You
need to be saved:
" For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans
3:23
"For
the wages of sin is death…" Romans 6:23
"Jesus
answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God." John 3:3
You cannot save yourself:
"Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved
us." Titus 3:5
"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
Jesus has provided for your salvation:
" But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
" 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
You must once and for all accept Jesus for
salvation:
" Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31
" For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved." Romans 10:13
" 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
" Ye
must be born again…that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John
3:7,16
" He
that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God." John 3:18
When a person hears the gospel, he comes to realize he is a sinner doomed for
eternal hell. The knowledge of his sin produces a sorrow and a willingness
to be saved. Then a sinner, lost and condemned, knowing from God’s
word that Christ will save him, is led to trust Christ to save him by
surrendering himself wholly into His hands.
If you have never trusted Him as your Savior, you can do so right now by simply
believing what God says in His Word and praying to Him asking Him to forgive
and cleanse you of your sin and asking Him to save you.
Once you have thus committed yourself to Christ, believing that He will do
just as He promises, Christ takes over. You do not have to pray this way and
make this commitment but once. The great transaction is done, once for all!
