The ABC's
of
Salvation!
of
Salvation!
A - Admit: Admit to God that you are a sinner. We are all sinners and in
need of salvation. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
(Romans 3:23). Since none of us is perfect, all of us are sinners. (Romans
3:10-18).
B - Believe: Believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and receive Jesus' gift of
forgiveness from sin. God loves each of us. God provided salvation for all who
would repent of their sins and believe in Jesus, the son of God. "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" (John 3:16).
C - Confess: Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. "If
you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in all your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified as it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved"
(Romans 10:9-10).
Sample Prayer: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I am truly sorry, and
now I want to turn away from my past sinful life. Please forgive me, and help me
avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus, died on the cross for my sins
to save me and I invite Him into my heart. I want Jesus to become the Lord of my
life. Please help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus'
name I pray, Amen."
