I Do To Be Saved? _____________________________________

EVERY PERSON IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in Him (Jesus Christ) shall not perish (die and go the hell) but have eternal life John 3:16
____________________________________

EVERY PERSON IS SINFUL AND SEPARATED FROM GOD

For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 
For the wages of sin is death Romans 6:23

EVERY PERSON HAS BUT ONE WAY TO REACH GOD

Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father (God) except through me." John 14:6

Christ died for our sins... Jesus was buried.... He was raised on the third day, according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-6

EVERY PERSON IS CALLED TO MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION TO RECEIVE AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR

But as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. John 1:12

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, that no one should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

EVERY PERSON MUST INVITE JESUS CHRIST INTO THEIR LIFE. AND ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST MEANS REPENTING and TURNING TO

GOD. "Behold, I (Jesus Christ) stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him...." Revelation 3:20 ____________________________________

You, too, can accept Jesus Christ this moment

Are you ready to change your life forever? Would you like to invite Jesus Christ into your heart? No matter what you've done, it's forgivable! God promised it in 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purity us from all unrighteousness.

Accept Jesus Christ this moment by asking Him to come into your life. You can do this by praying a prayer like this:

Dear Lord Jesus,
I believe You are the Son of God. 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. Please forgive me. 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 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).
