“For by grace are ye saved through faith; . . . it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
Dear Friend . . .
The world’s greatest offer is God’s simple plan of salvation. It is free and available to everyone. All you must do is believe it and accept it. If you accept it you will enjoy heaven for eternity. If not, you will be lost in hell forever. Your salvation does not depend on church membership, or good works. Ephesians 2:8,9—For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
First you must realize you are a sinner. The Bible says all men are sinners and no one is righteous. Romans 3:23—For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:10—There is none righteous, no, not one:
God’s penalty for sin is death. Romans 6:23—For the wages of sin is death. Romans 5:12—Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Because God loved you, He gave His Son to die in your place for your sins. John 3:16—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.
You must repent of your sins. Acts 2:38—Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 3:19—Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. Repentance involves not only a sorrow for your sins but a turning away from them. As a sinner you are serving Satan, when you receive Jesus and salvation you will begin to serve Him.
You must believe in Jesus as your Savior. He bore your sins, in your place, died for you and will save you if you accept Him. John 3:16—that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
You must be baptized for the remission of your sins. Acts 2:38—Repent and be baptized. Mark 16:16—He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Will you receive Jesus now as your Savior? To receive Jesus, believe on Him and ask Him to come into your life. Tell Him you are sorry for your sins and ask Him to forgive and save you. Ask Him to send His Holy Spirit to guide your new life.
Your salvation does not depend on your feelings, but on God’s Word. Satan will try to discourage you and get you to doubt your salvation. Just repeat to yourself these verses promising salvation and believe them. Ephesians 2:8,9—John 3:16—Mark 16:16.
After receiving Jesus, find a Bible believing church and attend it regularly. Take time each day for Bible reading and prayer. God’s Spirit will reveal His will to you as you read the Bible and pray. Tell others about Jesus and invite them to accept Him too.
