Steps To Salvation

Steps to Salvation

~ SIX STEPS TO SALVATION~

If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, we invite you to do so now. The Bible promises that when you pray a prayer like the one written here from your heart, you will experience a new life in Christ. These steps will guide you from a life without Christ to a life of eternal glory with Christ once you can just follow the steps below:

STEP ONE: ACKNOWLEDGE

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

STEP TWO: REPENT

Luke 13:3 - I tell you, nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

STEP THREE: CONFESS

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

STEP FOUR: FORSAKE

Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

STEP FIVE: BELIEVE

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

STEP SIX: RECEIVE

John 1:11 & 12 - He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

Once you’ve done this, confess these steps openly:

Father, I come to You just as I am. There is nothing I can do to earn salvation; I cannot work my way into a right relationship with You. The Bible says that we are saved by grace through faith as a gift from You. I confess that I have sinned against You and others. I ask You to forgive me and wash me clean with the precious, life-giving blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son. I believe that He died for me-He took my sin upon Himself and died on the cross for me. And I believe that He was raised from the dead, giving me power over the enemy. Jesus, I ask You to come live inside of me. I don’t understand everything about being a Christian, but I invite You into my life to help me learn daily how I am to live. Thank You, Father, for Your gift of restoration and eternal life. I am so grateful for Your love and mercy. In Jesus’ name, amen.
