HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
Over the 60 years of preaching in over 125 Nations of the world I have been asked this question. Thank God I have had the answer from the Word of God, the Bible. So whether it has been people crying out in our mass crusades or young people on the sidewalk in outback towns of Australia, I have been able to give the same answer as the Apostle gave the jailer and prisoners, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." So for our Sermon we share this simple soul winning message we have on our website. May it bless you and encourage you and perhaps you can help someone else come to Christ.
I. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR LOST CONDITION.
- Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
- Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
II. BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.
- Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? - Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. - John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
III. REPENT OF YOUR SINS.
- Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
- Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
IV. RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR.
- John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
- John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- 1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. - 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
V. CONFESS HIM AS YOUR LORD.
- Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
- Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? - Mark 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? - Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
