Why? Do you have a verse(s).
If the salvific gospel is simple, then clearly state what needs to be done to be saved.
Hey All,
Fastfredy0 , I accept your challenge. If you need to, you may download it and use it as you see fit. I just want to see people receive Jesus.
If you are serious I can take you through the sinner's prayer. But I want you to understand what we are doing, and why we do it.
1. All have sinned.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
2. We have no righteousness within ourselves.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
3. Unforgiven sin leads to death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
4. God provides a way for us, through His Son Jesus Christ, to have our sins forgiven, and have everlasting life. (Salvation)
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.
5. Jesus will provide forgiveness, and salvation, if we receive Him into our lives.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
6. When Jesus enters our lives, He cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
7. Once we are cleansed, we are, in Christ, new creatures.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
How do we get there? If we are truly repentant, here is a simple prayer asking for forgiveness.
Jesus, I know that I am not where I should be with You. I repent of my sins, and ask You come into my life; and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
Congratulations, and welcome to the family.
If we have done this, we have become new creatures. Now you need to read about what has happened. I recommend two books in the Bible from which to start. The gospel of John to begin to understand who Jesus is. I also recommend reading 1 John to understand what being a believer means. There is also another benefit for reading 1 John.
1 John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
And who doesn't want their joy to be full?
Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz
