I DON'T NEED TO BE SAVED, I'M NOT LOST.
Thaf's what so many today seem to think. Are you one of those? Do
you believe that, because you're a good person and have been all your life,
that because you don't lie, cheat, steal or do any number of the other
things that, "Christians call sin," you're ok? Then you need to know what
God says.
Romans 3:23, "23. For
all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Romans 5:12, "12. Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
-
HOW CAN I BE SAVED AND KNOW I AM?
1. Since you now know that you are a sinner and in need of saving you now
need to know that the only way God will forgive your sins is through the
blood of His Son Jesus.
Acts 5:30-31, "30. The God of
our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 31.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour,
for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
Hebrews 9:22, "22. And almost
all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood
is no
remission."
2. You must confess to God that you are a sinner
and that you believe that Jesus Christ His Son died on the cross for your
sins and ask God to forgive you.
Romans 10:9-10, "9.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. 10.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation."
John 3:16, "16. 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."
3. How can you know that God has heard you and
forgiven you of your sins no matter what you have done?
1
John 1:9, "9. If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness."
-
NOW THAT I AM SAVED WHAT
SHOULD I DO?
Now that you have accepted Jesus
as your personal Saviour you should begin to read His word the Bible and
pray daily for God's guidance. Read the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John.
Next find a Bible believing
church . You want a church that still believes the Bible to be God's word
without error. If you go to a church that tries to explain away things
in the Bible, go somewhere else. If they think they are the only Christians
find another church. The name over the door is not as important as what
is being taught on the inside. The church should be friendly towards new
people (like yourself) and you should feel welcome.
When you find a church that
you can call your home church, you need to become involved. Don't be a
pew warmer, you are needed in the harvest.
