Way of Salvation
1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the
world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
The problem is that
2. All of us have done, said
or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins
have separated us from God.
The Bible says "All have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God." God is perfect and holy, and our
sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says "The wages of sin
is death."
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus
Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a
sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our
sins. "God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were
yet sinners Christ died for us."
Jesus rose from the dead and now He
lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of
eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept
Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."
God reaches out in love to you and
wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He
gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe
on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your
sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to accept
Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be
your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son
of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please
forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask
you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to
serve you always."
