 What is meant by Salvation? |

|
. . . Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, eveyone who sins is a slave to sin...If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:34-36 ALL PEOPLE have turned away from God and broken the law of . He calls this sin. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 LEFT TO OURSELVES, there is no rescue, and the justice of God requires our eternal damnation in the terrors of hell. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 3:36 VICTORY over sin was obtained when God sent His Son Jesus to earth. Jesus obeyed God's laws perfectly, yet He died to pay for the sins of all who believe. "This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." 1 John 4:10 |

. . . Here is how you can be 100% sure that you are going to Heaven... 1. Realize and acknowledge: "all have sinned and come to the short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 Yes, all men, including you, have come short of Heaven because of sin. 2. Realize and acknowledge: "the wages of sin is death," Romans 6:23 All men die physically, but all men do not die spiritually. You can be born again through Jesus Christ and be saved from the penalty of sin which is an eternal Hell, a place of "fire and brimstone, which is the second death," Revelation 21:8 3. Realize and acknowledge: "Christ died for our sins," I Corinthians 15:3 Jesus Christ paid the entire price on the cross for your sin. God set the price on sin, which was a perfect sacrifice, and then God Himself gave His own Son to pay the price. 4. Realize and acknowledge: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord," Romans 6:23 God offers you freely His gift of eternal life. This gift is yours by believing in a risen Christ who arose on the third day and is alive forever more. 5. Realize and acknowledge: "Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," Romans 10:13. Whosoever means you. If you by simple faith will trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your soul's salvation, you can be 100% sure that you are going to Heaven. Nothing else will do...not church membership, not baptism, not confirmation, not communion. None of these things can save us from sin. Only Jesus Christ. 6. Confess and ask: Why not pray this prayer..."Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive me for my sin and come into my heart and save me. Thank you for saving me. Amen."
