A Spiritual Guide

No one likes to think that today may be their last day on earth, but if you were to die today would you know for sure that you are going to heaven?

Perhaps you have never known or are curious as to what God and Jesus is all about. Maybe you grew up around religion and have never learned about the true Gospel. Or maybe you have blocked God from your life due to circumstances or wrong teachings and have a fear that God has condemned you and does not love or care about you.

No matter the reason, God loves you and wants to be in your life. He wants you to have the wonderful life that you were intended to live. I am here to explain to you what salvation is and how you can know for sure that you have received it and how you can obtain it if you have not.

Salvation is the Deliverance (release) from sin or the consequences of sin.

What is Sin?
A sin is an thought, behavior, or action taken that is knowingly wrong.

I will answer some common questions about what the Bible says about sin and salvation. You will be able to reference my answers from the King James Bible.

1. How do I that know that I am delivered from the consequences of sin?
1 John 5:13 states: "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

If You believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died, was buried, and was risen three days later then you are delivered from the consequences of sin.

2. But, I have done so many good things for others and try my best to always do good. How am I still a sinner without salvation?
Romans 3:23 states: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Since the beginning of creation when Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit we have been penalized and are all born into sin. To learn more of Adam and Eve's sin and the concequences we all face due to it, please read Genesis Chapter 3. Click Here

3. What Are The Consequences For My Sins?
Romans 6:23 states: "For the wages of sin is death;"

Revelation 20:14 states: "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

We have all sinned in some way and no matter what we do to try and correct that we still fall short of receiving God's Gift of Salvation.

4. Is There a Way For Me to Receive God's Gift of Salvation?
Yes! Jesus is the way.

Yes, Romans 6:23 states "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Jesus, paid the price for our sins so that we may all enjoy salvation. Romans 5:8 states: "But God commendeth (handed over) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

5. How Do I Receive This Gift of Salvation?
The only way to receive the gift of salvation is through Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:9-10 states "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."

Romans 10:11-13 "For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

No matter who you are or what you have done all are able to receive this wonderful gift of eternal life with God.

If you have not and are ready to receive the Gift of Salvation please pray this prayer:  

Dear God,

I recognize that I have sinned and fallen short of receiving the gift of salvation.
I believe with all of my heart that Your son, Jesus died for me and paid my wages for the sins that I have commited.

Please forgive me Jesus, for all of my sins and allow me the salvation that you have graciously given to those who accept You.

I have complete trust in You and from this moment on I will depend on You for my salvation.

In Jesus name, I pray....Amen.

Now, if you just said this prayer and it was truly from your heart then you have the Gift of Salvation. That means that you are now enjoying eternal life with our Saviour Jesus Christ.

God Bless
