How to Be Saved
Accepting Jesus as your Personal Lord and Saviour
Who is Jesus Christ?
Many people will acknowledge Jesus Christ as a good man, a great teacher, or even a prophet of God. These things are definitely true, but they do not fully define who He truly is. The Bible tells us that Jesus is God in the flesh, God in human form (John 1:1, 14). God came to earth to teach us, heal us, correct us, forgive us—and die for us! Jesus Christ is God, the Creator, the sovereign Lord.
What is a Savior, and why do we need one?
The Bible tells us that we all have sinned; we have all committed evil acts (Romans 3:10-18). As a result of our sin, we deserve God’s anger and judgment. The only just punishment for sins committed against an infinite and eternal God is an infinite punishment (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15). That is why we need a Savior!
Jesus Christ came to earth and died in our place.
Jesus’ death was an infinite payment for our sins (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins (Romans 5:8). Jesus paid the price so that we would not have to. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead proved that His death was sufficient to pay the penalty for our sins. That is why Jesus is the one and only Savior (John 14:6; Acts 4:12)! Are you trusting in Jesus as your Savior?
Is Jesus your “personal” Savior?
Many people view Christianity as attending church, performing rituals, and/or not committing certain sins. That is not Christianity. True Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior means placing your own personal faith and trust in Him. No one is saved by the faith of others. No one is forgiven by doing certain deeds. The only way to be saved is to personally accept Jesus as your Savior, trusting in His death as the payment for your sins and His resurrection as your guarantee of eternal life (John 3:16). Is Jesus personally your Savior?
If not, accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior today!
Say and own this prayer:
“Lord God,
Please forgive me for my sins. I believe that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I believe that you love me. I believe in my heart, who you are. You are the Son of God. I confess with my mouth that I am a sinner. I accept you, Lord Jesus, as my savior. Please cleanse me from my sin and create a new and clean heart in me. I do believe that you are my savior and I now want to live for you as my Lord and my God. I know that I have eternal life in you because of the work you did on Calvary’s cross for me. Thank you, God. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer, God did just that. He forgave your sins and adopted you into His family. He wants to help you follow Him.
It's important that you find other Christians to gather with and worship. It's important to pray to God every day. Ask him for help, thank Him for all He has done for you.
It's important for you to read the Bible, and as you read the Bible, learn to follow Jesus and do what He says.
