There is only one way to have everlasting life. There is only one way to live forever and be assured that you will always be with God. There is only one way to the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven.
There is only one way to the Father, and that way is through Jesus.
God loved you so much that He sent Jesus to earth to pay the price for your sins and make a way for you to live forever with Him. He paid the price you could not pay. He made a way of escape from the bondage of sin and death.
Receiving the gift of salvation is simple. It simply involves the following steps. Read these steps and the scriptures; then, pray and accept the gift of salvation.
Step #1: You Must Believe in Jesus
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
(John 3:16-17)Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.
(Acts 16:31)
Step #2: You Must Confess Your Sins
You must acknowledge that you are a sinner and you want Jesus to wash your sins away.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 1:9)
Step #3: You Must Repent & Turn Away From Your Sins
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Rom. 6:23)The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel.
(Mark 1:15)
Step #4: You Must Confess Jesus Before Men
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Rom. 10:9-10)
Step #5: You Must Accept the Gift of Salvation
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
(Eph. 2:8)But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
(John 1:12)Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
(2 Cor. 6:2)
If you would like to receive Jesus and the free gift of salvation, simply pray this prayer. If you believe these words and say them from your heart, you will be saved!
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, into this world to die and for raising Him from the dead so that I can have everlasting life.
I accept Jesus as my Savior and as the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins and I forgive those who have wronged me. I believe in my heart and I will confess openly my belief in Jesus. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life.
I receive this gift by faith, In Jesus’ name, Amen.
That’s it! You now have eternal life with God. Hallelujah!
“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents that over 99 just persons who need no repentance.” – Jesus
