Right
Now:
I am asking you the most important question of your life.
Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends
upon your answer.
The question is: Are you saved?
It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church
member, but a very specific Are you saved?
There is no middle ground - it is only Yes!, or No! "Are you sure, you
will go to heaven when you die?"
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must
be born again (saved).
In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again."
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to
be born again which means to be saved.
His plan is simple!
You can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you
are a sinner.
The bible says "For
all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are
condemned to death.
"For the wages (payment) of sin is death." (Romans 6:23).
This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
"It is appointed unto men once to die, but
after this the Judgment."
(Hebrews 9:27)
But God loved you so much He gave
his only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
"...He hath made Him (Jesus, who knew no sin) to be sin for us...
that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him"
(2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed his blood and die.
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Leviticus 17:11).
"...without shedding of blood is no remission (pardon)" (Hebrews 9:22).
"God commandeth His love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my
sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and he died in our
place.
He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot
lie.
My friend, "God commandeth all men everywhere to
repent"
(Acts 17:30). This
repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one
is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30, the Philippian jailer asked
Paul and Silas: "...'Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?'
And they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt be saved... .'"
Simply believe on him as the one
who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom
God resurrected.
His resurrection powerfully assures that
the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as
Savior.
"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)
"For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved
means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right
now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
Just pray:
"Oh
God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He
died on the cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and
resurrection were for me. I now receive You Lord Jesus, as Savior. I
thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and
everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen."
In Luke 18:13, a sinner prayed: "God be merciful to me a sinner."
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!
Gods 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 Gods plan.
My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as
Savior today.
If his plan is not perfectly clear, read
this page over and over, without interruption until you understand it.
Your soul is worth more than all the world.
"For what shall it
profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul?" (Mark
8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your
soul, you miss Heaven and lose all.
Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God's power will save you, keep you saved,
and enable you to
live a victorious Christian life.
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is
common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that are able; but will with the temptation also make a
way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change!
Stand on God's promises, They never change.
After you are saved,
there are three things to practice daily for
spiritual growth:
Pray - you talk to God.
Read your Bible - God talks to you.
Witness - you talk for God.
You should be baptized
in obedience to the
Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation.
And unite with one of your local Bible-believing church's' without
delay.
"Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord..." (2 Timothy 1:8).
"Whosoever
therefore shall confess (testify
of) Me before
men,
him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).
