Are you saved?
Yes, friend, Dave loved to sing about his Lord and Savior Jesus but the real reason he did this is not to promote himself and his self wants (even though he loved what he did) but to see people become part of the family of God. So the most important question of your life. Are you saved & would you go to heaven if you died?
God says in order to go to heaven you must be born again. (John 3:7) "Ye must be born again." God has given us a plan of salvation. Do you want it? If you do, realize you're a sinner. (Romans 3:23) "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death and eternal separation from God in hell. (Romans 6:23) "For the wages of sin is death." Eternal separation in hell! What's so bad about hell? Well then lets see what the bible says about hell.
Hell is conscious torment. (Matthew 13:50) "throw them into a blazing furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Mark 9:48) "where their worms do not die and the fire is not quenched." (Revelation 14:10) "he will be tormented with fire and brimstone." Hell is eternal and irreversible. (Revelation 14:11) "the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day & night." (Revelation 20:15) "If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Wow, non-stop torment, unquenched thirst, feeling of fire, and uncontrollable weeping. Sounds horrible and not somewhere I would want to call my permanent place of residence. Why would you want it to be yours! It doesn't have to be.
THIS IS THE BEST PART. God loved you so much he gave his only begotten son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. (2 Corinthians 5:21) "He hath made him to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Jesus had to shed his blood and die in our place. (Hebrews 9:22) "without shedding of blood there is no pardon." (Romans 5:8) "God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Because of this unselfish act of love, Jesus gave HIS LIFE so you can go to a wonderful, happy, joyful place. All you have to do is admit you're a sinner, turn from sin, and believe he really died for you. It's a no-brainer. Just do it. Instant forgiveness.
So now what should I do if I realize I'm a sinner?
(Acts 17:30) "God commanded all men everywhere to repent." This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. (Acts 16:30-31) a question was asked, "What must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Simply believe on him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection assures that you can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior. (Romans 10:13) "For whosoever (YOU) shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall (NOT MAYBE) be saved."
Ok, now that I realize I'm a sinner that needs to repent, just take God at his word & claim his salvations by faith. Believe and you will be saved. If you believe on him as your Savior, you will received forgiveness for all of your sins, his gift of eternal salvation by faith, and be restored to the father to enter into heaven for eternally. Speak the words below out of your mouth and mean every word. You can do it!!
Lift your heart to God in prayer and repeat these words:
OH GOD, I'M A SINNER. I BELIEVE JESUS BORE MY SIN WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS. I BELIEVE HIS SHED BLOOD, DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION WERE FOR ME. I NOW RECEIVE HIM AS MY SAVIOR. THANK YOU FATHER FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS THROUGH JESUS, THE GIFT OF SALVATION AND EVERLASTING LIFE, BECAUSE OF YOUR MERCIFUL GRACE AND LOVE FOR ME. AMEN
Congratulations, my brother or sister, you are now a member of the Family of God. Your sins are washed clean, your name is written in the book of life, and now you will forever in heaven. PRAISE GOD!!
After you are saved, do these every day for spiritual growth:
**PRAY
It's you talking to God about everything, good or bad.
**READ YOUR BIBLE
God instructing you on how to live and behave. This is your daily bread, the living word.
**WITNESS
It's you talking to others about God's grace and the gift of life through Jesus.
Finally, join a bible teaching/believing church so you can fellowship and worship God with other believers and be baptized as a public testimony of your salvation.
God bless and have a blessed life in the Lord Jesus.
