The ABC's Of Salvation

Some people think a personal relationship with God is complicated.  Actually, God's plan for salvation is simple enough for everyone to understand.  Here are the ABC's of salvation.

Admit

Admit to God that you are a sinner.  All persons need salvation.  "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).  Since none of us are perfect we are all sinners.  The result of sin is separation from God, but admitting that we are sinners is the first step to turning away from sin and self and turning toward God.

Believe

Believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and receive Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin.  God loves each of us and has provided a way of forgiveness through Jesus.  Although we have done nothing to deserve His love and salvation, God wants to save us.  Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, God provided salvation for all who would turn away from their sins and believe in Jesus. 

Confess

Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.  After you have asked Jesus into your life as Lord and Savior, share your decision with another person.  Tell a Christian friend or reach out to a pastor to share in your great decision.  Ask for baptism by immersion in a local church as a public expression of faith.  "If you confess with your mouth 'Jesus as Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).

If you have asked Jesus into your life today, CONGRATULATIONS!  We would love to hear from you and assist in anyway possible.  Please contact the church at 601-428-0416 and ask to speak to the pastor.
