How To Be Saved?

                        Have you ever tried asking this question through out your life? Have you ever wondered why you’re here on earth? If not, this site is for you!

                        The problem of man is sin, they sinned against the Father. The word of God says in Romans 3:23 that “all men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” and ‘the punishment of sin is eternal death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord." (Romans 6:23). God loves you and me and He doesn’t want anyone of his children to go into eternal torment that’s why he gave his only begotten Son to die for you. John 3:16 says “For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”. Eternal life in Christ Jesus was a promise but there is a condition. The condition is, you must accept and believe and make Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God is knocking at the door of our hearts and anyone who hears, he will enter and eat with him (Revelation 3:20). All you have to do is to acknowledge that you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness. Now if you think you need salvation and you decided to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can pray this short prayer.

                        "Father I acknowledge that I’ve sinned against you and my punishment is eternal death, Lord, I don’t want to go into eternal punishment, please forgive me of my sins and grant me eternal life. I open my heart and will accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please write my name in the book of life. Thank you Lord and help me to understand and do thy will, in Jesus name I pray, Amen".                   

                       Now if you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart then God is faithful and just to forgive your sins (I John 1:9).
