Are YOU Saved?

Dear Friend: I am going to ask you the most important question of your life. Where you will spend eternity hangs upon your answer. The question is: Are your saved?

It is not about how good you are, if you are a member of a church, if you tithe,but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus explained to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again."

In the Bible God gives us the plan of how we are "to be born again" which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?

First, you must realize that you are a sinner.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)

Because you are a sinner, your sentence has been passed. "For the wages (payment) of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)

Included in this is eternal separation from God in Hell.

"…it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27)

But God loved you so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear you sin and die in your place.

"…He hath made Him (Jesus, who knew no sin) to be sin for us…that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Jesus had to shed His blood and die.

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Lev. 17:11). "…without shedding of blood is no remission" (pardon). (Hebrews 9:22)

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It's true. God cannot lie.

Dear friend, "God…commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one isa sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.

In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas:"…Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…'"

Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12)

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, or can, but shall be saved.

By now, you must realize you are a sinner. Right now, where ever you are, repenting, lift up your heart to God in prayer.

In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: "God be merciful to me a sinner." Just pray: O God, I know that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receiveHim as my Savior. I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen."

Simply take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving.

God's simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.

You may say, "Surely, it can't be that easy." Yes, it's that simple! It is scriptural. It is God's plan. Friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as your Savior today.

If His plan is still not clear, please read this again and again, until you understand it. Your eternal soul is worth more than all the world.

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36)

Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save your this instant.

Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God's promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:

Pray--you talk to God.
Read your Bible--God talks to you.
Witness--you talk for God.

You should then be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church as soon as you can. "Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord…."(2 Timothy 1:8) "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us;" (Romans 5:8)

"Whosoever therefore shall confess (testify of) me before men, him will I confess before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32)

If you have received Christ as your personal Savior, please contact us so that we can rejoice with you.
