HOW TO BE SAVED...

THINGS TO KNOW...

1. God Loves You!...

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world (you and me) that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever (you and me) believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

2. God Cares What Happens To You!...
2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count
slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish
but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 4:15,16 - For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let
us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

3. We should all come to repentance because we have all sinned. If we have done just one thing wrong or thought one single evil thought or left any good deed undone we have fallen short of God’s perfection. We are ALL guilty before God and the penalty for falling short is death.
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

4. God has had Mercy on us and Has Bridged The Insurmountable Gap between us and Him. He has made the same way for all of us No Matter What We Have Done Or Who We Have Hurt. He has not waited for us to make the first move. He did not bypass His own standards of justice, which is death. He did it all for us before we even knew that we needed it...
Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Hebrews 9:22b - without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.
Galatians 3:13 - Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

5. Our only response... The Only Way that we can enter into fellowship with God is through Jesus Christ. If you feel God tugging at your heart right now, this is the time that you must respond. There may be no other time... Now is the only time that we are assured of!
“2 Corinthians 6:2 - behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation.”

NOW, HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO...

Romans 10:9,10 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

6. Just ask Him to come in and take control of Your life and He will. If you are serious He will be serious with you. If you just take what you know and honestly ask Him to save you, He will. There is still plenty to live out and to learn but you don’t have to know it all at this point, just fall upon His Mercy and He will never let you down! Jesus says:
John 10:9 - I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out , and find pasture
i.e. - You will never experience any greater freedom than in Jesus! He soothes your whole spirit, mind & body.
John 10: 27,28,29 - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man
pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

i.e. - You will never experience any greater security than in Jesus! It lasts for eternity.
John 10:10 - The thief (Satan) cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they (me and you in Him) might have life, and that they might have it
more abundantly.

i.e. - You will never experience any greater quality of life than in Jesus! It is fully satisfying with plenty left over for others. God will replace your stony heart with His heart of love and it will overflow to others.

If you have truly asked Christ to be the Lord of your life (i.e. the boss of you) He will never stop working with you to make you the man or woman that you know in your New Heart that you want to be (even if you screw it up). His goodness is now encoded into your spiritual DNA. This does not mean that you will never sin again but it does mean that you will never be able to stay in sin and enjoy it. He will convict and convince you of your continued need for Him and draw you back to Himself:

Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ

God Bless You and if you have any questions about this or need to know how to proceed from here, please comment here and I will bed glad to respond. Remember, no one has all the answers, and I surely don’t, but I know WHO to go to in order to find them if I can’t give an immediate answer. God Bless You! Also, please feel free to comment if you receive Christ, too. It could be an encouragement to others... (and I know it will be to me!)
