ABC’s of Salvation
In a very complicated, "religious" world... God has made salvation simple.
"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). Your salvation experience will be the beginning of your relationship with Jesus Christ. Understanding salvation is as simple as "A.B.C."|
A relationship with Jesus Christ begins with your admission that you need God. You must admit you need God to do three things: 1. You need God to forgive you of your sins, those attitudes or actions that don't meet God's standards. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:8-9). Admit that you're a sinner in need of God. |
|
2. You need God to give you eternal life. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23). Believe that Jesus died and rose again for your sins. |
|
3. You need God to show you His purpose for your life. "The thief [Satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10). Confess Jesus as Lord of your life. |
Sample Prayer:
Dear God, I admit I am a sinner in need of you. Please forgive me of my sins and give me abundant life here on earth and eternal life with you in heaven. I believe Jesus died and rose again for my sins. I confess Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
