How to be Saved
While there is no special formula to follow in order to be saved, there are certain things we must know and do.
What we must know
We must know that we are all in need of salvation because all of us are with sin, and we are hopelessly lost and under condemnation of death.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
Spiritual death is everlasting separation from God in hell.
We cannot save ourselves by any effort of our own.
Eph 2:8 & 9 “For by grace are we saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
What we must do.
Admit that we are sinners and accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.
John 1:12 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.
Acknowledge Christ as savior and lord by confessing Him with our mouth.
Romans 10:9 & 10 “That if thou shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead you shell be saved.”
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
What God will do
Save Us. Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Forgive all our sins Eph. 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”
Give us Eternal Life John 10:28 “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shell never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
Do you want to be saved?
If so, Pray to God something like this or in your own words: Lord Jesus, I have sinned against you and I deserve hell. I believe you died in my place to pay the penalty for all my sins. Right now, be merciful to me and save me. Lord Jesus come into my hear and be my saver, I trust you as my Lord and savior, and I commit my life to you. Amen
Salvation is for everyone no matter what you have done, God will forgive you.
No sin is to great, you only have to believe on him and ask forgiveness.
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.”
