Salvation:
God's Gift to You!
In the blink of an eye and the bite of the forbidden fruit sin entered
the world. Sin is a debt against God. This sin prevents you from having a
relationship with God. The good news is that God loves you and wants you to
have an abundant life filled with hope and peace. He wants a relationship
with you. When you ask for salvation your debt of sin is paid in full by
the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
 God loves you so much that he sent his only Son to
die for you.
"For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved"
(John 3:16,17).
Jesus
is a mediator between God and humanity.
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself as ransom for all, to be
testified in due time" (1Timothy 2:5,6). In
John chapter 14:6 of the Bible Jesus says: "I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." "Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me"
(Revelation 3:20).
Through
the cross we are made blameless for now and eternity.
By salvation we are made pure and righteous in the sight of a
holy God. All need to be saved, "For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" (Romans 3:23,24).
Salvation
is given freely by grace and faith. There is no sin that is so great that
it can't be covered by the grace of God. It is a gift.
"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).
"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by
the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we
might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified... I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain" (Galations 2:16,21).
If
you would like to receive salvation for your sins sincerely say a prayer
like this:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus
Christ died on the cross for the remission of my sins and that you raised
him from the dead. I accept Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior. Forgive my
sins and make me the person you want me to be. In the name of Jesus Christ
I pray. Now,tell
somebody the good news of your salvation!
Enjoy
your freedom!
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new " (2
Corinthians 5:17). "Stand fast therefore in
the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again
with the yoke of bondage... For, brethren, ye have been called unto
liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love
serve on another" (Galations 5:1,13).
To
begin your walk with God:
Pray and read your Bible daily, worship with other christians in a church that preaches Christ and the
Bible. Feel your hope and freedom and fly!
