How to receive Jesus' salvation
Recognize your need.
Romans 3:10—There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:23—For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23—For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus.
John 6:37—Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
2 Corinthians 6:2—Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Repent.
Luke 5:31-32—They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick. I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
Psalm 38:18—I will be sorry for my sin.
Proverbs 28:13¾He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper:But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
1 John 1:9—If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Luke 15:18-24— [The Prodigal Son:] I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
Believe in Jesus.
John 3:16—For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Acts 16:30—Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9—For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory.
1 John 5:12-13—He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life. These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.
John 20:31—These are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
Romans 10:17 KJV—So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Our faith rests on the promises of God, not on our feelings. Emotions come and go, but God's Word is always the same, sure and steadfast.
Own Him as
Lord and Master.
Romans 10:9-10—Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
