God's Plan for You :: Salvation

 

 

Who needs to be saved?

Everyone, because none of us can stand righteous before a Holy God and relate to him personally.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

 

 

Why do I need to be saved?

Because those who are saved are given the gift of eternal life, and the right to be called a child of God.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

 

How do I get saved?

You must be born again. If you genuinely believe that Jesus was the Son of God, that He died to pay for your sins, and that He was resurrected and reigns with the Father in heaven, then you are born again!

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

 

 

Is there any other way to be saved and be restored to a relationship with God?

No.

John 14:21 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

 

 

So what must I do?

Accept and acknowledge Jesus as YOUR personal Savior.

Romans 10:9-11 ...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.

 

 

What should I do after I have accepted Christ?

Live for Him and imitate his life.

Corinthians 5:15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

 

 

I do believe and I confess Jesus as my Savior. Now what?

  1. In your own words, pray to the Father a prayer of thanksgiving, thanking Him for forgiving your sins and giving you eternal life through His Son, Jesus.
     
  2. Also, it is important that you become a member of a Bible believing church to nourish this new spiritual life and help you mature in Christ. Involve yourself in fellowship, in ministry and in learning the ways of Christ through the Bible.
