The Bible is full of wonderful assurance and promise for all who believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. But each person must accept Jesus as his own Savior before he can claim these promises personally. How can these promises be yours? The Bible tells us that each of us must...
RECOGNIZE that you cannot be saved by trying to be good, or because you are doing the best you can, or because you are a member of a social or religious organization. For God says that we are not saved by our good works, Ephesians 2:8, 98For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8‑9).
BELIEVE the good news that Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8). He therefore died for you and settled your sin debt by His death on Calvary's cross. Believe the blessed news that Christ was raised from the dead and now lives to save all who will come to Him in faith. Hebrews 7:2525Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25).
CALL on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with a sincere desire to be saved from your sins. For God has promised that "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," Romans 10:1313For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13).
RELY upon God's sure promise, not upon your feelings. By faith declare you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, shed for the forgiveness of your sins. Openly confess Him as your Lord and Savior, Romans 10:9, 109That 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. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9‑10).
