God loves you and this is how simple it is to allow Him to save your soul.
Acknowledge Your Sin
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
First, see yourself for what you are...a sinner. Sin is tragic, vile...it blights, degrades, destroys.
It has dire consequences: "The soul who sins is the one who will die." "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
_____________________________________________
Repent Of Your Sin
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out...
Acts 3:19
You must also repent. Repentance is not making a resolution to do better. It is not just conviction
of sin, for a person may be convinced that he is wrong and still not repent. D.L. Moody liked to describe repentance this
way: "Man is born with his back toward God. When he truly repents, he turns right around and faces God. Repentance is a change
of mind, a change of heart, and it results in a change of action."
As the Bible says, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him
return unto the Lord...for He will abundantly pardon." You must change your mind about sin and want God to end its mastery
over you. After all, sin is so bad it took Christ's death to make forgiveness possible for you.
Believe In Jesus Christ
For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Believe in the completed work Christ accomplished on the cross. You must believe that Christ substituted
Himself for you, that He died for your sins (though HE never sinned), and that He was resurrected from death. "The punishment
that brought us peace was upon Him." Our sins nailed Him to the cross, and "by His wounds we are healed." "Believe in the
Lord Jesus, and you will be saved."
Make Your Decision
That if you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God
has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
You must believe in Christ and receive Him personally into your life by faith if you are to be saved
from the power of sin and its consequences. "To all who receive Him, to those who believe in His name, He gave the right to
become children of God."
Will you pray to God something like this?
"God, I'm convinced I am a sinner, and that Christ alone can save me. I willingly repent of
my sinful life and believe Jesus Christ died for me. I want to receive Him as my personal Savior."
If you have just now received Christ as your Savior,
may I suggest to you: there are five things that you need to do;(1)Pray often and talk to the Lord.(2) Read His word(the Bible)
and listen to what he has to say to You.(3) Get with people who love the LORD and his Word, so that you get to know him better,and
it will strengthen your new walk. (4)Then find a bible believing new testament church. (5) Then asked to be baptized
to show the world that Christ has saved you. It’s called believers Baptism,
that demonstrates your commitment to Christ for life.
Then, live your life for Him and tell someone
else about Jesus.
