Who Will SAVE you?
Wherever you are in life, there are times you know that you can't do it on your own. And when you hit rock bottom, you learn that there are times when there's nothing you can do at all. Life can feel hopeless. Whether you're there right now, been there, or know someone who is, you know what it's like to need help; to need a Savior. But who can really save you? |
"There is SALVATION in no one other than JESUS, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be SAVED." Acts 4:12
You ask, "The what must I do to be SAVED?"
Jesus said, "Repent and believe the Gospel." REPENT means to have a change of heart about sin and about God. God requires perfection and He says that even one sin would separate me from Him forever. Does it surprise you to know that you and I deserve God's punishment forever? Surprised? Click here.
Whatever you're going through, as rough as it may be, the eternal punishment of God for your sins is greater still. We all deserve this punishment for breaking God's perfect Law. Even in this hopeless situation, God rescues us through the Gospel.

The GOSPEL is the good news about God's Son, Jesus Christ, and what He did for each of us. Jesus lived the perfect life that we cannot live. Then, He was punished for all of our sins when He suffered and died on the cross. Finally, He rose from the dead to confirm that His sacrifice paid for our sins and to guarantee our life with God forever. That's GOOD NEWS!
I'd like to share this GOOD NEWS with you in a personal way.

Do you know who PROMISED that?
God (Jesus) did! Now, if I promised that to you I could be lying, but the Bible says, "God who cannot lie, promised!" (Titus 1:2) Now, God cannot lie, and He promised everlasting life to all through Jesus, who is the Savior from sin. Isn't it wonderful to know that with Jesus as your Savior you will spend eternity in heaven? ALL who believe this promise have been SAVED!

Would you like to have this certainty of going to heaven your whole life?
I'd like to illustrate by asking, What would happen to you if you wouldn't eat or drink anything for six months? Right, you would die physically. In a similar way, if your belief in Jesus is not fed or strengthened, what could happen to your faith in Him? Right, it could die also. The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing the Word of God." (Romans 10:17) Just as you need physical food for your body, you need spiritual FOOD for your faith to grow. That is why I encourage you to go at every opportunity to a church where they teach that Jesus suffered, died, and rose in victory for all of your sins. I also encourage you to read your Bible daily. In this way God will feed your faith and keep you sure of going to heaven. |
