The Salvation Prayer

The Truth Calls
The truth will set you free.!!!

Life After Death - *Eternal Life*:

Are you ready to turn your life over to Jesus Christ? It is the greatest thing that you will ever do! The following is a simple step-by-step plan of how to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior.
God Loves You!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
God has a wonderful plan for your life!
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10
Because of our sin, we are separated from God."For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
1. The Penalty for our sin is death."For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
2. The penalty for our sin was paid by Jesus Christ!"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
3. If we repent of our sin, then confess and trust Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will be saved from our sins!"For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
"...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9,10
Say the following prayer loudly as a declaration of faith. Words should come out of your mouth.
“Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I believe you rose again on the third day from death and now you are alive and a living God. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the person you want me to be.
If you have said this prayer, diligently and are serious about it you can have assurance right now that while you were saying this prayer, The angels in heaven have already written your name in the book of Life, i.e. Eternal Life. Declare publicly that you have accepted Lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour.
Keep in mind that the Bible says to the family of God, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). The salvation Christ offers is not a reward for effort, but a gift to all who put their trust in Him.
Welcome to the family of GOD. Jesus has entered into your life and now resides in your heart. He will guide and speak to you through your heart , not mind.
Now read further to know what happens next.
Expect the beginning of a spiritual warfare with Satan and his powerful system of the world. You will observe that some one with a real personality, specific attributes has now started waging war on you. This is an ample proof that as long as people don’t know Christ, they are living in sin, darkness which is of Satan which leads to eternal death in hell after your physical death. Sin according to the Bible came from Adam’s disobedience and is resident in all humans from their physical birth till the time of spiritual rebirth. So as long as there is no resistance from you for Satan He is fine with you and continues to keep you in dark. He knows that this soul is mine. But the moment, a person realizes the truth, repents, and accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, the resistance begins, you will see and feel it all around you in all aspects of life. You will feel that a spiritual force is trying desperately to get you back on the same fold where you were before. You will have knowledge now that there is a God and there is a devil and the fight between them concerning the final destination of our souls.
This is the time of great trouble but God has given a solution for this. Open your Bible and read {“ No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear." 1Corinthians 10:13} All you have to do is to trust and depend on GOD, continue to have faith in Him, resist the devil and spend much time in prayer. "Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7} Just within a matter of few days, Satan will leave you, he will give up and you will have the assurance, which you will never lose the assurance of the truth, the life and the right way. The assurance of eternal security, eternal life after your physical death.
Before you read the following please NOTE: religion says do this and do that and do this and do that, but with JESUS, it is already done.
What he did for us is enough for us. It's by Jesus, and through our faith (belief) in what Jesus has already done that we are made right with GOD. We don't "earn" it by how we act and what we do.
It has all been done, Jesus did it all, everything, every bit that is required for us to be in right standing with GOD.
Yet there are things we can do to be better people, and be closer to God and Jesus, and to make them happy, that's true. We do need to change and grow in our lives.
The following are some of those things.
Now that you are a "new creation" in Jesus Christ, the road ahead will be full of life changing experiences. The first thing is not to get emotional about changing your life's situations forcefully. Continue the same work you were doing. Wait for Christ to guide you and direct you in the paths of life. He will talk to you through your heart as He lives there now. However, from now onwards start living a righteous life.
Growing in knowledge and understanding of the Bible and your walk with God is essential for your spiritual growth. Here are some ways that you can become a disciple of Christ
1. Be baptized.Baptism identifies you with Christ. Acts 8:35-40,
2. Study the Bible.The Bible will guide you through life and answer life's questions."Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105"Be diligent to present yourself to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:153.
3. Share your faith with others."Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord." 2 Timothy 1:8"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." Matthew 10:32"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witness to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8
4. Find a place where Christ is honoured. Fellowship with other people who follow Christ. Assemble together with other believers. Join a group of believers where Christ is preached and where his teachings are applied in practical life. Join the God Club at the internet and look on the right side of the homepage, you will find links. Take printouts study them. Please do all the free courses at World Bible School www.wbschool .org
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24,25
