Salvation
The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.' " (John 14:6)
Good works can not save you
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." (Eph 2:8-9)
Trust Jesus Christ today. Here's what you must do:
1. Admit you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and His word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)
2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
Jesus said: "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent." (Acts 17:30)
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"But God showed His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved." (Romans 10:9)
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become Savior and Lord.
"For with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." (Romans 10:10)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
What to pray:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my Savior and Lord. I give you complete control of my life, and will serve you forever. Thank you for saving me!
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." (John 1:12)
"Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
