Salvation

Jesus loves you and died to save you from your sins. Salvation is only through JESUS CHRIST, not through a church, lodge, good works, baptism, or by keeping the Golden Rule. To the lost sinner going to HELL, salvation is through the precious BLOOD OF CHRIST.

YOU NEED SALVATION BECAUSE OF SIN.

"For as by one man’s (Adam) disobedience many were made sinners," Romans 5:19a. "Wherefore, as by one man ((Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, FOR THAT ALL HAVE SINNED," Romans 5:12.. You are a sinner by nature, through Adam as a human being, and by choice.You are a sinner by nature, through Adam as a human being, and by choice. "...There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes." Romans 3:10b-18. "...for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:22b-23.. Sin brings death or eternal separation from God. "For the wages of sin IS death;" Romans 6:23a.. Realize now that you are a sinner, undone, destitute, without God, and without hope.Realize now that you are a sinner, undone, destitute, without God, and without hope. "He that believeth on him ((Jesus Christ) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18.. If you have not believed in Christ enough to ask him to save you, you are lost and unsaved. LOST NOW, CONDEMNED NOW, not in the coming age, but NOW, NOW. You are walking around condemned, lost and sure to be in hell.If you have not believed in Christ enough to ask him to save you, you are lost and unsaved. LOST NOW, CONDEMNED NOW, not in the coming age, but NOW, NOW. You are walking around condemned, lost and sure to be in hell.

The rich man in Luke, chapter 16, has been in hell these nineteen hundred years since Jesus spoke of him when he was on this earth.

This rich man is still in hell this very moment. In ten years this man will still be hell. In fifteen years, a hundred years, even a thousand years from now, he will still be in the burning pit of unquenchable fire. He is damned and lost for ever. Sinner friend, trust in Christ today. If you go to hell, God the Father won’t help you out, Jesus will not, the Holy Spirit will not, because you rejected all three when you turned down Christ. Sinner, trust Christ TODAYY, and know you are saved.

YOU NEED SALVATION BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU..

Moses told about Christ in Genesis 3:15, and in every book of the Bible, in some way God tells us something of Jesus. All rejoiced at the birth of Jesus, except the devil and his angels. Jesus Christ cameMoses told about Christ in Genesis 3:15, and in every book of the Bible, in some way God tells us something of Jesus. All rejoiced at the birth of Jesus, except the devil and his angels. Jesus Christ came "to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10b.. Jesus wants to save you, more than you want Him to save you. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, and lived a life without sin, the only one in all creation who lived a perfect life. Jesus invited men always to come:"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. "Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." John 7:37b.. Then Jesus Christ, perfect God and yet perfect man, full of infinite love and pity for YOU, became your substitute, and bore your judgment of sin.Then Jesus Christ, perfect God and yet perfect man, full of infinite love and pity for YOU, became your substitute, and bore your judgment of sin. "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." II Corinthians 5:21. "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, ((YOU and I) being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye here healed." I Peter 2:24..God must punish sin, and because you have sinned against him you must be punished or trust Christ’s substitution death on Calvary.God must punish sin, and because you have sinned against him you must be punished or trust Christ’s substitution death on Calvary.

Jesus did not look human because of the brutal beatings. Isaiah 52:14. "He ((Jesus ChristJesus Christ) is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he ((Jesus Christ) hath borne our grief's, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But hee

Was wounded for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed… and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:3-6a.Was wounded for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed… and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:3-6a. Look, sinner friend, at the last few verses again. Jesus bore our grief's. Jesus carried our sorrows. He was wounded for your transgressions. Jesus was bruised for you iniquities. By the bloody stripes of the scourge YOU are healed. Trust Him sinner friend. Why would you reject your only hope?

HOW YOU CAN OBTAIN THIS SALVATION.

"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the GIFT of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. If is says not of works, it means NOT of works. Keeping rules, being baptized, praying continuously through to God, or anything else will not save or help save you. The Bible says not of our works, but salvation is a GIFT. All you can do is accept a gift. "But as many as received him ((Jesus Christ), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:" John 1:12.. We see salvation as a gift of God, if we believe Jesus Christ died for our sins, and if we receive Him as our own personal Savior.We see salvation as a gift of God, if we believe Jesus Christ died for our sins, and if we receive Him as our own personal Savior. "Behold, I ((Jesus Christ) 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. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13.. Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. Will YOU let him in, and say, "Come into my heart, Lord Jesus"? Believe and accept wholeheartedly that YOU are a sinner in need of salvation, and Christ died for YOU.Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. Will YOU let him in, and say, "Come into my heart, Lord Jesus"? Believe and accept wholeheartedly that YOU are a sinner in need of salvation, and Christ died for YOU.

