How do I Receive Salvation?

The Bible teaches that God loves all men and wants them to know Him. But man is separated from God and His love.

Why is man separated from God and His love?

Because he has sinned against God.

"Your sins have cut you off from God." Isaiah 59:2

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23

Where does separation lead?

This separation leads only to death and certain judgment.

"Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment."  Hebrews 9:27

"Those who do not know God. . . will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord."  2 Thes. 1:8-9

But,there is a solution.

Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, is the way to God.

"God is on one side and all the people on the other side, and Christ Jesus, Himself man, is between them to bring them together, by giving His life for all mankind."  1 Timothy 2:5-6

Does this include everyone?

Yes. But only those who personally receive Jesus Christ into their lives, trusting Him to forgive their sins.

"To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God."  John 1:12

How does a person receive Jesus Christ?

Everyone must decide individually whether to receive Christ.

"Jesus said, You may ask Me for anything in my name, and I will do it."  John 14:14

Therefore, if you pray sincerely, asking Him this:

Lord Jesus, please come into my life and be my Savior and Lord. Please forgive my sins, and give me the gift of eternal life.

He will do it.

". . . if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."  Romans 10:8-9
