How can I be saved?
1. Admit you are a Sinner
Understand that God has not been first place in your life and ask Him to forgive your sins. Scripture notes that God loves us, and that Jesus will forgive the sins that are confessed to Him.
• “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from every wrong.” (1 John 1:9)
2. Believe in Jesus as your Savior
Believe that Jesus died to pay for your sins and that He rose again and is alive today.
• “If you confess that Jesus is your Lord, and you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
3. Confess the Jesus is Lord
Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and be Lord of your life.
• Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
• Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Remember, restoring our relationship with God is not based on anything we do, but on what Jesus already did for us!
Here is a sample prayer:
“Dear God, thank you for loving me, even when I didn’t love You. I realize I need You in my life. I am sorry for my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. Thank you for sending Your Son to die on the cross for me. Please help me to understand Your will for my life, and how I can live to please you. Please come into my life and make me a new person. I accept Your gift of salvation. Please help me to grow now as a Christian. In the name of Your Son Jesus, I ask these things, Amen!”
