| | But what does it mean to be saved? (cont') | |
| |
The following verses from the Bible give us this assurance.
| Acts 16:31 | "They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household."
|
| Acts 13:38 | "They replied, "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you."
|
| Romans 6:23 | "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
|
| |
| | How? | | |
| |
You might be asking, How can I take God's offer of forgiveness and eternal life? All
we have to do is to ask. We don't have to work for it, because it is a free gift.
| Ephesians 2:8,9 | "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast."

| | A Prayer to Pray | | |
| |
We talk to God by praying. Here is a sample prayer you can pray. But it must be coming
from your own hearts desire to be forgiven by God and receive this gift of Eternal Life.
Father in Heaven,
I know that I am a sinner
and need forgiveness.
I believe that Your Son Jesus
died in my place,
to pay the penalty for my sin,
and rose again for my salvation.
I want to turn from my sinful ways,
so I now ask you,
Lord Jesus,
to come into my life as my Savior
and my Lord.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
