Salvation

Have you ever asked “How will I know if I’m saved?” or “Who goes to heaven?”
If you were to die today, go to the gates of heaven, and God asked “Why should I let you in?” What would you say?

How to Be Saved and Sure!

People tend to divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people.  But God says that every person that has ever
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

According to man’s rules, people should be punished or rewarded according to how good they are, and it might be hard for 
you to understand how Jesus loves you when other people don’t seem to.  But I have great news for you!  Jesus DOES love 
you!  More than you can ever imagine!  And there’s nothing you can do to make Him stop!

Are you thinking that you should make things right in your life before you come to Jesus?  Many people feel that way, but that’s not what God says!

“God demonstrates His own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ dies for us.” Romans 5:8
For you to come to God you have to get rid of your sin problem.  But God says that you can’t make yourself right with God by 
being a better person.  God wants to save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!

“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.” Titus 3:5

It’s God’s grace that allows you to come to Him – not your efforts to “clean up your life” or work your way to Heaven.  You can’
t earn it.  It’s a free gift.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so 
that no one can boast.” 
Ephesians 2:8-9

For you to come to God, your sin must be paid for.  God’s gift to you is His son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine by giving His life on Calvary’s cross.  God brought Jesus back from the dead and 
paved the way for you to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus.

All that’s left for you to do is accept the gift that Jesus is holding out for you right now.

“If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be 
saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” 

Romans 10:9-10

God says that if you believe in His Son, Jesus, you can live forever with Him in glory.

“For 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.” 
John 3:16

Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right now?  If it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to 
come into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart through the Sinner’s Prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life.  But,
believe You life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me.  I am 
now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free gift 
of eternal life.”
