Do
you know for sure that if you died today you would go to heaven? If you
said yes, that is wonderful. That means you know Jesus Christ as your personal
Savior. You have repented of your sins and accepted Jesus into your heart. You
believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died on the cross to set you
free from your sin.
If
you said no, don't panic just read this:
All
people have turned away from God and broken the law of God. This is sin. In the
bible it says "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
Our
God is a just God and He must punish sin. He loves us and hopes that none should
perish. That is why "For God so loved the world He sent His only begotten
Son into this world, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
eternal life". John 3:16
What
you do is admit to God that you are a sinner and that you want to be set free
from sin. "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the
truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins." I John 1:8,9
Then
accept the free gift of eternal life by believing that Jesus paid the price in
full when He died and shed His blood for you. "The wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". Romans
6:23
This
can be done by simply saying a prayer that goes something like this: "Dear
Heavenly Father, I am a sinner and want to be set free. Please forgive me for my
sins and make me whole. I believe that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the
cross to save me from my sins and eternal damnation. I accept the free gift of
eternal life and want to live my life for you. In the name of Jesus I pray,
Amen.
Now
if you just said this prayer and meant it in your heart, you are now saved. You
now have eternal life. That is awesome! You are free from your sins. So now you
ask what now. Here's what you do now that
you are saved.
