How to be SAVED and KNOW IT!!!

IF YOU SHOULD DIE TODAY, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND ETERNITY?
No one likes to think about death, but death comes to everyone. God tells us in His Word -
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Since death is so certain, you must prepare to meet God. According to God's Word you must spend eternity in one of two places, either in Heaven or Hell.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

EVERY PERSON BORN INTO THIS WORLD INHERITED A SINFUL NATURE.
Eph 2:3b ...... and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Rom 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:
Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

THIS SINFUL NATURE PRODUCES ALL KINDS OF EVIL DEEDS.
Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
You must admit you are a sinner. Admit it to yourself and admit it to God. There is absolutely no chance for you to be saved from Hell unless you know that you are a sinner. God's Word declares it, you must believe it!
Because you are a sinner you are destined for Hell for all eternity.
Rom 6:23a For the wages of sin is death;
James 1:15b .... and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO SAVE YOURSELF.
You cannot be good enough.
Rom 3:12b ....... there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
You cannot be saved by keeping the law. Joining the church and being baptized will not even help save you.
Gal 2:16b ...... by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
You are helpless. You cannot save yourself.

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL.
In spite of your sin, God loves you and has done everything necessary for your salvation.
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
1 Pet 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

JUST BELIEVING INTELLECTUALLY THAT YOU ARE A SINNER, THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND THAT CHRIST DIED FOR YOU IS NOT ENOUGH.
You must apply this to yourself personally by repenting and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as your own Saviour. Repentance is "a change of mind" brought to your heart by the Holy Spirit through God's Word that causes you to turn from your sins, dead religion and works, to trust Christ alone.
Luke 13:3b ....... except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Acts 17:30b ...... but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Don't put this off - do it now!!!
2 Cor 6:2b ...... now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 Tim 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Where ever you are right now, tell God you are a lost sinner, ask Him to forgive you of your sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Claim salvation by faith.
Eph 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.

If you have trusted Jesus as your Saviour, you have just begun a wonderful new life with Him. Now:
1. Read your Bible (KJV1611) every day to get to know Jesus Christ better.
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
3. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.
4. Tell others about Jesus Christ.
