What Must I Do to be Saved? There is only one place where we will find the true love and acceptance that we are looking for and that is in a personal relationship with God. The Good News The good news is that God's desire is that we might become His children through redemption. He did this by sending His only son, Jesus Christ, to earth two thousand years ago to take care of the "sin" issue that had kept us separated. In obedience to His Father, Jesus bore upon Himself the weight of our sin, nailing it to the cross so that we could be born into His wonderful family. Jesus Is The Way To The Father In John 14:6, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me". Our access to the Father is through Jesus alone. His sacrifice was the one and only price that could be paid for our redemption and restoration into the family of His wonderful Father. If we receive God's gift of His Son Jesus Christ, we receive the right to become children of God! Would You Like To Receive This Gift? If you would like to accept this gift (eternal life in relationship with God), Jesus Christ has secured it for you. All you need to do is to tell God that you want to be saved. You are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, and the words below might help you express your thoughts to God. It's not these exact words that will save you, but the attitude of your heart towards God. A prayer to accept or reaffirm your relationship with Jesus Christ: Father, please make me your child. I turn from my sin. I accept your forgiveness made possible through Jesus Christ by his death and resurrection. I place my faith and trust in Jesus alone. I receive him as my Savior and Lord. I want to follow and serve you. Let today be the beginning of my new journey as your child and a member of your family. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. |
