Salvation
begins with faith in Jesus Christ and believing that He died on
the cross for your sins -- sins of the past, present, and future.
This is the type of faith you need to be forgiven of your sins
and to obtain peace with God.
For you to be "born
again",
you must agree and admit to God that you are a sinner. Here is
how you can do it:
Admit
you are a sinner and tell the Lord you want to turn from it. Jesus
said, "...except
ye repent,
ye shall all likewise perish"
(Luke 13:3).
Believe
that "....Christ
died for your sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was
buried, and that He rose again the third day..."
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
Confess... Trust
in Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord. Romans 10:9 says, "...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."
Do
it NOW... The time to trust in Christ and to make Him the
object of your faith, is now! John 1:12 says, "...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."
You can do it today
by praying something like this:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that in my own strength
I cannot do anything to please You or to earn eternal life. I
believe that You love me and that You sent your Son to die on
the cross to pay the penalty for my sin. I now put my faith in
You and trust completely in Jesus Christ to save me. I desire
to turn away from my sin and to let You take control of my life.
Amen
The bible says, "
Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature; old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
2Cor. 5:17
Dear friend, if you
prayed that prayer in all sincerity, you can say, "I
am now saved and in the family of God!"
. You are now "born again" through faith in the shed
blood of Jesus Christ and from this moment being transformed continuously
by the Holy Spirit to be conformed into the image of Jesus
Christ.
The next step you must
take is to find yourself a place to worship -- a bible-believing,
bible-teaching church that will help you to understand your salvation
and who you are in Jesus Christ. Mt. Calvary Baptist Church is
a great place to begin!
