According to the Bible, if we confess with our mouths and believe with our hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord, we will be saved. It is God’s promise and covenant with His people. Did you know that Jesus Christ died on the Cross at Calvary for your and my eternal salvation? Have you opened your mouth and confessed Jesus to be Lord? Do you truly think that Jesus is Lord?
“…If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame”
(Romans 10:9 – 11, NIV).
The methods below will assist you in obtaining and maintaining your salvation experience. It
entails a process that will not only ensure your admission to paradise, but will also position you to enjoy the advantages of heaven on Earth.
What exactly is salvation?
Salvation is the forgiveness of sin’s guilt and penalty. The word salvation is derived from the Greek word soteria, which implies “deliverance, preservation, and safety.” According to (Romans 9:20-23 Galatians 5:1), it largely entails release from the bonds of sin. According to (Luke 1:71), salvation also includes escape from adversaries as well as deliverance from sickness and disease (Isaiah 53:4 The Amplified Bible; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
Question: From where does salvation come?
Answer: It is important to recognize that salvation is a gift given to those who repent, believe, and declare that Jesus is Lord and that He died and rose again to save mankind (Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10). This gift cannot be won by doing good or merely being a “good person.” It is an issue of faith, which is acting on what you believe about salvation according to God’s Word. God gives us salvation as a gift. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God,” says Ephesians 2:8-9. Not of works, lest anyone boast.”
Who is eligible for salvation?
Answer: Salvation is made available to all people through Jesus.
What am I getting out of salvation?
The advantages of redemption are continual. Deliverance, victory, prosperity, wholeness, healing, soundness, assistance, safety, welfare, defense, rescue, preservation, freedom, liberty, and pardon are some of them. God has equipped us with all we require for life and godliness. He has also provided us with an eternal home in paradise with Him after we leave this earth.
How can a person become saved?
Answer: According to Romans 10:9-10, “thou shalt be saved if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead.” For man believes in righteousness with his heart, and confesses salvation with his mouth.” You confess with your tongue and believe with your heart.
Is there any other way for me to be saved?
No, it does not. The only path is via Jesus. In John 14:6, Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”
Do I still need salvation if I’m not a bad person?
Yes, it is. Adam’s transgression separated man from God in the beginning, and every person born after Adam is born with a sin nature. Salvation through Jesus is the only method for man to be cleansed of his sin nature.
Can I be saved even though I’ve done some extremely horrible things?
Yes, it is. It makes no difference who you are or what you have done. “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him [Jesus] might be saved (John 3:17).”
I was baptized when I was a child; does this mean I am saved?
No, it does not. Only by confessing Jesus as Lord can a person be saved (Romans 10:9-10). Baptism does not rescue anyone. Baptism is the visible manifestation of Jesus’ redemptive work on the inside (in your soul).
What should I do when I’ve been saved?
First, select a reputable Bible-believing and teaching church that you can visit on a regular basis. Second, renew your mind in God’s Word; this is critical to your spiritual progress. “…be not conformed to the ways of this world,” says Romans 12:2, “but be ye transformed [changed] by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Third, make a solid determination to be and have what God has said about you in His written Word (the Holy Bible).
PRAY THE FOLLOWING PRAYER OUT LOUD:
I come to You in the name of Jesus, Heavenly Father. “Whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved,” your Word states (Acts 2:21). I’m pleading with You. I pray, asking Jesus to enter my heart and become Lord of my life. “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,” says Romans 10:9-10, “thou shalt be saved.” That’s what I’m doing now. I declare that Jesus is Lord, and I have faith in God who raised Him from the grave.I’ve been reborn! I am a Christian, a child of the Most High God! I’ve been saved! You also declared in Your Word, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” I’m also requesting that You fill me with the Holy Spirit. Rise up within me, Holy Spirit, while I praise God. As You grant me the utterance, I fully anticipate to talk in different tongues (Acts 2:4).
