Perhaps you have seen these words on a billboard or on a banner in a stadium.
JESUS SAVES
is not just a phrase made up
by some religious fanatic.
They come from the Bible.
The words save, saved, SAVIOR, and salvation are
found hundreds of times in
GOD's WORD.
JESUS is the SAVIOR, the ONE WHO saves.
"And she shall bring forth a SON, and thou shalt call HIS name JESUS: for HE shall save HIS people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21)
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a SAVIOR, which is CHRIST the LORD." (Luke 2:11)
JESUS came to save lost sinners.
"For the SON of MAN is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that CHRIST JESUS came into the world to save sinners." (1st.Timothy 1:15)
JESUS is the only ONE WHO can save.
"Be it known unto you all . . . that by the name of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth, WHOM ye crucified, WHOM GOD raised from the dead, even by HIM doth this man stands here before you whole . . . Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:10-12)
"Moreover, brethren I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-4)
JESUS give us the faith we need to be saved.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
JESUS saves those who believe in HIM by faith.
"For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believes 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. He that believes on HIM is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten SON of GOD." (John 3:16-18)
JESUS saves anyone who asks HIM.
". . . believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)
". . . whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Acts 2:21)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved . . . For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:9,13)
JESUS saves now and forever.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us . . . That being justified by HIS grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:5,7)
JESUS wants you to be saved today.
". . . BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b)
". . . There is no GOD else beside ME; a just GOD and a SAVIOR; there is none beside ME. Look unto ME, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I AM GOD, and there is none else." (Isaiah 45:21,22)
If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST in repentance (a turning to GOD from your sin) and faith, pray this simple prayer of salvation:
LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.
"Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto GOD by HIM, seeing HE ever lives to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25)
Your servant in CHRIST,
