"Salvation"

How do I receive salvation?
Salvation cannot be bought. We have to reach out to Jesus and ask for forgiveness for all our sins. We have to go to the most inner self within and relinquish our souls to God. There is nothing you can do to earn salvation. You must be saved by the grace of God, in receiving him (the Lord) you have to be willing to give over all your sins and trust in Him always. Does this means you will never sin, no, of course not for as we have shared before in Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Every one of us is a sinner. Every one of us has come short of God's glory. No one but Jesus Himself is sin free.
Jesus chose to give us salvation when He gave His life on that cross, when He asked that we must come through Him to get to His Father. Do we deserve His salvation, NO, we don’t for we consistently sin, we deserve to be punished, but what you need to see is that Jesus wants to give us salvation, He desires this, it’s our choice rather we will ever receive it.
If you want to have Jesus Christ in your life and receive His salvation, you will need to do the following things. I hope you will join me today in accepting His salvation for us.
1. Trust In Christ
Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In order to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you must repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ alone if you have any hope of eternal life.
2. Repent
The Bible teaches us that all people “must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus” (Acts 20:21b). When we repent of our sins, God forgives us and wipes our slate clean. “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out” (Acts 3:19a). Repentance is more than just asking God for forgiveness, it is also changing our attitude toward sin. We must now live in a way that is pleasing to God.
3. Believe “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
“You must confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, to be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Romans 10:9-10). When you put your trust in Jesus Christ, it means that you believe that He is the Son of God, who died for you on the cross and rose from the dead. It is a transfer of trust from your own good works or religion to Christ as the only way of salvation.
“For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
What are the results of our salvation?
God’s Promise of Eternal Life
Jesus said in John 5:24 “I tell you the truth; whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”
Do you have a desire to have a relationship with God? Will you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today? Don’t waste any time, get on your knees now and ask God for eternal life through Jesus Christ.
