Salvation

First let us say, this is for you. I don't get anything or want anything from you. We have put it here because true Christians care! They care about YOU! We are not selling ANYTHING............., We just want to let you know what Jesus Christ Offers!

Secondly, We know there are alot of places out there telling you how to be "saved." So you are probably asking why you should read this. Well, that is up to you. We are certainly not pushing it on anyone, just like Christ is not pushing it on anyone. He is however, freely offering it, the plain and simple plan of Salvation. It really is a FREE gift, there for the taking, and if you take him up on it, We can guarantee you will never regret it.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

"He called for a light and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Acts 16:29-31
"What must I do to be saved?" "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved"! There is God's simple plan of salvation, the only plan He has for every man, woman and child who was ever born in this world.
There is NONE righteous, no, NOT ONE: There is NONE that understandeth, there is NONE that seeketh after God. They are ALL gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is NONE that doeth good, no, NOT ONE"! Rom. 3:10-12.

Then if you want to be saved, you must admit in your own heart, "I am a sinner. I am lost and need to be saved." No one can ever be helped or saved without first realizing that you have a need, then wanting to accept the help, to meet that need. Jesus LOVES you, and wants to fill that need. Matter of fact, he already has filled it, all you have to do is reach out and accept it....... ....it really is that simple!

WE ARE NOT SAVED BY GOOD WORKS

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8, 9.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."--Rom. 6:23.
A moral life or good fail to bring salvation, for it is "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us" (Titus 3:5).
Don't depend on what you do, but on what Jesus did and promises to do for you.
I don't know about you, but I am awfully glad of that, because I know, that there is no way I could earn my way to Heaven :-)
"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, ............... But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot." 1 Peter 1:18, 19.


BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

This is God's simple way to be saved. You are a sinner, you cannot save yourself, you are already condemned. The thing to do then, to be saved, is to simply trust the Lord Jesus with that matter. When you do trust Him, then you have God's promise, "Thou shalt be saved."I do not mean that you are simply to believe that there is a God or that there is a Saviour. Devils believe that and tremble (James 2:19). You can believe that a certain Doctor is a good Doctor without calling him to be your doctor when you are sick. You are not just to believe the truth about Jesus; you are to believe on Him, that is, depend upon Him, trust Him; and when you do, you are saved.
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 3:14-16.
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that BELIEVETH not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God."--John 3:18.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and BELIEVETH on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."--John 5:24.


WHAT ABOUT REPENTANCE?

Doesn't the Bible say that we must repent? Yes, the Bible plainly says that "God ... commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30), and again, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3, 5). Repentance is part of God's plan of salvation. The trouble however, is that men misunderstand what repentance means, and there has grown up an idea that repentance means a period of weeping and mourning over sin, or sorrow for sins.
Please don't misunderstand, God is anxious for you to have a sorrowful, broken heart over your sins. But tears or no tears, however much sorrow you may have, or not have in your heart, those things do not save you.You ought to be sorry for your sins and ashamed of them. "Godly sorrow worketh repentance" (2 Cor. 7:10)--the right kind of sorrow leads to immediate repentance, but mourning is not itself repentance.
To repent literally means to have a change of mind or spirit toward God and toward sin. It means to turn from your sins, earnestly, with all your heart, and trust in Jesus Christ to save you. You can see, then, how the man who believes in Christ repents and the man who repents believes in Christ. Salvation is instantaneous. All that keeps you from being saved today is a simple decision. A decision to turn to Jesus and trust in Him for salvation. Please, turn in sorrow from your sins this minute, and trust in Christ and be saved!

Trust in Jesus Christ, depend on Him for your salvation, and turn it over to Him today. Call on the Lord Jesus Christ and trust Him to forgive your sins and save your poor lost soul! He said, "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick" (Luke 5:31). He is the Great Physician and will heal your soul instantly if you will trust Him. The doctor can work no miracles, but Jesus can, and the change that is needed in your heart, He will make immediately, instantly, without any further effort on your part, when you trust Him!

"Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."Prov. 27:1.
"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."--2 Cor. 6:2.

One who trusts Jesus Christ as personal Saviour should publicly claim Him before men. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:10). After trusting Jesus Christ you should join a church and be baptized. I hope you will find a good Bible-believing church and attend faithfully.
