How to Recieve Christ as your Savior
Is there any reason why you should not cross over
to God’s side by faith and be certain of eternal life?
1.
Admit your need (“I am an unworthy sinner”)
2.
Be willing to turn from your sins and false belief in
trying to earn eternal life.
3.
Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross FOR
YOU, and rose again to be your living Savior.
4.
Tell Jesus in prayer that you want to invite Him into
your life to live with you forever as your Lord and
Savior.

5. Assurance of salvation is as secure as His Word.
These things I have written to you who believe in the
name of the Son of God, that you may know that
you have eternal life, and that you may continue to
believe in the name of the Son of God. (1Jo 5:13)
