Christ is the Answer
What is Salvation?
• Salvation is deliverance from sin.
• The sin that separates me from God.
• The sin that binds me (Rom.6:14).
• Salvation secures my place in heaven.
What is Sin?
Sin is the transgression of God’s law and we sin every day in thought, word and deed. The Bible says:
“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
“The wages of sin is death”(Romans 6:23).
Eternal death means separation from God in the lake of fire - for ALL ETERNITY (Revelation 20:14-15).
How Does God Provide Salvation?
God sent His Son into the world as a babe. Christ lived a sinless life, was perfect among men and suffered and died on the cross as He took the punishment for your sin and mine. On the third day He rose from the grave and showed His power over death. He ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven. The Lord Jesus is now preparing a home in heaven for all who put their trust in Him. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16).
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
How can I be Saved?
First, God convicts me of my sin.
Second, there must be repentance toward God. Then there must be a simple faith in Jesus Christ.
The Bible says: “Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out” (Acts 3:19).
I must realize that I am lost before I can be saved.
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:11).
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Can I be Sure?
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
God cannot lie. He always keeps His promises.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Faith takes God at His Word.
“He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may KNOW that you HAVE eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God “ (1 John 5:12-13).
Make it Personal.
Admit to God that you are a lost sinner unable to save yourself; that you are truly sorry for all you have done and that you need to be saved.
Thank God for sending His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus, to bear your sin on the cross for “he bare our sins in his own body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24).
Call upon the Lord to save you for “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom.10:13).
Receive the Gift of God. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Ask the Lord Jesus to come into your life and then believe His promise and thank the Heavenly Father for making you a member of His family. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). God has a plan for each one of His children but until we are saved we cannot see His will fulfilled in our experience.
