How can I be saved?
Dear Friend,
We have set aside this page to show you God's plan of salvation. It would be a shameful act on our part if you visited our website but missed God's plan for you.
First, God loves you:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
Second, Man is a sinner and sin has separated him from God:
"For there is not a man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." -Ecclesiastes 7:20
Third, Jesus has a remedy for this sin:
"For Christ hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, the He might bring us to God." -1 Peter 3:18
"Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -Acts 4:12
Fourth, You must receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord:
Jesus calls this experience the "new birth". He told Nicodemus: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. (Romans 10:13) Upon doing so, you will become a child of God forever. "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." (John 1:12)
Pray this prayer and mean it with all your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus, I now realize I am a sinner. I accept the fact that You died for me on the cross of Calvary. I now invite you to come into my heart and I receive You as Savior and Lord of my life. Please take full control of me and mold me into the Christian that you want me to be. Thank you God for saving me. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Amen
If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a child of the one and true living God.
After I accept Jesus by faith as my personal Lord and Savior, what is next?
