Yes You Can Be Saved!

You can be saved! Your life can be free from sin and guilt.You can become a new person,with a living hope of an eternal life.You can be a child of God.
You can be saved! God wants you to be saved.He has made all the provisions.He sent His only Son,Jesus Christ,to the earth.Here Jesus lived a perfect life.Here He died to save you and me from the eternal fire of hell.But He didn't stay in the grave.He rose in victory to give us life.Now,as you read this,He is in heaven interceding with God for us.
Ynu can be saved! Jesus' blood opens the way for you.Now He wants you to open the way for Him.He says,"Look! I stand at the door amd knock.If you hear my voice and open the door,I will come in,and we will share a meal together as friends" -Revelation 3:20.God won't force you to be saved.But Jesus is knocking,waiting for you to invite Him in.To be saved,you must open your heart to Him.
You cannot save yourself.Neither can you earn salvation,but you will be saved as you,by faith in Jesus,turn from your sins to live for Him.

You must believe.To be saved,you must believe in God and in His Son Jesus Christ."God saved you by his grace when you believe.And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God.Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done so none of us can boast about it." -Ephesians 2:8-9.You must believe that God is.You must believe that He can save you."Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God." -1 John 5:1.Believing means more than just knowing something.Believing means taking God at His Word and doing what He says!

Do you believe God with all your heart? "And it is impossible to please God without faith.Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him." -Hebrews 11:6.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? "I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,so that you may know you have eternal life." -1 John 5:13.
Do you believe that Jesus can forgive your sins? "He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins." -Ephesians 1:7.
If you can say yes to these questions,then you can pray to God ,telling Him that you believe in Him and His salvation.
"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved." -Acts 16:31.

You must repent.When you believe that Jesus Christ will save your soul,you will repent.To repent is to be sorry for your past sins,and to not return to them again."For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation." -2 Corinthians 7:10.
Sincere sorrows for your sins will move you to confess your sins.You may not remember every one,but as they come to your mind you will confess them.Another part of repentance is making your wrongs right.If you stole a dime,replace it.If you lied,correct the statement.Make restitution.

You must live for Jesus.Receive Jesus into your heart,making Him Lord of your life.Accept Him as your ruler.Obey all His commands.He says,"You are my friends if you do what I command." -John 15:14.
As you obey your Lord Jesus,you will do God's will."Not everyone who calls out to me,'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. " -Matthew 7:21.
When you become a Christian,the Holy Spirit will come to dwell in your heart,His presence there will produce the fruit of the Spirit in your life:"love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness,and self-control." -Galatians 5:22-23.

Tell others about Jesus.What you believe,you will share.Help others become Christians."But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.And you will be my witnesses,telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem,throughout Judea,in Samaria,and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8.

You may claim God's promises."If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,you will be saved.For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God,and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.As the Scriptures tell us,"Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced."Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect.They have the same Lord,who gives generously to all who call on him.For "Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."" -Romans 10:9-13.
"However,those the Father has given me will come to me,and I will never reject them." -John 6:37.

If you obey God,you can know you are saved.Knowing this will give you deep peace in your soul.Your conscience will become clear as you make your wrongs right.The joy of the Lord will come upon you as you find new life in Chris
