The ABC's of Salvation

Knowing your sins are forgiven and you are ready for heaven is as simple as following these steps:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMIT— that you're a sinner in need of God..

"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8).
BELIEVE— that Jesus died and rose again for your sins.

"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 3:16).

CONFESS— Jesus as Lord of your life.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. You need to be saved. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
2. You cannot save yourself. "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 man can boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
3. God loves you enough to provide salvation. "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). "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. By faith, believe Jesus and accept Him. "They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and your household'" (Acts 16:31). "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).

Invite Jesus in now! Pray this prayer:

Dear Jesus,
I have read Your Word.
I understand that I am a sinner,
And that I need a Savior.
Please come into my life.
I ask You to forgive my sins,
And make me a new person.
I want to serve You and live for You.
Amen
