We love to share the Good News of the Gospel. In Acts 16:30 the official at Philippi ask the question, "What must I do to be saved?" Salvation will result in peace with God, forgiveness, and freedom from sin. John 8:36 records the words of Jesus concerning freedom, "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." How do we experience salvation? It is as simple as ABC.
Admit You are a Sinner - We must admit we are sinners and our need of salvation. Everyone has had a problem with sin and disobeyed God at some time. Everyone needs a Savior.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ - We believe Jesus died for our sins and desires to save us for our sinful condition. God loves us and is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Confess - We must confess Jesus as our Savior and Lord.
Pray this Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I confess I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe you died and shed your blood for me. I acknowledge my need of a Savior. Come into my heart and cleanse me of my sins. I promise to serve you and put you first in my life as you give me strength.
