HERE IS A simple outline of the basic steps necessary to help any person receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

I want to tell you how you can be saved from hell, saved from your sins, saved from death, saved from disease, saved from evil.

You can be saved right now!

The Bible says: “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” I Ti. 1:15.

The Bible says: “God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved” Jn. 3:17.

Peter said: “Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved” Ac. 2:21.

You can be saved today. This is what you need to be SAVED -to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.

But what does it mean to be saved?

FIRST: It means to be born again – to become a child of God.

Jesus said, “Ye must be born again” Jn. 3:7. This is a miracle. Christ actually enters your life, and you are made new because He begins to live in you. This is not accepting a religion; this is accepting CHRIST. He is a PERSON, not a philosophy. This is reality, not a theory. When I was married, and accepted my wife into my life, I did not get the “marriage RELIGION I received a person -my wife. And when I was saved by receiving Christ into my life, I did not get the”Christian RELIGION;” I received a person the Lord Jesus. My conversion was as definite an experience as was my marriage. On both occasions, I received another PERSON into my life.

The Bible says: “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” Jn. 1:12.

What a marvel that man can receive a new birth and be born into God’s royal family. You have been born once – born in sin – a child of sin – a servant of the devil. Now Christ says: “Ye must be born again” Jn. 3:7. You must be converted – be saved be changed – be made new.

SECOND: To be saved means to have your sins forgiven.

The Bible says: “He forgiveth all thine iniquities” Ps. 103:3.

The angel said: “Thou shalt call His Name JESUS: for He shall save his people from their sins” Mt. 1:21.

God says: “I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions . . .” Is. 43:25, “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more” Heb 10:17.

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us” Ps. 103:12.

THIRD: To be saved means to receive a new spiritual life.

Paul says: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” II Co. 5:17.

That’s exactly what happens when Christ saves you. A conversion takes place. Old desires, habits and diseases pass away. All things become new. You receive a new life, a new nature, new health, new desires, new ambitions. You receive Christ’s life.

He said: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” Jn. 10:10.

FOURTH: To be saved means to receive peace.

Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you” Jn. 14:27. He said, “I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace” Jn. 16:33.

Real peace only comes with Christ’s pardon and salvation, Man in sin can never have peace in his soul. The Bible says: “There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked” Is. 57:21. But “being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” Ro. 5:1.

FIFTH: To be saved means to have fellowship with God.

You were created in God’s likeness, so you could walk and talk with God. But your sin has separated you from God. Now, instead of fellowship with the Father, you fear God – the thought of facing Him frightens you. Your sin

condemns you and marks you guilty before God.

Only Christ can save you from your sins. He will blot out every stain and bring you back to God with a clean record – as if you had never sinned. Then you can say with John: “Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ” I Jn. 1:3.

He will be “a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother” Pr. 18:24.

Man was not made for a life of sin and disease. Man was made to walk with God. But sin has separated him from God.

“Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” Is. 59:2. But, his blood was shed for many, for the remission of sins” Mt. 26:28. “If we confess our sins (to Him), He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” I Jn. 1:9.

John said, “WE KNOW that we have passed from death unto life” I Jn. 3:14. There are many things in this world which you may never know, but you can KNOW you have Christ’s life in you. Youcan KNOW that you have been saved – that you are born again.

To say, “I do not know for sure if I am saved,” is like a husband or a wife saying, “I do not know for sure if I am married.”

To say, “I think I’m saved; I try to be, but I am not sure about it,” is like saying, “I think I’m married; I try to be, but I am not sure about it.”

Jesus said, “He that believeth (the Gospel) and is baptized SHALL BE SAVED” Mk. 16:16.

Paul said, “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” Ro. 10:9.

These Scriptures promise: “YOU SHALL BE SAVED.” Follow them, do what they say, and you can KNOW that you have received Christ – that you have passed from death unto life -that you are saved! This is not accepting a religion; this is Christianity – the CHRIST-LIFE!

“What is a real Christian?” According to the Bible, a real Christian is a person who (1) has come to God as a lost sinner, (2) accepted by faith the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, by surrendering to Him as Lord and Master, (3) confesses Christ as Lord before the world, and then (4) strives to please Him in everything, every day of his life.

If you are not sure that you have personally accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Master, then follow these seven steps prayerfully.

FIRST: Realize that you are a sinner. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Ro. 3:23. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves” I Jn. 1: 8.

SECOND: Truly be sorry for and repent for your sins, “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto Heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner” Lu. 18:13. “For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation” II Co. 7:10.

THIRD: Confess your sins to God. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” Pr. 28:13. “If we confess our sins (to Him), He is faithful and just to fogive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” I Jn. 1:9.

FOURTH: Forsake your sins, or put them away. “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him . . . for He will abundantly pardon” Is. 55-7. “Whoso confesseth and forsakes (his sins) shall have mercy” Pr. 28:13.

FIFTH: Ask forgiveness for your sins. “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities” Ps. 103:3. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

SIXTH: Consecrate your entire life to Christ.

“Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in Heaven” Mt. 10:32. “But ye are a chosen generation … that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” I Pt. 2:9.

SEVENTH: Believe that God saves you by His grace. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” Ep. 2:8-9.

Right now, find a place alone with God, get on your knees and pray to the Lord this prayer right out loud.

Say: “I believe on Jesus Christ, God’s Son; I believe that in Your great mercy and love, You died for me, in my place. I believe that You bore my sins in Your own body on the cross. I believe You rose from the dead.

“I do here and now welcome You into my heart as my Savior from sin, from hell, and from all the power of the devil. I accept Christ as Lord of my life, and here and now devote my life to pleasing You.

“Jesus Christ, You have said that if I will come to You, that You will in no wise cast me out. I have come to You with all my heart, as a poor, helpless, guilty sinner, seeking salvation, and trusting only in Your blood. I am sure that You do not reject me.

“I believe that You do at this very moment take me in. I believe that You forgive me now. Your precious blood washes all my sins away. You were wounded for my transgressions; You were bruised for my iniquities; the punishment I ought to have endured was laid upon You.

“I know I am forgiven. Praise the Lord! Jesus saves me now;
