SIMPLE STEP TO SALVATION

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?"

    1.  Admit you are a sinner.  The Bible tells us, ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD-Ro 3:23.  THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH-Ro 6:23.

    2.  Be willing to change, to forsake all sin, and live for Jesus.  Repent.  Be willing to ask God for His help, to help you make that change.  The Bible tells us, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH-Lk 13:3.   WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD-Ja 4:4.   Jesus tells us, HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME-Mt 12:30.

    3.  Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son and that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  Believe that He died for your sins.  Believe on Jesus Christ as your only hope of salvation.  As it is written, THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED-Acts 4:12.

    If we rob a bank, we have to go to jail.  Jesus never sinned.  When He died on the cross, He did not die for the things He did.  He died to pay your jail sentence.

    4.  Ask for forgiveness.  Ask for God’s mercy.   By faith, receive Jesus Christ as your only hope of being saved and do not be ashamed.  Confess Him openly as your only hope of salvation.  As it is written, BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR-1 Pe 3:15.

    The Bible tells us, GOD IS GREATLY TO BE FEARED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE SAINTS-Ps 89:7.  WE LOVE HIM, BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US-1 Jn 4:19.

    "After" we believe on Jesus Christ, "after" we have repented of our sins, we are commanded to be baptized by full immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  It is written, HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED-Mk 16:16.  Note, believing on Jesus comes "before" water baptism.  Baptism prior to repenting and believing on Jesus has no meaning.  You cannot be baptized into One whom you do not believe on.  It is written, FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST-Gal 3:27.  Water baptism is by full immersion.  As it is written, BURIED WITH HIM (with Jesus) IN BAPTISM (or buried in the water)-Col 2:12.  

WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM (with Jesus) BY BAPTISM (or buried by water)-Ro 6:4.  Jesus commanded, GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.  AMEN-Mt 28:19,20.

     Surrender means "you give up."  You stop putting your will before God’s will.  You allow Jesus (God’s Word) to reign over you.  You submit to Jesus and let Him become the Lord of your life.

     If you have never humbled yourself, and totally surrendered to Jesus, and become as a little child (ref Mt 18:3), and continued steadfast in the faith, I

MAKE YOUR (NOW) WHEN YOU STILL CAN, BECAUSE THE TIME IS COMING THAT YOU WILL LOOK FOR IT WITH YOUR OWN BLOOD......
