Summary: Salvation is not difficult, but simple. Salvation is not inaccessible, but readily available. It is as near as your mouth & your heart. If you would believe in Jesus with your heart, & confess Him with your mouth, you will be saved.
Will you simply bow your knees before God and commit yourself to His will; saying, "I take You at You word. Please be my Savior and Lord! It is a simple act of your will. Will you ask God to save you?
You need a heart of faith because the place of faith is the heart. How can you have a believing heart? By opening your heart to God's gracious offer of salvation in Christ. To those who place their faith for their salvation in Christ He grants Christ's rightness. Will you believe in your heart? If so, you need to confess with your mouth. Make your confession public here and now. There is no better place. There is no better time.
Dear friend to reject Christ is to reject His righteousness, the perfect standing before a Holy God that only He can provide. Those who believe in Christ receive a righteousness which we never could achieved by our own efforts as a grace gift from God. Everyone who believes in Him, takes hold of the new and eternal covenant that Christ sealed and guaranteed with His own blood (see Heb. 12:24; 13:20). Will you?
Will you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord? If so would you do it right now? Do not delay or put it off. If you would like to receive Christ by faith, pray this simple prayer in your heart:
Dear Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins on the cross, and rose again the third day. I turn from my sins. By faith I receive the Lord Jesus as my Savior. You promised to save me, and I believe You, because You are God and cannot lie. I believe right now that the Lord Jesus is my personal Savior, and that all my sins are forgiven through His precious blood. I thank You, dear Lord, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Come publically and begin your acknowledging of Jesus as your Lord and Savior before men. You will find that Jesus Christ does not disappoint. You come as the Spirit leads. You will not be disappointed.
