How To Be Saved And Know
It
If you should die today, where would you spend eternity?
No one likes to think about death, but death comes
to everyone. God tells us in His Word:
And as it is appointed unto men once to die,
but after this the judgment.
Hebrews 9:27
Since death is so certain, you must prepare to meet God.
According to God's Word, you must spend eternity in one of two places,
either in heaven or hell.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment [hell]:
but the righteous into life eternal [heaven].
Matthew 25:46
So how do I make sure I go to heaven?
You must understand and admit that you are a sinner.
Admit it to yourself and admit it to God. Every person born into this world
inherited a sinful nature.
Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world,
and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9
This sinful nature produces all sorts of evil deeds.
For from within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders,
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness,
an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
all these evil things come from within,
and defile the man.
Mark 7:21-23
So what? Everybody's a sinner.
Because you are a sinner, you are destined for hell
for all eternity.
For the wages of sin is death...
Romans 6:23
...and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:15
There is nothing you can do to save yourself. You cannot
be good enough.
...there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:12
You cannot be saved by keeping the Ten Commandments, joining
the church, or being baptized. You are helpless and cannot save yourself.
...by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians
2:16
OK! I realize I'm a sinner and on my way to hell.
How can I be saved?
In spite of your sin, God loves you and has done everything
necessary for your salvation.
For when we were yet without strength [helpless],
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:6
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.
1 Peter 3:18
Just believing intellectually that you are a sinner, that
God loves you and that Christ died for you is not enough. You must
apply this personally by repenting and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ
as your own Saviour. Repentance is "a change of mind" brought to your
heart by the Holy Spirit through God's Word. It causes you to turn
from your sins, leaving your dead religion and works, to trust Christ alone.
...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:3
But as many a received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name.
John 1:12
Don't put this off - do it now!
...now is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near.
Isaiah 55:6
For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13
Wherever you are right now, tell God that you are a lost
sinner, ask Him to forgive you of your sins, and receive the Lord Jesus
Christ as your Savior. Claim salvation by faith.
For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:
not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Why not pray this prayer from your heart?
"Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I need a Savior.
Right now I turn from my sin and accept You as my Lord and Savior. I am
trusting You and You alone for my salvation, believing that You died and
rose again from the grave, I thank You for saving me. In Jesus name I pray,
Amen."
