SALVATION: THE KEY TO ETERNAL LIFE
Do You Want the Free Gift of Eternal Life?
The Bible says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
This gift of eternal life is available to you today. Every one of us has sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). But God showed His love for us in this: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8).
Through Jesus Christ, your sins can be forgiven and you can be reconciled to God.
How to Receive Eternal Life
Receiving this gift requires a decision. You must turn away from sin and invite Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Saviour. This step is simple, yet it will change your life forever.
Salvation Prayer
If you are ready, pray this prayer from your heart:
*Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe He was born of a virgin, died on the Cross for my sins, and rose again to reconcile me to You. Thank You for the gift of eternal life.
I turn from sin and confess Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Come, Holy Spirit, fill me with Your love and power. I believe I am saved, I am being saved, and I will be saved. Heaven is my home. Praise God!”**
The Bible promises: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12).
