The Ark of Salvation- Get on!
A Path to New Life
**How to Become Saved**
If you’re feeling lost, empty, or in need of hope, just as I did, know that there is a way out of the darkness. Jesus offers salvation, forgiveness, and a new beginning to everyone who believes in Him.
Here’s how you can receive this gift:
1. Acknowledge Your Need for Jesus: Understand that we all fall short of God's perfect standard (Romans 3:23). Recognize that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness and redemption.
2. Believe in Jesus Christ: Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came to earth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for your sins, and rose from the dead (John 3:16). His sacrifice is the only way to be reconciled to God.
3. Confess and Repent: Confess your sins to God and repent, turning away from your old life and committing to follow Jesus (Acts 3:19).
4. Invite Jesus into Your Heart: Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life. Surrender your life to Him and trust in His guidance (Romans 10:9-10).
**Sinner’s Prayer**
If you’re ready to take this step of faith, you can pray this simple prayer from your heart:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite Jesus into my heart and life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord. Please guide my life and help me to do Your will. Thank You for Your grace, mercy, and the gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen."
This prayer is just the beginning. Following Jesus is a life journey of faith, learning, and growth. If you’ve prayed this prayer, I encourage you to read God’s Word/ the Bible daily, and connect with other believers if possible who can support and guide you on this incredible journey.
