I am going to tell you the absolute truth about what it takes to know the Lord Jesus Christ. The following can help you to Know Him if you are honest and sincere in your decision to be “saved.” Being saved or born-again is asking the Lord to forgive you of your sins and making the decision to do what Jesus would have you do with His help. So why is it call being “saved” because He is saving you from hell, and eternal separation from God.
- It’s all about who you know.
John 17:3 (NKJV) 3And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. It’s clear in the Bible that Jesus said He was the way to the Father. Your faith must begin in who Jesus Christ said He was and His shed blood on the cross.
John 14:6 (NKJV) 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” It cannot get any clearer than that! - It’s all about who you are. I think I have made it very clear about the sin problem up until now. Have I not?
Romans 3:23 (NKJV) 23”for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” You absolutely must stop telling yourself that you will get into heaven on your own merit! It will never happen! Or Jesus died in vain on the cruel cross and shed His blood for nothing. You saying or hoping that you are good enough makes God a liar, and that my friend is wrong on your part! - The verses in the Bible you need to know.
Ephesians 2:8, 9 (NKJV) 8”For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast.” So what is grace? Grace is when God gives us what we don’t deserve! God loved us enough that He wants to give us life eternal with Him if we will accept His free gift. Do you see that it’s a gift from God? Do you see that you cannot work for it? Now this is your part, through faith in God. Not any kind of faith, a saving faith. This gift from God can only be received by you accepting it, by faith in what Jesus did for you. - What did Jesus do for you and why only Him?
Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8”But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. God loved you that He sent His Son to die in your place, even though you were still in your sin. You were thought of way back then and even now you may still reject Him. But guess what? He still died for you!
Romans 5:9 (NKJV) 9”Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” It says we are made right with God by His shed blood that was poured out on our behalf. And then we are saved from Hell and eternal separation from Gods wrath. When you accept Jesus as your savior , your sinfulness is nailed to the cross then you receive the righteousness of Christ Jesus. That means from now on God sees you redeemed by the blood of His son Jesus. Is that not good news?
Acts 4:12 (NKJV) 12”Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” This verse says that there is No hope, No eternal life, forgiveness of sins in any one else but Jesus Christ period!
- This is where you decide if you are going to trust Jesus alone for your salvation and turn from your sinful ways and walk in His word in obedience. This is something that is most important more than anything else. Who do you place your faith in? Will it be Jesus or some other means knowing now without excuse there is no salvation in any other! And is it a “saving faith”?
- Decision time …….
Acts 3:19 (NKJV) 19”Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out” The message here is REPENT turn from your sin. You know what God is not pleased with. You must be willing to live as God wants you to live. If you are not willing to do that then you cannot truly be saved!
By faith acknowledge your need—admitting you have sinned and desiring to turn from that sin. Name your sins to God. That’s right asking the Lord to come into your life and save you from the wrath to come.
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Believing Jesus Christ died in your place and rose again to be your Savior—providing forgiveness for your sins. You will be serving a risen Lord! That’s right I said serving God in what He has for your life.
1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (NKJV) 3For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
You need to choose to invite Jesus to direct your life. That’s right asking the Lord Jesus Christ to direct your life now. He now is your life and the Holy Spirit of God by faith will create in you a new person, a new will, mind and direction for your life.
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) 20”I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Why because of what he has done for you. Do you believe the Bible?
This is “SAVING FAITH” do you want it? If you do follow what is said here!
Pray for forgiveness, Ask Jesus to help you live a righteous holy life, even when the going gets rough. Even when your friends think you have lost your mind and make fun of your decision.
