Want to Receive Salvation For Yourself?

Listen to how specifically Jesus spoke of what will be required of us:

Ø He said, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

Ø He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” (John 14:6)

Ø He said, “Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of Gods one and only Son.” (John 3:18)

Listen to some of the things that Jesus did not say:

Ø He did not say that being a nice person is all that is really necessary

If that were true, we wouldn’t need a Savior. But God says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:33). All of us have failed to live up to Gods law and therefore stand guilty before Him.

Ø He did not say being religious and going to the right church is what counts.

The need to be “born again” was originally presented not to a criminal off the streets, but to Nicodemus, a sincere, respected religious leader of his day, a man who prayed and kept the commandments. To such a man Jesus said: “You must be born again” (John 3:7). And He says the same thing to you and to me.

Ø He did not say if you just live by the Golden Rule, you’ll make it.

God does expect us to live by the Golden Rule, but good works can never be the basis of salvation. The Bible says of born again Christians, “you have been saved through faith;…not as a result of works” (Ephesians 2:8, 9)

Ø He did not say a loving God would never condemn anyone to hell.

God is perfect in love. He’s also perfectly just. And that justice makes it impossible for Him to allow our sinfulness to go unpunished. “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). When Christ died on the cross, He paid the penalty for the sins of the people like you and me in order to forgive us. The bible says, “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

 I am not talking about religion or a denomination but, a personal relationship with the Living God who, “So loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

 In Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” He’s offering you that opportunity right now. If you would like to open the door of your life to Jesus, here’s what to do.

 Honestly tell Him that you realize you need forgiveness and you want to turn away from your sins to Him. Tell Him that from this moment on, you will trust Him as your Savior who died for you, and as your Lord whom you will obey.

Then thank Him for forgiving you and giving you eternal life.
