" A B C It's Simple To Be Saved ! "

 

Salvation is simple, but it is not cheap.

It cost JESUS CHRIST everything so that salvation could be offered to us freely. GOD had provided salvation on a basis which makes it available to everyone and anyone who wants it. If salvation could be received on the basis of Education, multitudes would be excluded. If eternal life could be had on the basis of Wealth, the vast majority of people would be left out. If being saved were dependent upon a person's Moral Perfection, everyone would fall short. GOD has made HIS salvation available on the basis of a personal faith which even a child can exercise. This way, EVERYONE is viewed on the same level in the eyes of GOD. All must come to HIM on the same terms. (Romans 3:9-10). Paul said, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works, lest any many should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9).

How simple is it to be saved ?

1. It is as simple as entering a door. "I AM the DOOR; by ME if any man enter in, he shall be saved. . ." (John 10:9a).

2. It is as simple as calling for help. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).

3. It is as simple as coming when called. "Come unto ME, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28).

4. It is as simple as receiving a gift. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD." (Romans 6:23).

5. It is as simple as drinking water. JESUS said, "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:14).

6. It is as simple as eating bread. JESUS said, "For the bread of GOD is HE which cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world. . .I AM the living bread which came down from Heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall liver forever:" (John 6:33,51).

7. It is as simple as believing the Gospel. "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 15:1-2a,3-4).

8. It is as simple as believing GOD. "Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life:" (John 6:47).

Many people stumble at the simplicity of salvation. They often feel that they must do something to earn or deserve such a wonderful offer. Yes, something had to be done so that salvation could be offered to us freely, but JESUS did it ALL. All you must do is believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again. You then must repent and turn to GOD from your sin. Repentance is a turning from something to something; in this case you are turning to GOD from your sin. You then can receive HIM into your heart.

Why not make that all-important decision which will transform your life and bring you into a right relationship with GOD ? It is so very simple, and it works.

It's simply up to you !

Are you willing to settle the matter of your eternal destiny ? Will you do it ? You can, right this moment; right where you are. "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." (Romans 10:9).

If you would be willing to turn to GOD in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer:

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.

GOD's promise for you is everlasting life:

"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." (John 3:16).

Don't put it off, you may not have another day: "BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b).

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
