Why do I need to be saved?

We are all born with sin (Romans 3:23; Psalm 51:5), and personally choose to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8). Sin is what separates us from God. Sin has us on a path to destruction. But you can choose to follow Him right now by praying a prayer of Salvation to Jesus.

Salvation is God’s free gift to us and we become His children.

Romans 10:9 says that “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

It is an irrevocable acceptance into the family of God and it is an empowerment to live life wholly and fully with the purpose of reflecting God to the rest of His creation.

Because death, the just penalty for sin, is infinite and eternal, only God could pay the penalty, because only He is infinite and eternal. But God, could not die. So God became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin (1 John 2:2). He took the consequences we deserved. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His death was indeed the perfectly sufficient sacrifice for sin.

“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). God has already done all of the work. All you must do is receive, in faith, the salvation God offers (Ephesians 2:8-9). Fully trust in Jesus alone as the payment for your sins. Believe in Him, and you will not perish (John 3:16). God is offering you salvation as a gift. All you have to do is accept it. Jesus is the way of salvation (John 14:6).

Prayer of Salvation

Dear Jesus, I know that I have done wrong by living without You. I am sorry and I trust that You will forgive me. I accept Your love and grace for me and ask that You would be my Lord. Help me believe in You and love You every day, and help me to show the world what You are like and how great Your love is. in Jesus name. Amen.
