be saved.
1. You Must Know That You Are A Sinner In The
Sight Of God.
As recorded in the book of Romans 3:10 , “…
There is no one righteous, not even one.” A
righteous person is a one without sin, and since,
the Bible says no one is righteous, it means you
are also not righteous, thus a sinner. There are
only two ways to live in this world; your own way
or giving it to God’s will to live in His way. You
are either on God’s way or on your own way. If
you have turned to your way, then you have gone
astray and for that reason, you are a sinner in the
sight of God. “We all, like sheep, have gone
astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of is
all” – Isaiah 53:6.
You are not a sinner because you sin, you sin
because you are a sinner. You would not want a
doctor unless you knew you are sick. You will
never want a savior until you know you are a
sinner. You must therefore know that you are a
sinner first of all.
2. You Must Know That Your Sins Have Been
Laid On Jesus.
“We all, like sheep have gone astray , each of us
has turned to his own way; and the LORD has
laid on him the iniquity of us all.” – Isaiah 53:6.
God had to deal with your sin before He could
offer you salvation. He had to cleanse you; he
had to settle your debts so that you could be set
free. Your sin was so greater that it had to take
the life of a sinless man to save you. Jesus was
there(where it mattered most) to be offered as an
atonement for your sin. ” 4 Surely, he took up our
infirmities and carried our sorrows….. 5 But he
was pierced for our transgressions, he was
crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that
brought us peace was upon him…..” – Isaiah
53:4 & 5.
Jesus Christ was made to bear your sins and
carry them to the cross in your stead. Sin made a
great barrier between you and God, and Jesus
came to tear down the barrier.
3. You Must Know That You Cannot Save
Yourself.
You are saved by grace through the death of
Jesus Christ on the cross. ” For it is by grace you
have been saved, through faith – and this is not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by
works, so that no one can boast – Ephesians
2:8-9. No man can be his won savior. You
cannot save yourself by getting yourself enrolled
as a member of a church. You cannot save
yourself by deeds, good works or by your might
or by merit. There is nothing you can do in your
power to save yourself.
If you could have saved yourself, then there was
no point in God sending His one and only son
(Jesus Christ) to come all the way down here,
and suffer such humiliation and that painful and
shameful death on the cross. The fact that Jesus
had to come and die for you shows clearly that
you cannot do anything to save yourself.
4. You Must Know That Jesus Christ Alone Can
Save You.
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no
other name under Heaven given to men by which
we must be saved.” Acts 4:12. Salvation is found
nowhere else apart from Jesus Christ. You
cannot look or rely on anyone to be saved except
that you look to Jesus. “She will give birth to a
son, and you are to give him the name Jesus
because he will save his people from their sin,”
Matthew 1:21.
Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the father
except through me.” The Bible makes it perfectly
clear that Jesus Christ alone can save you.
Jesus Christ is the solid rock you can stand on,
all other ground is sinking sand.
5. You Must Know That You Must Receive Jesus
As Your Own Personal Savior.
“To all who received him, to those who believed
in his name, he gave them the right to become
children of God”, – John 1:12. John 3:36 – 36, ”
The father loves the son and has placed
everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the
son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the son
will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on
them”
You become God’s child by receiving the LORD
Jesus Christ as your personal savior. If you are
dying of thirst, you must drink the water that is
offered to you. Jesus has been offered as the
living water to quench your thirst once and for
all.
After knowing these five things to get you saved,
you must make a decision. It is in your best
interest to get saved. This sis the truth you must
know, not just sweet words to convince you. You
must make a decision mow, not tomorrow or any
other day. “Now is the time of God’s favor, now
is the day of salvation,” – 2 Corinthians 6:2.
I advise you to accept Jesus now and enjoy the
riches and success in the Kingdom of God and
above all be saved for all eternity.
