What does it mean to be Saved

 

 

 

 

John 3:16 says “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”

 

 

How are we saved

 

 

We must believe that Jesus went to the cross to die for our sins and shed his blood for the atonement of our sins. He died in our placed so we could have a relationship with our father in heaven. We must first believe we are sinners and believe that Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for our sins and ask Jesus to forgive us of those sins and you will be saved

 

 

You see God our father looks at us after we repent as being righteous in his eyes. When we repent, we are accepting the free gift of salvation. Our sins are covered by Grace.

 

 

What is Grace

 

 

Grace is something that is freely given and is unmerited favor and love from God

 

 

Freely Given – You can’t pay for it or earn it

 

 

Unmerited – We don’t deserve it

 

 

Doesn’t that sound so great and amazing, a Free Gift from God. Who wouldn’t want a free gift – right

 

 

Are you ready to accept Jesus as your personal Savior

 

 

If so, please pray the following prayer. Remember, it is not the words that you use, but the attitude of your heart. If you pray this prayer sincerely, Jesus will come into your life, and in him you will have eternal life and hope.

 

 

“Dear God, I know that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. Because I have sinned and need forgiveness, I ask Jesus to come into my heart. I am willing to change the direction of my life by acknowledging Jesus as my Lord and Savior and by turning away from my sins. Thank you for giving me forgiveness, eternal life, and hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 

 

You are assured of Eternal Life and Hope because:

 

 

You can trust God’s Promise.
