Before you can live daily for Christ, there’s one thing you need to settle: your salvation. Are you saved? Are you sure?
The Bible urges us in 2 Peter 1:10, “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.”
If you’re unsure, let’s get this right together. In a world spinning with chaos, salvation through Jesus Christ is the only rock-solid hope you can stand on.
Jesus Is the Only Way
Jesus didn’t mince words in John 14:6 He said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Jesus is the only way to God—no exceptions. Getting right with God isn’t just a good idea; it’s critical for your life both now and eternally.
We’re living in unpredictable times. Can anyone predict where the world will be in one year, two years, or ten? Probably not.
The news, social media, and even casual conversations are full of fear-mongering. Everywhere you look, someone’s trying to scare you into panic mode. They’re selling:
- Fear of missing out (FOMO) on the next big thing.
- Fear of losing your job to AI or layoffs.
- Fear of the next disaster—pandemics, economic crashes, you name it.
But God has a different message. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we’re told, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
No matter where you’re at or what’s gone wrong, Jesus Christ offers hope. When you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, the world’s chaos loses its grip on you.
The ABCs of Salvation
So, how do you get saved? It’s straightforward—here are the ABCs:
- Admit you’re a sinner. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We’ve all fallen short, and we are all guilty before God. The first step is acknowledging this and understanding that you need a Savior to keep you from receiving the eternal punishment we all deserve.
- Believe in Jesus. He died for your sins and rose again. He is the only one who is able to pay your sin debt in full. Romans 10:9 promises, “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.” Trust in this promise and trust Him fully.
- Confess Him as Lord. Call on Him in faith, asking Him to save you, and receive Him as your Lord and Savior.
That’s it—the gospel in a nutshell. No matter your past, Jesus can give you a fresh start. And when you receive Christ as your Savior, you are adopted into the family of God (Romans 8:15). Adoption is a legal transaction that, once completed, cannot be undone.
When you become part of God’s family, He will never disown you, no matter what you’ve done or what you do in the future. Your eternity is locked in, and Heaven is your inheritance. That’s it – end of story.
Hope That Holds Through Trials
Accepting Christ doesn’t mean life gets easy. In fact, it might get harder. Jesus warned in John 16:33, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Following Him could mean your family turning their backs on you. It could bring risks to your job or reputation. In some places, it might even mean danger to your life. But here’s the good news: God sustains you through it all.
Trials don’t get the final word—He does. Plus, Jesus came to give you abundant life, as He said in John 10:10, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Why Risk Eternity?
Maybe you’re skeptical—can Jesus really save you? We encourage you to dig into the Gospel with an open mind. Think about His love and sacrifice for your sins.
Here’s something to think about: if Christians are wrong about Jesus, what’s the loss? A life lived with purpose, peace, and fewer regrets. But if we’re right—and we believe the Bible proves that we are—your eternal future is on the line.
Jeremiah 29:13 offers this promise: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Seek God in prayer, and He’ll show Himself to you.
God loves you, and He wants you to be saved, so much so that He literally moved heaven and earth and sent His own Son to die in our place to make it happen.
Don’t gamble with eternity. Receive Christ today.
The Best Decision You’ll Ever Make
The world’s a mess, but your salvation doesn’t have to be. Getting right with God is the most important step you’ll take. When you do, you gain:
- Freedom from fear, replaced by God’s peace.
- Strength to face any trial with Christ by your side.
- A secure eternity as part of God’s family.
Our prayer is that you’ll come to know Jesus as your Savior. It’s not just a choice—it’s the best decision you’ll ever make.
Ready? Pray this prayer: Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I believe You died for me and rose again. I ask You to come into my heart today and be my Savior and Lord, and I promise I will live for you for the rest of my days. Amen.
