Salvation

God speaks to people in many different ways. We feel that the best way to speak to and hear from God is through heartfelt prayer and the reading of His Holy Word (The Bible.)

To begin your faith walk with God, start with a prayer from your heart. Tell Jesus that you know you are a sinner and that you believe He is the son of God. He died on the cross for you and you truly want Yeshua Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, to come into your life and to change you. Tell Him that you are sorry for your sins and ask for His forgiveness. Repent of your sins and ask to be baptized in the Holy Spirit so that He may guide you to a greater love and understanding of His Word. (Romans 3:10-23, 1 Peter 3:18, Galatians 2:20, Acts 3:19, Matthew 11:28, John 6:37)

Receiving Salvation Through Jesus Christ!

Romans 10:9-13
…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes and is justified, and with the mouth, one confesses and is saved. The Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

Prayer for Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit

If you believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, pray this prayer and receive Him as your personal Lord and Savior.

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I’m a sinner and
I have no hope without you.
I need You. You loved me so much
that You gave Your life for me.
I believe you are God’s Son and
that He raised You from the dead.
Thank You for dying on the Cross for me
and for providing the only way for me to
have a relationship with You.
Please forgive me for all that I have done
wrong, and make me clean.
I give up doing wrong and now I will open
the door of my heart and my life to You.
I receive You as my personal Lord and Savior.
Come and live in my heart now,
and fill me with Your Holy Spirit.
Please be the Lord of my life.
Teach me how to love You and
walk with You every day.
I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Read the bible and pray every day. Trust in Jesus by walking in His ways and not your own. Stay in repentance (stop sinning, turn away from sin and turn to God for help) and obey Jesus’ words.

Romans 5:1-11
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him, we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person, one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Ephesians 1:3-10
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

To summarize, the gospel of Christ reveals that:

All are sinners and cannot do anything to save themselves. (Romans 3:23)

Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is a perfect Savior for sinners, even the worst. (John 6:37-44; Hebrews 7:25)

Jesus Christ died for sinners, was buried, and rose again on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

It is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. (Romans 1:16)
Salvation comes only through Jesus. (Acts 4:12)
Salvation is the gift of God by His grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and not by any works you do. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7)
Salvation comes through the blood of Christ, which makes the sinner righteous before God and brings reconciliation with Him. (Romans 3:25, 5:9)
Salvation comes at the moment the sinner believes the gospel. (Romans 10:9-13; Ephesians 1:13-14)
Salvation is granted by God and secured by God. (John 10:27-30)
Jesus perfectly accomplished and completed all the works necessary to save sinners just like you. (John 19:30)
Salvation is completely of God and not of man in any way, and it is to the glory of God alone. (Romans 8:28-30; Romans 9; Ephesians 1)
