How To Be Saved

The Bible makes it plain that we cannot come before God in our own righteousness. We are sinful people who have disobeyed God’s commands, done things that are wrong. 

However, the Bible also tells us that we can find salvation in Jesus. He was born of a virgin, lived among men, was crucified for the sins of all mankind, rose from the grave on the third day, ascended to Heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. 

When we accept His sacrificial death for our sins and ask Him to forgive those sins, we become “children of God.” As a result of our relationship with Jesus, we are promised a home in Heaven when we die. 

Do you know Jesus? If not, why not? It is the most important relationship you can have. Why not trust Christ and ask Him for forgiveness.

The following “steps to salvation” are taken directly from the Word of God:
1.  Admit your sin. “As it is written, there is none righteous, no  not one” (Romans 3:10).

2.  Acknowledge the penalty for sin. “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23a).

3.  Believe that Jesus’ death and resurrection paid the penalty for your sin. “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23b)

4.  Ask God to forgive your sin. “If thou shalt confess…thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9, 10).

5.  Acknowledge Christ as the Lord of your life. “But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12).
