Salvation in Jesus
What is salvation?
I want to accept Jesus into my heart
1) Realize you are a sinner
Romans 3:22-23 - This righteousness from God comes through faith
in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference. FOR
ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
2) Penalty for sin is death.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of
God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3) Christ paid your penalty
1 Peter 3:18 - For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous
for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death
in the body but made alive by the Spirit.
4) You must repent
Acts 3:18-19 - But this is how God fulfilled what He had foretold
through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.
REPENT, THEN, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped
out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
5) You must accept Christ by faith.
Ephesians 2:8 - For it is by grace, through faith--and this is
not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that
no one can boast.
6) You must confess Him as Lord
Romans 10:9 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus
is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him (Jesus)
from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that
you confess and are saved.... Vs.13 for. "Everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Are you ready to receive Jesus into your heart?
