| Having read this
far, do you genuinely want to be saved? Do you want to get right with God - whatever the
cost or consequences? If not, you have not grasped the importance of the pages you have
read. You should therefore read them again, slowly and carefully, asking God to show you
the truth. If God has shown you your need, and you do want to be saved, then 1you must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. You must have faith in Christ. First of all, this means accepting that Jesus is 3the Christ, the Son of the living God and that Christ 4died for the ungodly. Secondly, it means believing that in His power and love Christ is able and willing to save you. Thirdly, it means actually putting your trust in Christ, relying upon Him and Him alone to make you right with God. Your proud, sinful nature will fight against abandoning trust in your own 'goodness' or religion. Yet you have no alternative. You must stop trusting in anything else and trust only in Christ, who is 5able to save completely those who come to God through Him. If God has shown you your need, and given you this desire, then turn to Christ - and do it now! Ideally, pray aloud to Him; this may help you to be clear about what you are doing. Confess that you are a guilty, lost and helpless sinner, an with all your heart ask Christ to save you, and to take His rightful place as the Lord of your life, enabling you to turn from sin and live for Him. The Bible says that 6if
you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved and that 7everyone who calls on the
name of the Lord will be saved. If you truly trust Christ as your Saviour and
acknowledge Him as your Lord, you can claim these promises as your own. |
