Are You Born Again? Steps to Salvation

1. Every person must be born again to know God and have everlasting life. *John 3:3 (John 3:16)
2. The reason we must be born again is found in *Rom. 3:23.
3. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom. 6:23)
----a. You cannot earn salvation. You cannot do it on your own.
----b. It is God's gift to you. (Eph. 2:8,9)
4. Being saved or born again is receiving Jesus as your Lord (Master), committing yourself to follow His Word (the Bible), and believing that God raised Jesus from the dead. *Rom. 10:9,10 (1 John 2:3)
5. Are you ready to make this life-changing commitment?
6. Pray according to Rom. 10:9,10

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I ask You to come into my life. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and I believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead. I turn my back on sin and I commit to follow You for the rest of my life. I thank You, Father, for saving me!"

7. You are now born again, forgiven and on your way to heaven. You are a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). Yet this is only the beginning. You need to renew your mind to live a powerful life as a believer. *Rom. 12:1,2
---a. You need to read the Bible regularly in order to grow. (Rom. 10:17)
---b. Getting together with believers on a regular basis is also important. (Heb. 10:25)
8. If doubts or fears come to mind about salvation, reject them and realize that the Bible is what your salvation is based on, not what you think or feel. (Rom. 10:9,10)
9. You will need to be baptized in water as a believer. (Acts 10:48)
10. God has also given us the gift of the Holy Spirit. You need this gift to live the Christian life God wants you to live. John 14:26.
