What does it mean to be a Christian? Salvation is clear in God's Word: First: You NEED to be saved! "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 "I tell you, nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3 Second: You CANNOT save yourself! "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 Third: JESUS has provided for your Salvation! "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 Fourth: You MUST ACCEPT Jesus for Salvation! "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31 Fifth: NOW is the time to accept Jesus as your Savior! "Behold, NOW is the accepted (right) time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation." II Corinthians 6:2 WHAT TO DO: "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." Romans 10:9 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 You can do this by saying a prayer like this- believing in your heart the words you say and making this prayer your own request to God: Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner. I do believe that Jesus Christ died for me to pay my sin debt and the best I know how, I repent of my sins, trust Him now and receive Him by faith as my Savior. Amen.
