Understanding Salvation

In a very complicated world, God has made salvation simple.

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13).

Salvation is the beginning of your relationship with Jesus Christ. Just admit, believe & confess.

ADMIT that you are a sinner in need of God. A relationship with Jesus Christ begins with your admission that you need God. You must recognize that:

1. You need God to forgive you of your sins.

"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If           we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us           from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:8-9).

2. There is a consequence for unforgiven sin.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our            Lord." (Romans 6:23).

3. You need God to show you His purpose for your life.

"The thief [Satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I            [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more            abundantly." (John 10:10).

BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again for our sins. God loves us so much He provided a way for us to escape the penalty of sin.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever            believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).

Jesus can and will save anyone from an eternity without God. He died and rose again           for your justification, to right your relationship with God.

CONFESS Jesus as Lord of your life. Confessing Jesus as Lord means to commit total control of your life to Christ. You give him the ownership of your life. He becomes your new boss. If you confess Jesus as Lord of your life, the Bible says, “you will be saved”.

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in            your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be            saved." (Romans 10:9-10).
