John 3:16 & 17
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.
For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Salvation:
My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends on your answer. The Question is : Are you saved? It's not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a member of a church, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again." In the bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again, which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How? First, you must realize you are a sinner. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"(Romans 3:23). Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. "For the wages [payment] of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. But God loved you so much He gave his only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
"...He hath made Him [Jesus, Who Knew no sin] to be sin for us.....that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" ( 2 Corinthians 5:21)Jesus had to shed his blood and die."For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Leviticus17:11)"...without shedding of blood is no remission[pardon] ( Hebrews 9:22). " But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" ( Romans 5:8) Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie
My friend "God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the cross. In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: "... 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' And they said, Believe on the LORD Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..." Simply believe on Him as the One who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.Just Pray: " Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life. Amen."
Just take God at His word and claim his salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
