Salvation
You can be made right with God at this very moment…
There is nothing that we can do to save ourselves – no matter how hard we try. In God’s wonderful mercy He saw that we would need a Savior and He made a way. All He requires of us is to accept this beautiful free gift of eternal life. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or who you are, God wants you. He’s been drawing you to this place where you may know Him and receive all the wonderful things He has provided for you.
How do you receive Jesus?
- Admit – that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. In Romans 3:23 it says, “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
- Believe – in your heart that Jesus Christ lived a perfect life that you couldn’t. He died taking away your punishment and rose again to give you overcoming victory in this life and for eternity. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
- Confess – with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord. This may be publicly or in the privacy of this very moment. Romans 10:9 assures us that, “If you [anyone] confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
If you have not made this personal commitment or you are not sure you are going to heaven, please pray this simple prayer:
“Dear Heavenly Father, I recognize that you have been drawing me to this moment. I know that I need your gift of Jesus because I am helpless to save myself. I believe that Jesus died and shed His precious blood to save me from my sins. I receive Him now as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your love that has wiped away my past and given me the grace that empowers me to live this new life. I am Your child, and my eternal destiny is with You in heaven. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
This is the defining moment of your life. You’ve made a choice to change the course of your life forever.
