Salvation is easy, free and everyone needs it. Salvation is the act of accepting that Jesus died for you and was given as a sacrifice by God to keep you from eternity in hell.
 SeparationBecause of man's original sin in the Garden of Eden, we are separated from God. Our sinful nature separates us from God. However, God never intended it to be that way. He wants to have a relationship with YOU.[for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.] << romans 3:23  SacrificeGod didn't like it that we had that sin barrier between us. But, because of the way God had set up for the Old Testament Israelites to reconcile with Him, He needed a big sacrifice that would trump anything they'd ever do... His only son. He sent Jesus to a woman named Mary. When he was 33 years old, He gave up His life to redeem all sins, for all people, and if we just accept that this awesome sacrifice God made was for us, it would wipe our slates clean so we can follow Him and learn from Him and about Him. think of it this way-- you and your best friend are at a QuikTrip, and a robber comes in and wants your Cherry Pepsi and Peanut Butter cups at gunpoint. Your best friend steps in between you and the robber and takes the bullet for you. This is what Jesus did for you... and God loved us enough to watch His son get killed for us. intense, huh?[for God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting 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  Say itAll it takes for you to have this relationship with God is to realize that Jesus died for you, believe it with every fiber of who you are and then put it into action.[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  SavedDo you want this? it's the biggest decision you'll ever make.If you do, say this short prayer. [God, I can't get to Heaven without you. I know that I sin, and I know that it breaks your heart. I want to be forgiven and I want to have a relationship with you that I've never had before. I want to know who you are, and be changed. Thank you for sending your Son to die in my place. In Jesus name, Amen.] |
