In yesterday's post I spoke about Facing The Giants and what a wonderful story of faith it is. Also, I mentioned Mark Richt's statement to Grant "You became a winner the day you accepted Jesus Christ." I hope all of you who are reading this blog are winners. I pray that you have accepted Christ as your Savior. It is such and easy thing to do. So simple yet with eternal implications. Becoming a Christian is as easy as ABC.
The ABC’S of Salvation
A—ADMIT that YOU are a sinner. Everyone has done things that are displeasing to a Holy God. Romans 3:23: “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” God tells us that no sin can enter heaven. Revelation 21:25-27 “Its [Heaven’s] gates will never be shut by day, and there won’t be any night. They’ll bring the glory and honor of the nations into the City. Nothing dirty or defiled will get into the City, and no one who defiles or deceives. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will get in." Something must be done to get rid of your sin.
B—BELIEVE that Jesus died on the cross for YOU. Jesus shed his blood to save YOU from YOUR sins. He took YOUR place on the cross, and suffered punishment for YOUR sin. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." 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."
C—CONFESS your sinfulness to God, and turn from it. Tell God you’re sorry for your sins and that you believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Savior from sin. This may be a simple but sincere cry from your heart, or it may be expressed out loud. Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." When you do this (and mean it!) you are “saved.” You, along with all the others who believe in Jesus, will spend eternity in heaven with Him.
Will you now call upon Jesus to save you from your sin so that you can know God’s love and forgiveness?
Pray like this: “Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I am sorry. I need a Savior. I know I cannot save myself. I believe by faith that Jesus, your Son, died on the cross to be my Savior. I believe He arose from the grave to live as my Lord. I turn from my sin. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to forgive my sin and come into my heart. I trust you as my Savior and receive you as my Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me.”
