How to be Saved by Trusting in Jesus Christ

First, we need to understand why we need to be saved.

Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus christ our Lord." Also, Reference Genesis Chapter 3.

Now, because of the sin we know that man is appointed to die. Now, look at the love that God has for us.

St. John 3:16,17 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

We can also see God's love through the book of Romans.

Romans 3:22-25 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom god hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

Now that we know we are sinners appointed to die. Next, you see that we have a way to obtain eternal salvation through Jesus christ. Let's look at how we obtain salvation?

Romans 10:9 "That 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 believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

we must do the ABC's.

A ccept.....Accept that we are sinners.

B elieve....Believe that Jesus lived a perfect life and overcame death to be a perfect (holy) sacrifice.

C onfess....Confess that Jesus Christ is your Savior
