The "Roman's Road" plan of salvation!
Do you know THE WAY? That is, do you know the way of Salvation? You may be asking, what is salvation? Yes, if you are saved, you know for sure that you will go to Heaven when you die. But, it's more than simply "going to Heaven"! Salvation is the process by which you are drawn to God, (Philippians 2:12) and delivered from the eternal suffering that awaits people who are not saved.
So, do you want to know The Way? Well, it can be found in John 14:6, where Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." (New International Version) Quite simply, that means that you cannot approach God, except through Jesus Christ. He is the only one righteous enough to approach God, and the only way to approach God is through Christ. How do you do this? By giving your life to Jesus, inviting Him to come into your heart. (Romans 3:20)
There is a specific 'process' that you must go through to establish this relationship with Christ. This is validated by the Bible itself.
Steps to Salvation
1. Realize that you are a sinner. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God..." (Romans 3:23)
2. Realize that a price must be paid for your sin."...without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22) "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin; and in this way death came to all men, because all have sinned..." (Romans 5:12)
3. Realize
that the price for your sin has already been paid by Jesus Christ!
"For the
wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord." (Romans
6:23)
"But God
demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ
died for us." (Romans
5:8)
4. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and save your soul, and accept His sacrifice as the punishment for your sin. "That if you confess with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:13)
Are you willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior right now? We pray that you are! If so, please pray the following prayer to Jesus and He will save you this very moment! Remember, it's not the "accuracy" of every word that you say that's important, ...but rather, the sincerity of your heart that really matters!
...Here's the prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner.
I know that without you I will spend eternity in Hell when I die. But, you
said that you would save me if I would call upon You! Please cleanse me of
all my sins Lord, and come into my heart. I thank you for saving me, help
me now to live a life that's pleasing to You!
I pray this in Your Name, Amen."
If you prayed the above prayer, then we welcome you to the Family of God! You should now do two very important things:
1) Let us know, .. click on this link: macedoniaoffice@aol.com, or call us at (816)241-1431...and tell us you have just invited Christ into your heart! We want to rejoice, and pray for your new walk with Him!
2) Obtain a Bible, and start reading in the Gospel of
John in the New Testament. (One of the easier
versions to read is the New International Version)
Read, and pray to God every day so your new spiritual life may grow!
"I
write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you
may know that you have eternal life." (1
John 5:13)
If you don't feel that you are ready to accept Christ right now, we
sincerely pray that you will soon recognize your need, and become a member of
the Family of God! As Christians, we reap the reward of a new life
in Christ as soon as we start our new walk with Him. It's not something we
have to die to 'benefit" from, so won't you open the door to your
heart, and invite Him in today?
