Just
God's Word
"For what
shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, ,
and lose his own
soul." Mark:8:36
No church, lodge or good works
can save you. Take God at His Word.
Claim His salvation by faith.
Believe and you shall be saved.
Below are a few of the questions that are
asked about Salvation and simple answers with the scriptures for
reference.
What is a Christian?
|
Simply put, a
Christian is one who has accepted God's simple plan of
Salvation. This is not a matter of how good a person you
are, nor if you are the member of a church. You must be
saved. Are you saved?
|
What is Salvation?
|
Salvation is God's gift to bring the repentant sinner
back to Grace. John
3:7 says "You
must be born again."
To be born again means to be saved.
|
Who must be
saved? |
First, you must realize that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23
tells us "For all
have sinned and come short of the Glory of God"
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to
death. Romans
6:23 "For
the wages of sin is death" This means eternal
separation from God in a place called Hell. Hebrews 9:27
"... it is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this the judgement"

More about God's plan. |
God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear our sin
and die in our place. 2nd
Corinthians
5:21 "He
hath made Him (Jesus, who knew no sin) to be sin for
us... that we might be made the righteousness of God in
Him."
|
What must
I do to be saved? |
First, "God.... commanded
all men everywhere to repent." Acts 17:30
With this repentance we come to agreement with God. We
recognize our sin and realize what Jesus Christ did for
us on the Cross.
Then, in Acts
16:30-31 Paul and Silas are asked by
the Philippian jailer "...'Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?' And they said, 'Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved... .' " This means that we believe
on Him as the one who carried our sin, died in our place,
was buried and who was resurrected by God. That
resurrection assures that when accepting Jesus as our
Savior the believer can claim everlasting life.
John 1:12 "But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the sons of God. even to
them that believed on His name."
Romans 10:13
"For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be
saved."
Whosever includes you. Shall be saved
means not maybe, nor can but shall be saved.

Sinners prayer |
In Luke
18:13 the
sinner prayed, "God be
merciful to me as a sinner."
Just pray "Oh God. I know that I am a sinner. I
believe that Jesus took my place, that He died on the
Cross, that His shed blood, death, burial and
resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior.
I thank you, Lord, for the forgiveness of my sins, the
gift of salvation and everlasting life, through Your
merciful grace. Amen.
|
Give me a break, you say. It can't be that
simple... But it is.
It is scriptural. It is God's plan.
Believe on Jesus and receive Him as your
Savior today
God's power will save you, keep you saved and
enable you to live a victorious Christian life. Several things
should be done after you are saved. You must testify to all of
your knowledge of Jesus Christ. Practice three things daily,
prayer, reading of God's Word and witnessing.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord
Jesus as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite
with a Bible believing church.
