It is very simple to be saved and
takes only a minute to explain. Please let me show you how to get to
Heaven from the Bible, God's Word...
Man is a sinner.
Isaiah 53:6, “All we like sheep have
gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid
on him the iniquity of us all.”
John 3:3, “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.”
Romans 3:10, “As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one.”
Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God.”
There is a
price on our sin―eternal death in
Hell.
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin
is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.”
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.”
2nd Thessalonians
1:8, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Jesus paid that price by dyingon
the cross and shedding His blood.
Romans
5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.”
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.”
1st Timothy 1:15, “This is a
faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
1st Peter
1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ...”
By faith in
Jesus Christ ALONE we can be saved.
Salvation is NOT found in a
religion or good works, but in a Person... The LORD JESUS CHRIST!
John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I
am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live.”
John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I
am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me.”
John 6:40, “And this is the will of
him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Mark 1:15, “And
saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye,
and believe the gospel.”
Acts 26:18, “To
open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among
them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
1st Corinthians
3:11, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.”
Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
HERE IS HOW YOU CALL
UPON THE LORD
Do you admit that you are a
GUILTY sinner,
under the condemnation of God's LAW, deserving of Hellfire?
Do you believe that
Jesus is the Son of God(God in the flesh) who died upon the cross,
sacrificing His precious blood to pay for your sins?
If you'd like to be
saved, simply come in your heart as a guilty sinner and BELIEVE upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
Perhaps you'd feel
comfortable praying a sinner's prayer as did the publican in Luke 18:13... “And
the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto
Heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.”
Dear Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner, deserving of Hell. Please forgive me of my
sins and take me to Heaven when I die. I now believe
upon You alone, apart from all self-righteous works and religion, as
my personal Savior. Thank you. Amen.
Just as you were born physically to your
parents, so you were born spiritually into the Family of God when you
received
Jesus! Please understand that we are not saved
because we pray a prayer; but because we believe upon the Lord Jesus
Christ. It is certainly appropriate to ask the Lord in prayer to forgive
and save us;
but it is our faith which prompts us to pray. You
could just as easily believe in your heart upon the Lord to be saved,
and not
pray at all. Salvation is of the heart, as we read in Romans 10:10,
“For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness...”
It's not
what you're doing that gets you to Heaven, it's where you're looking.Look to Jesus!
You do NOT have to be
water baptized nor doing anything to get to Heaven other than trust upon the Lord as
your Savior. Romans 4:5 proclaims... “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on
Him
(Jesus) that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” What
a wonderful truth! Our faith is COUNTED for righteousness! There is NO
self-righteousness involved in salvation. It is the gift of
God. You see, we have no righteousness of our own to offer God. No
amount
of good can undo the bad we've done. Thus, Jesus paid a debt that He did
not owe, because we owed a debt that we could not pay. Salvation is
receiving, not giving. We are Sinners and Jesus is the Savior.
Jesus is precious!
Unbelief is the only sin which
can keep you out of Heaven.
Just take God at His
word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and
you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember,
God does the saving. All of it!
God's simple plan of salvation is: You are
a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who
died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as
your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of
your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say,
“Surely, it cannot be that
simple!” Yes, that simple. It is scriptural; it is God's plan. My friend,
believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If you've never been saved, then now is
the time to believe upon the name of Jesus, the Christ, that your sins will be
blotted out forever and you can know that your name is written in Heaven.
Christ died for your
sins. You are a sinner by nature and by choice. Jesus took your sins and charged
them to His own record. He went to the cross and paid the penalty for your sins.
He says if you're willing to receive Him in faith; He will transfer His payment
to your debt, and His righteousness to your sins. He will impute to you His
goodness, and impute to His own record your sin; if you in faith will trust Him
as your Savior.

This is a great message, but it does need some study, if one believes in Christ he should die daily to his sin nature, you CANNOT continue to live in sin knowingly. Sin; such as lying . drunkenness, drug addiction, adultery, Fornication, slander, back biting,Divination's and known disobedience to God's word could put one in the position of missing the mark, The Apostle Paul was concerned about that. Paul Stated: 1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1Co 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 1Co 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 1Co 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
When the HOLY SPIRIT resides in you ; if he resides in you, you WILL Avoid the sins of Galatians 5:19 : Which are: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, sedition's, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envying's, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
So our confessing and believing in Christ must have fruit that verifies our faith in him along with the repentance that reveals his work in us, we conform to his likeness if we truly believe in his finished work.
