| 3 Steps to Salvation
First of all are you BORN-AGAIN? If not then if you die without
the remission of your sins through the blood of Jesus Christ, you
will be tormented in the LAKE OF FIRE for eternity never having
the chance to REPENT and be in right standing with God.
The Bible says in John 3:5, "A man must be Born Again to enter
into the Kingdom of God." The process of God’s salvation
is so simple. The following is an explanation of what you must do
to receive God’s salvation. Keep in mind there is only one
step to God and that is stepping forward with your heart, but a
lot of things are occurring within you spiritually. Receive Jesus
Christ into your heart as your Savior and live in victory everyday.
1. Admit and recognize that you are
a sinner
You are a sinner through inheritance. You have inherited the
fallen sin nature of Adam and Eve; therefore, you became a sinner
when you were born into this world. Fruits of sin are: stealing,
killing, cheating, etc.
(Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:14; and 1 Corinthians 15:21-22)
2. Repent
To have a change of heart, a change of mind, and a change
of direction. Literally this involves making a 180-degree turn in
your life. You will turn away from serving sin in this world and
turn toward God and serve Him with all your heart, mind, soul, and
strength.
(Matthew 3:1-2; Mark 1:15; 2 Peter 3:9; Mark 6:12-13; and Acts 17:28-30)
3. Confession
Confession breaks the lordship of Satan over your life, and establishes
the kingdom of God over your life with Jesus Christ as your Lord
and Savior. Jesus said,” if you are ashamed of me on the earth,
I will be ashamed of you when you go before the Father in heaven.”
A man will confess what is in his heart. You must confess what is
in your heart.
(Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 10:32-33; Mark 8:38; Matthew 12:34-37;
1 John 2:22-23; Romans 1:16; 2 Corinthians 4:4)
If you have made a quality decision to receive Jesus as your
Savior, please pray the following prayer:
I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, confessing that I am
a sinner in need of a Savior (Romans 3:23). I repent of my sins
and ask you to forgive me (1 John 1:9). I believe in my heart and
confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. Jesus died for my sins
and was raised from the dead on the third day.
Dear Lord Jesus come into my life and take control. Lead and
guide me as I commit my life to you. I thank you for hearing my
prayer and saving my soul (Romans 10:9-13). I believe by faith that
God has accepted me into His family.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen!
