So how can a person have God's
forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and
Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness.
You do this through a simple prayer
reflecting your desire for Christ to change your life. You don't need
fancy words--only an honest heart. You can pray something like this:
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner
and that I need your forgiveness. I believe that you died on the cross
for on my sins and on the third day rose from the dead. Thank You for
dying on the cross for my sins. I turn away from all those things that I
know to be wrong. I now invite You to come into my heart and life
as my personal Savior and Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.
Accepting Christ is just the beginning of
a wonderful adventure with God! Get to know Him better in a number of
ways:
- Join a church where you can worship
God and grow in your faith.
- In your church, get involved in
Sunday School and Bible study.
- Begin a daily personal worship
experience with God where you study the Bible and pray.
- Follow Christ's example in baptism.
We’d love to hear from you -- Please
feel free to ask us any questions you have about becoming a Christian,
or tell us about your decision to follow Jesus Christ.

Can you lose your
Salvation?
The Bible is
very explicit on this point. In fact,
the book of 1John was written to this
point: "These things I have written to
you who believe in the Son of God, in
order that you may know that you have
eternal life.(1John 5:13)."
Now,
let's follow this idea to its logical
conclusion. If we know we have eternal
life when we believe in Jesus, how long
does eternal life last? Can you have
eternal life for a year? A week? A day?
If words mean anything at all, then
eternal life must be eternal. It must
last forever! Eternal life by definition
cannot be lost.

What sin is
so big that Jesus' death could not atone
for it? Every sin that man can
commit against God and man, even the
most heinous was dealt with at the cross
of Calvary. If this is so, then what sin
can be so bad that it would cause God to
"take back" that which He has already
paid for? Romans 8:38-39 explicitly
states this, saying "For I am convinced
that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other
created thing, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
Also, in
John 10:28-30, Jesus tells us " I give
them eternal life they shall never
perish; no one can snatch them out of My
hand. My Father, who has given them to
Me, is greater than all; and no one is
able to snatch them out of the Father's
hand." I and The Father are One.
Remember, there is nothing we can
do to merit salvation, it's all a work
of God. Also remember, God predestined
us to our salvation (Eph. 1:4). Would
God make a mistake? No, the biblical
evidence clearly supports the view that
your salvation is secure. That thought
should be comforting in times of doubt.