God's Plan of Salvation

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven

Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father
but by me." (John 14:6)

Good works cannot save you.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do:

1.Admit you are a sinner.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
(Romans 5:12)

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is
not in us." (1 John 1:10)

2.Be willing to turn from sin (repent).

Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish." (Luke 13:5)

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all
men every where to repent:" (Acts 17:30)

3.Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.

"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)

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners. Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

"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)

4.Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal
Saviour.

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Romans 10:13)

What to pray:

Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed
His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now
invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.

"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:" (John 1:12)

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, as a Christian you should:

1.Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
(Psalms 119:105)

2.Talk to God in prayer every day.

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive." (Matthew 21:22)

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
(Philippians 4:6)

3.Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a
church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew 28:19)

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of
some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the
day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
(2 Timothy 3:16)

4.Tell others about Christ.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature." (Mark 16:15)

"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity
is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"
(1 Corinthians 9:16)

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek." (Romans 1:16)

GOD'S SIMPLE PLAN OF SALVATION

My friend: I am asking you the most important question of your life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again."

In the Bible, God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?

First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to die. "For the wages [payment] of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.

"... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

But God loved you so much he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. "For he hath made him [Jesus, who knew no sin] to be sin for us ... that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Jesus had to shed his blood and die. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Leviticus 17:11) "... without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]" (Hebrews 9:22).

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and he died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.

My friend, "God ... now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30).

This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the cross.

In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: "... `Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' And they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved... .'"

Simply believe on him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected.

His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Saviour.

"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" (John 1:12).

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.

Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.

In Luke 18:13, a sinner prayed: "God be merciful to me a sinner." Just pray:

"Oh, God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when he died on the cross. I believe his shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive him as my Saviour. I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of your merciful grace. Amen."

Just take God at his word and claim his salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!

God's simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on him as your crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and his gift of eternal salvation by faith.

You say, "Surely, it cannot be that simple." Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God's plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive him as Saviour today.

If his plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.

God's power will save you, keep you saved and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God's promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth: Pray you talk to God. Read your Bible God talks to you. Witness you talk for God.

You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible- believing church without delay. "Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord ..." (2 Timothy 1:8).

"Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).

The Inside Story

Would you really like to know how to get to heaven?

A few years ago railroads and airlines printed what were called "time tables." They all laid claim to the better route to your destination. They went so far as to print their line in big boxcar type, while their competitor’s line was put in the smallest type.

The different denominations and churches all have their peculiar route to heaven. The various sects and isms claim to have a monopoly on the only way to a blessed eternity. Which way shall we go? Certainly all of us want to go to heaven. Most assuredly we want to take the proper route. Which is it?

Instead of listening to this babel of voices all about us, why not listen to God? Here is what He says in the Bible. This is the inside story on God’s way to heaven. It is the gospel according to the Author:

God tells the truth about mankind:

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." (Romans 3:10)

"For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and does not sin." (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

"…For there is no man that sins not…." (1 Kings 8:46)

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him [Jesus] the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6)

God says that He must punish sin:

"Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sins, it shall die." (Ezekiel 18:4)

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

God tells the inside story about His remedy for sin:

"Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18)

"God commends [demonstrates] His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

"Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed." (l Peter 2:24)

"He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit." (Titus 3:5)

"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8, 9)

God wants to save you and will save you if you will follow His instructions:

"He who believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he who believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:36)

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your household." (Acts 16:31)

"To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sins." (Acts 10:43)

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through His name." (John 20:30, 31)

God definitely declares that there is only one way to be saved:

"Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me." (John 14:6)

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

"Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25, 26)

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (l Timothy 2:5)

Christ extends to you a personal invitation:

"All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me; and he that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37)

Now it is up to you. You have the inside story. What are you going to do about it?

"Therefore if any man (or woman) be in Christ, he (or she) is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." II Corinthians 5:17

How to Know You Are Going to Heaven

FIRST, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER.

(Romans 3:23), "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

(Romans 3:10), "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

No one is perfect. No one has lived up to God's perfect standard.

SECOND, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT AS A SINNER YOU OWE A PENALTY.

(Romans 6:23), "For the wages of sin is death ... ."

(Ezekiel 18:4), "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."

This death is described in the Bible as the second death, the lake of fire,

(Revelation 20:l4), "Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

If we pay what we owe as sinners, we must spend an eternity in the lake of fire (Hell).

THIRD, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS ALREADY PAID OUR SIN DEBT.

(Romans 5:6), "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."

