Have you met Jesus?

THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN!

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

Nobody else can save you.  Trust Jesus Today!

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

1. Admit you are a sinner.  "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one."  Romans 3:10
2. Understand the penalty for sin, and the gift of God (should you choose to accept it). "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."  Romans 6:23
3. Be willing to repent and turn away from sin.  "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" Acts 17:30*
4. Believe that Jesus Christ (the Son of God) died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead. "That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
5. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour.  "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13

God knows your heart, so this should be in your words, and you must believe it in your heart or it doesn't mean anything.  This will give you an idea of what you should pray to ask him into your heart:

"Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness.  I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin.  I am willing to turn from sin.  I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour."

If you have trusted Jesus as your Saviour, you have just begun a wonderful new life with Him.  Once you are saved, you can not lose your salvation (Heb. 13:5, John 10:28-29), however to continue to grow in the Lord and win other souls to Christ, obey God's plan for your life:

1. Read your Bible every day to get to know Jesus better. (pick up a "Daily Bread" or prayer Journal on bgea.org or at your local Bible believing church, or contact us and we will help!)
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
3. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority. (none of this will save you, it is just pure obedience to show the world what you believe, and to create a testimony to help bring others to Christ).
4. Tell others about Jesus Christ.   (you don't have to know the entire Bible front to back before you tell others you love about Christ, but don't wait until it is too late to share your new enthusiasm for Jesus and your salvation!)

*Repentance does not mean you will have to be perfect for the rest of your life, God knows this is impossible, that is why he sent Jesus to die for us, so Jesus could wash away our sins with his blood, but you must accept the gift to be saved.

Other important verses:

1. John 3:3 ". . .verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

2. John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
