How To Be Saved For Eternal Life

We are ALL Sinners

No matter how good of a person you are, we sin, breaking God's law every

day. Sin is a curse over this world that we cannot avoid. Without the help of God, we will sin blindly with hardened hearts, following the footsteps of Satan, who rules over this world.

​

• Romans 3:10 "There is no one righteous, not even one."

​

• James 2:10 "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." 

​

• ​Ephesians 2:1-2. "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient."

​

The Penalty  Is Death

Sin leads us straight to death. We are born sinners under the curse of sin

brought on by Adam. God keeps a book of everything we have ever done in our lives. He will look into his records on our judgment day, and He will have an account of all of our sins. Since we can not avoid the curse of sin, we will all be judged guilty in God's eyes. This serves the most severe penalty, and we will be given eternal death in the lake of fire. 

​

• Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

​

• Romans 5:12 "Therefore, as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned,"

​

• Revelation 20:11-14 "Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death."

Christ Paid Our Penalty

God came down to this world through the womb of a virgin woman. Named Jesus, He was 100% man and 100% God. Jesus is not another God. He is a part of the one true God with three unique characteristics in one essence known as the Trinity. "Click here for more information on the Trinity." Jesus was a righteous man, the only person never to sin. He did not deserve to die on the cross, and He did not deserve to be filled with our sins. When Jesus hung on that cross, He saw YOU, every one of us, independently and personally. Jesus willingly died to provide a way through Himself to redeem us from our sins and for us to become righteous in the presence of God, repairing our broken relationship with Him. He knew what must be done to save us from eternal death. So Jesus held back 12 legions of angels who would have rescued Him. He chose to limit himself to an Earthly body and die on that cross. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, He puts you in the "Book of Life" when you call upon Him. When you are entered in the Book of Life, Jesus erases your books of sin, and God only sees your name in the Book of Life. DO NOT leave Jesus at the cross. He rose three days later and currently resides in Heaven next to the Father. Christ is NOT dead. He is alive, waiting to return and rapture His people, bringing them to everlasting life with Him.

• John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

• Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

• Ephesians 1:7 " In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace."

• Isiah 44:22 "I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”

• Acts 2:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,"

• Matthew 26:53-54 "Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"

• Revelation 20:15 "Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."

• Mark 16:19 "After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven, and he sat at the right hand of God."

Salvation Is A Free Gift

If you choose to accept the gift Jesus offers, your sins will be wiped clean and your name will be written in the lambs book of life. All you have to do to be saved is to call upon Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believing in Him by faith, and repent of your sins. Repenting means to turn away from your sins, not willingly going back to them. Call out for God to change you. Accept His Holy Spirit into your body and be born again to live a new life.