(Hebrews 2:9b), " . .that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

Christ was not a sinner, and the Bible teaches that God took all of our sin and placed it on Christ. While Christ was bearing all of our sins in His own body, God punished Him in our place to pay the debt we owe. This is not something God promised to do. It is something God has already done.

(John 3:16), "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."

(II Corinthians 5:21), "He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

It is a fact, Jesus Christ has already paid your sin debt.

FOURTH, YOU MUST ACCEPT BY FAITH WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID FOR YOU. NINETY TIMES IN THE GOSPEL OF ]JOHN THE BIBLE SAYS, "BELIEVE."

(John 3:36), "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

In this verse. Jesus divides the world into two groups: those who are believing and those who are not believing on the Son. Those who believe have everlasting life, and those who believe not shall not see life.

The word believe means to trust, to depend on, to rely on. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ means that you accept the fact that you are a sinner, that as a sinner you owe the sin penalty, and that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the debt you owe. But it means going one step further. It means that you will completely trust Christ to get you to Heaven - that you will put the matter of your salvation in His hands and depend on Him for everlasting life.

Now the moment you do this, God promises you are not condemned but have everlasting life and that you shall never perish.

(John 5:24), "Verily, verily, I Say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

If you will trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour, pray this simple prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I deserve to pay my own sin debt, but I do believe that You died for me to pay the debt that I owe. Today, the best I know how, I trust You as my Saviour. I will depend on You from this moment on for my salvation, Now help me to live for You and to be a good Christian. Amen.

If you have prayed this simple prayer, write to us at the address below so that we may rejoice with you.

Are you saved ?

Salvation is a gift from God and is offered to all, who will accept Jesus

John 3:16 says:
"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."

Romans 10:9-10 says:
"That 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."

I John 1:9 says:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness."

After reading these scriptures, a prayer similar to the
one below can be said. That is all you do to be saved.
But remember, its not the words or how you say them
that is important, it is if you say the words with a
sincere heart and really wanting forgiveness of your
sins and you truly want Jesus to be your Lord and
Savior.

Dear Father in heaven, I confess I am a sinner and
worthy of the fires of hell, but I ask that you forgive
me of all my sins. I believe your son Jesus Christ died
on the cross for my sins and I believe you have raised
Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that
Jesus is Lord. I thank you for hearing my prayer and
accepting me into your Kingdom. And I know that
from this moment I am saved. In the name of Jesus I
pray...........Amen

If you said this prayer with a sincere and true heart,
then I welcome you into the family of God. You are
now a child of God. The Bible says when one person
repents the angels in heaven are rejoicing. Please
read your Bible and get to know the Father in heaven
and Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. The Bible
deals with each person differently. Let the Holy Spirit
guide, direct and comfort you until Jesus comes back.
Hebrews 9:28 says, "So Christ was offered once to
bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for
Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for
salvation."

God bless you and I pray you will overcome and
endure till the end. Spread the good news of the
Gospel.

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

Jesus said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me he will be saved..."John 10:9"

How to establish a spiritual B.A.S.E.

B-Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for me and showed He was God by coming back to life. 1 Corinthians 15:²By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
³For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

A-Accept God's free gift of forgiveness for my sins. Romans 6:²³For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

S-Switch to God's plan for my life. Mark 1:¹⁵"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Romans 12:²Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

E-Express my desire for Jesus Christ to be the leader of my life. Romans 10:⁹That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Are you saved ?

Salvation is a gift from God and is offered to all, who will accept Jesus

John 3:16 says:
"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."

Romans 10:9-10 says:
"That 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."

I John 1:9 says:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness."

After reading these scriptures, a prayer similar to the one below can be said. That is all you do to be saved.
But remember, its not the words or how you say them that is important, it is if you say the words with a
sincere heart and really wanting forgiveness of your sins and you truly want Jesus to be your Lord and
Savior.

Dear Father in heaven, I confess I am a sinner and worthy of the fires of hell, but I ask that you forgive
me of all my sins. I believe your son Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and I believe you have raised
Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. I thank you for hearing my prayer and
accepting me into your Kingdom. And I know that from this moment I am saved. In the name of Jesus I
pray...........Amen

If you said this prayer with a sincere and true heart, then I welcome you into the family of God. You are
now a child of God. The Bible says when one person repents the angels in heaven are rejoicing. Please
read your Bible and get to know the Father in heaven and Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. The Bible
deals with each person differently. Let the Holy Spirit guide, direct and comfort you until Jesus comes back.
Hebrews 9:28 says, "So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for
Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation."

God bless you and I pray you will overcome and endure till the end. Spread the good news of the
Gospel.

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

Jesus said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me he will be saved..."John 10:9"
