How To Be Saved

By Prosper Noah

Do you want to be saved and do not know how? this is how to be saved!

It doesn't matter exactly what you pray, because you're saved by BELIEVING, not by praying. Salvation is of the heart. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:10) But if you'd like to pray as an expression of your faith, you could pray something like this.
"

...Dear Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner deserving ofHell.I am guilty for breaking your holy commandments. I believe that you died on the cross to pay for my sins, were buried, and bodily resurrected three days later.Please forgive me of my sins and take me toHeavenwhen I die. I nowbelieve upon You alone, apart from all self-righteous works and religion, asmy personal Saviour. Thank you.Amen.It is the gift of God.You see, we have no righteousness of our own to offer God. No amount of good can undo the bad we've done. Jesus paid a debt that He did not owe, because we owed a debt that we could not pay. Salvation is receiving, not giving. We aresinnersand Jesus is theSavior. Jesus is precious! We are saved bytrusting, not by trying. Unbelief is the only sin which can keep a sinner out of Heaven.Just take God atHis word and claimHis salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!Trusting Jesus is meaningless without the cross. You must believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 teaches that the Gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.God's simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on JesusWho died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.You say,“Surely, it cannot be that simple!”Yes, that simple. It is scriptural,it is God's plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.If you've never been saved, then now is the time to believe upon the name of Jesus, the Christ, that your sins will be blotted out forever and you can know that your name is written in Heaven. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save those who are trusting to be saved.Christ died for your sins. You are a sinner by nature and by choice. Jesus took your sins and charged them to His own record. He went to the cross and paid the penalty for your sins. He says if you're willing to receive Him in faith; He will transfer His payment to your debt, and His righteousness to your sins. He will impute to you His goodness, and impute to His own record your sin; if you in faith will trust Him as your Savior.Romans 8:34,“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
