The Keys to Eternal LIFE!!

The Apostle Peter wrote in his letter that Jesus Christ paid for our salvation with His death on the cross, “For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver.  It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.” (1 Peter 1:18-20). 

But for us to accept this gift is as simple as using these keys to unlock the door:

ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE SINNED

“If we claim to be without sin, 

we deceive ourselves and the 

truth is not in us.” 

                             (1John 1:8)

“For all have sinned and fall short 

of the glory of God.” 

                              (Romans 2:23

 

BELIEVE IN JESUS

“For God loved the world so much that 

He gave his one and only Son, 

so that everyone who believes in Him 

will not perish but have eternal life.” 

                                             

                                                    (John 3:16)

 

CONFESS and RENOUNCE YOUR SIN

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.” 

                                                (Romans 10:9-10)

“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 

                                                       (1 John 1:9)

Sinner's Prayer - Recognizing the Need

After you’ve got these keys on your hands, and you believe it, now it is the time to pray the "Sinner's Prayer". The sinner’s prayer is a term that describes the words spoken by a person when he or she has recognized their sin and their need for a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Read this prayer out loud and with the sincerity of your heart and soul:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.

• Get baptized as commanded by Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20)
• Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
• Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible. (Joshua 1:8-9; Psalm 1)
• Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you. (Hebrews 10:25)
• Find a local church where you can worship God.
