Are You Saved?

Know For Sure...

You may be asking yourself if you could be able to know God as your personal Savior, and receive His peace in your heart. Jesus said that in order to know God, which is Spirit, you must be born again in your human spirit. In order for this to happen, it is necessary to:

  1. BELIEVE first of all, in the existence of God, and then believe also that Jesus is the Son of God. That, with his death on the cross, he has taken on himself all your sins, so that you can receive the forgiveness from God. "For God has so loved the world, that He has given his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him, will not perish, but will have eternal life" (Gospel of John 3:16).
  2. ADMIT before God that you have lived a selfish life and that, in having not been interested him, and having not honored him with your life, you have sinned against him and thus you are separated from him. " All have sinned and come short of the glory of God "(Letter to the Romans 3:23).
  3. REPENT by returning to God and asking for his forgiveness for the past sins, and asking for his help to live according to his will. "But if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3).
  4. CONFESS to God now, that you recognize Jesus as your Savior and Lord. " For if with your mouth you will confess Jesus as your Savior, and believe in your heart that God has resurrected him from the dead, you will be saved" (Roman 10:9).
  5. Be Baptized by immersion. Jesus said: Go and make disciples of every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). See also Mark 16:15,16.

If after a careful reflection and meditation of these Scriptures, you are willing to make this important step, then you can pray this prayer out loud, speaking to God himself:

Dear God,
I am convinced of being a sinner, and I know I deserve to perish. I believe in my heart, that Jesus is Your Son, that He died on the cross for all sinners, including me, and that He shed his blood in order to wash all my sins away. I now confess Jesus as my Savior and Lord, and I thank You for Your forgiveness and for the gift of eternal life.
Thank you Jesus, Amen.

Do not base your salvation on your feelings. Our feelings change. Your new relation with God is based on His promises (Roman 10:13). Do not be ashamed to tell others about your new life with Jesus (Gospel of Matthew 10:32). Spend daily time in prayer, and in the reading of your Bible (1 Peter 2:2; Roman 8:14). When you have made this, which is your most important decisions of your life, we invite you kindly let us know, so that we can rejoice with you, and help you in your next Biblical steps, for your "spiritual growth".

How Important is it?

Well, the Bible also tells us in Romans 6:23 that everyone who has sinned will die. I am quite aware that everyone eventually dies. But, this verse is talking about another kind of death, a spiritual death. Anyone who does not ask God to forgive him will be sent to a place called hell when he dies. Although his body will not be there, his “soul” will live in a place of fire and torment for ever and ever. God has already pronounced us “guilty” and given us a spiritual death sentence.

But then He did the most outrageous, unbelievable thing! Because He loves you so much, He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place! He took your punishment! (Maybe you have heard someone quote this verse found in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”) And all He asks in return is that you believe Jesus did that for you and that you accept His pardon. You do that by asking Him to forgive you and to transform your life. That is why we call it being saved, or salvation—because we are literally saved from spiritual death when we ask God to forgive us and change us. The term “born again” illustrates that when you are saved you are a new person (like a newborn baby), with a new lifestyle, interests, and attitudes. You are literally given the chance to start over.
