What is Salvation and How Do We Receive It?

Salvation is the deliverance from the power
and penalty of sin;

God in his mercy-delivered us out of the power of
darkness (sin) , and translated us into the kingdom
of the Son of his love; in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of our sins: Colossians 1:13; 14

Do we all Sin?:
Sin is the deliberate disobedience to the known will of God. The
scriptures tell us - there is none righteous, not even one; It says all of
us are like sheep which have gone astray, each of us has turned to his
own way.. Isaiah 53:6a. According to the bible everyone that is born
into this world is born into sin.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23 and the
wages of sin is death Romans 6:23. God in his mercy has delivered us
from sin and through Jesus we have Salvation.

Salvation is:
It is the saving of man from a state of sinfulness which leads to death and restoring
him to honor, worth, reputation and right standing with God. Jesus Christ is our
salvation , he died for the sins of [the] just as well as [the] unjust, so that He
might bring us to God,.." 1 Peter3:18a

When you accept Christ into your life you become born again.
It is the day of new beginnings! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any
man be in Christ, -( meaning any man who believes in Christ- any man
who follows after Christ) [he is] a new creation - old things have passed away; and behold, all things have become new."

Know that salvation was brought with a price the precious blood of
Jesus Christ. He voluntarily died on that cross for you and I, rose the
third day and because he lives we live to life and life more abundantly..

God has a wonderful plan for your life:
But sin separates us from that plan and as long as we are separated
from Him he cannot fulfill the plans he has for our lives. Salvation is
God’s way of setting in order His plans and purposes for our lives so that
we will be able to receive it!

Jeremiah 29:11 says I know the plans I have for you for good and not
for evil to give you a hope and a future. Without salvation we would be
separated from God forever, we would be like sheep gone astray with
out God, with out hope and doomed to spiritual death through out
eternity.

Ask yourself this question can you stand eternal separation? Do you
want to be apart from God? Do you want to live in hell forever? The bible describes hell as a place of eternal torment. It is not God’s desire to see us
perish but have everlasting life and to live with him through out eternity.

How do we receive Salvation?

It is a simple process- and it can only come through Jesus Christ:

John 1:12 says: But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right
to become children of God, [even] to those who believe in His name,..."

The first step to receiving salvation is:

#1 You must fist acknowledge that you are a sinner.

1jo 1:9 says - If we would just confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

#2 You must believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose the third day
and is now seated on the right hand of God interceding on your behalf.

#3 You must invite Him into your heart by faith.

That is all it takes to receive salvation.

Romans 10:9- 10 - if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believe unto righteousness
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Let us pray the Pray of Salvation Together:
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I know You
died on the cross for me. I now turn from my sins and ask You to forgive me. I invite You into my heart and life. I trust You as Savior and will follow
You as Lord. Thank You for saving me. Amen."

Now you need to get into a bible teaching church because the decision
you have made today is the beginning of a new life for you. In order to
walk and grow in your new life you will need to learn the word of God for
every circumstance in your life and in doing so you will be blessed!
