What Must I Do To Be
Saved?
This is the most important question you will ever ask and
the Bible is very clear about the answer.
- First of all, you must realize
that you are lost. When Adam and Eve committed the first sin, man broke
relationship with God. From that time forward, everyone was born with a sinful
nature. So it does not matter how good a person you are, you are lost. The
Bible says,
 | Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God;" |
You must realize that the
consequences of sin is death. Not just physical death, but spiritual
death too, which results in being separated from God. The Bible says,
| Romans 5:12 - "Therefore, just as sin entered the
world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to
all men, because all sinned--" |
| Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death....."
|
You must realize that God loves YOU so much, He
gave HIS only Son, Jesus Christ, to die and pay the price for your sins. You
must personally accept this free gift from God and confirm your
belief in Jesus by openly
confessing your faith in Jesus Christ.
| Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." |
| Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love for
us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
|
| Romans 10:9-10 - "That if you confess with your
mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and
are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
|
| Romans 10:13 - for, "Everyone who calls on the Name
of the Lord will be saved." |
| John 3:16-17 - "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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn
the world, but to save the world through Him." |
| I John 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness." |
So in summary, in order to be saved, to spend eternal life
in Heaven instead of hell, you must,
 | Realize that you are lost. |
| Believe, through faith, that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God and He paid the price for your sins by dying on the cross and that He
arose from the grave, victorious over sin. |
| Confess openly your faith and that you have accepted
Christ as your Savior. |
If you believe these things, you can pray a sinners
prayer, like the one below, to receive Jesus into your life:

His shed blood, I have eternal life. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and
save my soul. I love you, Lord, and offer myself to You as a child of God. In
Jesus' Name I ask it - Amen.
