Know Jesus
ABC's of Salvation
The Bible tells us that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
​
To begin your journey with Jesus as Savior and Lord of your life is as easy as ABC.
​
Admit - that you have sinned against God.
The Bible says that "all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God."
You're a sinner. Everyone has done things that displease a Holy God. No one can live up to His
standards.
He says no sin can enter heaven. Something must be done to get rid of your sin.
​
Romans 3:23- "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Revelation 21:27- "There shall by no means enter it (heaven) anything that defiles or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life."
​
​
Believe- that Jesus died for you on the cross for your sin, and that God raised Him up again from the dead.
Jesus died on the cross for you. God loves you and wants you to become His child.
He loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to shed His blood to save you from your sins.
He took your place on the cross and suffered the punishment you deserve.
Believe that He died for you, was buried, and rose again on the third day.
​
1 Peter 2:24- "Who Himself (Jesus) bore our sins in His own body on the tree (cross), that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness."
Colossians 1:14- "In whom (Jesus) we have redemption (salvation) through His blood, the forgiveness of sins."
Acts 16:31- "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved."
​
​
Confess- with your mouth and the way you live your life that Jesus Christ is Lord- your Lord.
The Bible says, "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Confess your sinfulness to God, and turn from it. Call upon Jesus to save you.
This may be a simple but sincere cry from your heart, or it may be expressed out loud.
Trust in Him as your Savior from sin.
Luke 18:13- "God be merciful to me a sinner."
Romans 10:9- "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 10:13- "Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
1 John 1:9- "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Psalms 130- Cry to the Lord for mercy. Forgiveness. Unfailing love. Full redemption from all our sins.
​
​
If you believe in Jesus and have placed your faith and trust in Him, God has forgiven you. Then you, along with all the others who believe in Jesus, will spend eternity in heaven with Him.
​
It's that simple, and Oh, what a change He makes in your life. Let Jesus be the greatest gift you've ever received.
Accept Him today!
