If you have not experienced the Salvation of Jesus Christ and freedom from sin that is true Christianity you may be in serious Danger ! “Believing” is not enough (James 2:19). As certain as the Bible is true, hell is real, and the Issue of your Eternal Destiny must be settled in this life on earth.
What You Must Do: 1) Admit your need (that you are a sinner in need of God's Salvation) - see Romans 3:12, 23, 6:23, Isaiah 53:6. 2) REPENT - Resolve to stop sinful behavior - stop doing those things that displease God and instead, do what God wants you to do. See I John 5:18 and I Peter 2:24. 3) Through prayer, ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and control your life through the Holy Spirit to receive the salvation from sin and its eternal consequences that Jesus Christ bought for you and paid for with His life, and proved by His Resurrection from the dead. See I Peter 3:18, Romans 5:8, Revelation 3:20, John 1:12, 8:36, Romans 6:18,32, 10:9, and 10:13.
You can do this by praying this prayer and really meaning it:
Lord, I recognize that I have sinned. I believe that You bore the punishment I deserve. I give and commit my life to You as my King, and ask You to come into my life and help me to live the way You want me to from now on.
See Ephesians 2: 8,9, I Corinthians 5:17, Colossians 1:9-14 and I John 5:12-13. If this is all new to you, please write to us and ask, and we will send you a free information packet to help you understand more and grow in your Christian life. You will want to find a good Church where they understand and teach these things (See Romans 12:1-2, Hebrews 10:25, 1 Thessalonians 5, Psalm 111), also we have many tapes, books, tracts, etc. particularly suited to help.
