of sin. According to the Word of God, you will be saved from enemies
(Luke1:71), sin (Romans 10:1,9-10), bondage (Acts 7:25) sickness, and
disease (Acts 4:12).
Salvation comes from the Greek word, soteria, which means deliverance.
Salvation, in the New Testament, refers to eternal and temporary
deliverance from danger. Deliverance is a release from bondage,
imprisonment and captivity.
Salvation is a gift available to all who repent
(change their attitude and direction toward sin)
and believe in Jesus (Roman 10:9-10) which prepares you
to confess Him as your Savior and Lord.
Why must I be saved?
You should be saved because God loves you and wants you to be saved
(John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:3,4). Jesus died for your sins so that you can
have the abundant life of prosperity and health!
Does being saved mean I'm perfect? No, but you are forgiven
(Romans 3:23,24).
Will I be tested?
Yes, Satan will tempt you as he tempted Jesus in Matthew 4:3-11,
but you can count it all joy when you fall into various temptations
and know that the trying of your faith works patience (James 1:2,3).
Patience, when it is finished, will leave you perfect (complete),
wanting nothing.
What does salvation cost me?
The price of salvation was paid by the blood of Jesus Christ. In
1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the apostle Paul says that you are not your own, but you have been bought with a price. Jesus paid the price for you to receive the gift of salvation.
What does knowing Jesus have to do with my salvation?
Jesus is the only way to the Father according to John 14:6.
Acts 4:12 also says that there is no other name under heaven by
which we may be saved.
James 1:13 says "Let no man say when he is tempted,
I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil,
neither tempteth he any man..."
A Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior
Heavenly Father,
I realize and admit that I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins and ask you to forgive me.
You said in your Word,
"...Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
(Romans 10:13). Jesus, I'm calling on your name.
You also said, "...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. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"
(Romans 10:9-10). I believe with my heart that Jesus was raised from
the dead so that I may live eternally. I confess Him now as my Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Hallelujah, I am saved!
