How To Be Saved Do you want to know for sure that Jesus Christ is your personal Savior? Do you want to know for sure if you were to die today whether you would end up in heaven or hell? You can know all this and more!! First, you must realize that God loves you very much. 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." Secondly, you must realize that everyone is 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:" Ecclesiastes 7:20 "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Romans 5:12 "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." Thirdly, you must realize that sin has a price that must be paid. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." Fourthly, you must realize that Jesus Christ died upon a cross to pay your price on sin. Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Finally, you must realize that all you have to do to be saved is ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior. Romans 10:9-11 "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, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." If you have just done the following, and asked Jesus Christ into your heart, you can know for a fact that Jesus Christ has saved you. You can know for a fact that you will spend eternity in heaven with Him if you have trusted on His name. All you have to do is take God at His word. He has promised to come back for all those who have believed on His name. John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." This is a great comfort that is yours to claim if you have believed on Jesus Christ. You, as a Christian, can have a peace that will surpass all understanding. You will have this peace because God is now your Father who will protect and guide you. The blessings you will receive are simply unmeasurable when you dwell in the grace and salvation of God. Psalm 72:17 "His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen." |
