How To Be Saved
1. Understand that you are a sinner in God's
eyes and that there's nothing you can do to make yourself
righteous.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks
after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together
become unprofitable; there is none that does 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 3:10-18)
2. Understand that Jesus Christ came in the
flesh to die for your sins and to give you eternal life with
God.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even
dare to die. But God commends his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:6-8)
3. Understand that Jesus Christ is the only way to God the
Father and the only way you can be saved from your sins.
"Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."
(John 14:6)
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there
is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved."
(Acts 4:12)
4. You must repent of your sins and
believe in Jesus Christ in order to be saved.
"That
if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall
believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you
shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him
shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew
and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that
call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved."
(Romans 10:9-13)
If you sincerely believe this, then pray this prayer:
Lord
God, Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner and I
deserve nothing from You but judgment for my sins. But I
also know that You are a gracious God that desires for no
one to perish but for all to come to repentance and be
saved. I believe that Jesus Christ has come to pay for my
sins with His blood on the cross and that He rose again the
third day to offer everlasting life to those who believe and
accept Him as Lord and Savior. Please come into my life and
make me into a child of God. I thank You for the free gift
of salvation that You have given to me and I will honor You
with my life from this moment on and forever. In Your Son
Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
