Salvation Message

Jesus Christ is the Only Way to God the Father and Heaven

There is no other name under Heaven by which man can be saved other than through the name of Jesus Christ! God the Father will not honor any other name, religion or faith!

These first four verses specifically tell us, without any other possible interpretation, that Jesus Christ is the only way to be able to receive eternal salvation from God the Father.

1. "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we

must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

2. "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a

ransom for all ..." (1 Timothy 2:5)

3. "There is one body and one Spirit ... one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above

all, and through all, and in you all." (Ephesians 4:4)

4. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John

14:6)

If you choose not to believe in Jesus and His message of eternal salvation through His death on the cross, then you will die in your sins and go straight to hell when you die - no if, ands or buts about it! The life that we are living down here on this earth is serious business! The choices that we make in this life will determine our ultimate fate in the afterlife.

Choose Jesus and the blood that He has personally shed for you on the cross - and you will become saved and born again - and you will then enter into the most incredible place imaginable when you die - heaven itself!

God Desires All Men to be Saved

God has given each man and each woman a free will to make their own choices in this life. The next 3 verses will show us that God does not want anyone to perish, but that He will not make or force anyone to accept Him and His Son and what His Son's death on the cross really means for all of us.

We Are Saved by Grace Through Faith - Not Works

The gift of eternal salvation is a free gift given by God to all those who will believe on Jesus and what His death on the cross really means for all of us. These next 3 verses will specifically tell us that good works will not get us into heaven. Works are needed after salvation.

The Bible says that faith without works is dead - but that is after you have received God's gift of eternal salvation. After you get saved, God has a plan and a purpose for your life, and this is where you will go to work for God into whatever your calling is going to be in Him.

The Bible specifically tells us in that last verse that all men and all women have sinned and have fallen way short of the glory of our God. The Bible says that there are none that are righteous before the eyes of God the Father.

As a result, none of our fleshly works, no matter how good we think they may be, will ever be good enough to get us into heaven or back into the good graces of our Lord and Savior.

The Gift of Salvation Now Makes Us Righteous Before God the Father

Once you become saved and born again by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, the Bible says that we are now made perfectly righteous before the eyes of God. The righteousness of Jesus has now been imputed to us. This means that we are now free to approach the throne of God for intimate prayer and communication, and when we die, we will all go straight to heaven.

Even though we will continue to commit sin from time to time, God will always forgive us as long as we properly confess each sin when it does happen. We will never become totally sinless or perfect. No one will ever become the fourth person of the Holy Trinity. Only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are totally perfect in Their actual natures and in all of Their ways. Humans and angels are not!

The Bible says that all men have sinned and will continue to sin, and thus will fall way short of the glory of our God. That is why Jesus had to come and die for all of our sins - which will include all of the past sins that we have ever committed, all of the present sins we are now committing, and all of the future sins that we will ever commit.

How to Become Saved and Receive the Gift of Eternal Salvation

The Bible makes it very clear as to how to receive the Gift of Eternal Salvation from God the Father:

* Admit that we are sinners, be willing to confess our sins before God, and be willing to repent and turn from

those sins.

* Be willing to accept the fact that Jesus Christ came to our earth in the flesh to die on the cross for all of our

sins, that He rose from the dead on the third day, and then be willing to formally accept Him as your personal

Lord and Savior.

This acceptance of Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior must be confessed out loud before God the Father. It does not have to be done in a church.

This can happen to anyone at anytime at any place. It can be done in the privacy of one’s own bedroom. Here are three specific verses showing all of the above points.

1. "REPENT THEREFORE and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may

come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19)

2. "IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all

unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

3. "... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the

dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is

made to salvation." (Romans 10:9)

Notice the last verse says to confess with your mouth, and with the mouth confession is made to receive salvation. This means just saying a good, basic salvation prayer out loud direct to God the Father from your heart.

Below is a good, basic salvation prayer to give to someone who wants to get saved by accepting Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.

Say the following prayer out loud, believe it from your heart and you will be saved.

Dear Father,

I now believe that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, that He came to our earth in the flesh and died on the

cross to take away all of my sins and the sins of this world. I believe that Jesus Christ then rose from the dead on

the third day to give all of us eternal life.

Lord Jesus,

I now confess to You all of the wrong and sinful things I have ever done in my life. I ask that You please forgive

Me and wash away all of my sins by the blood that You have personally shed for me on the cross. I am now

ready to accept You as my personal Lord and Savior. I now ask that You come into my life and live with Me for

all of eternity.

Father, Jesus - I now believe that I am truly saved and born again.

Thank you Father, Thank you Jesus.

According to the Bible, the greatest thing we can accomplish in this life is to get another person saved and brought home to the Lord - because with the gift of eternal salvation comes the gift of eternal life - which means that when we die, we will be able to enter into heaven to be with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, all of Their angels and all of our saved loved ones who have passed away and are now living in heaven.

To bring a person into that reality after they die is the greatest thing you can do for another human being! It is the ultimate superman scenario. You are literally saving their eternal life. I don’t believe there is any other accomplishment that will bring about as much fulfillment as this one act will do.

If you believe the Holy Bible is truly the inspired and infallible Word of our God, then there is absolutely no other interpretation or spin that you can put on the above verses. God the Father has made it as clear as He possibly could with the way that He has worded all of the above Scripture verses.

Bottom line - God's free gift of eternal salvation can only be received by accepting His Son Jesus Christ and the blood that He has personally shed for each and everyone of us on that day He died on the cross.

There is no other way into the kingdom of God! We either come through the blood and the cross - or we don't come through at all!
