Has anyone ever shown you from the Bible how you can be forgiven of your sins and begin a relationship with God?
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” We must all realize that we are sinners and that we need forgiveness. We are not worthy of God’s grace.
Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we are still sinners, Christ died for us.” Through Jesus, God gave us a way to be saved from our sins. God showed us His love by giving us His Son, Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If we remain sinners, we will die. However, if we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and repent of our sins, we will have eternal life.
Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Just confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved.
Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” There are no religious formulas or rituals – Call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved.
WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE?
The Bible teaches that we are all sinners. Our sins separate us from God, and that’s why God sent Jesus to die on the cross and be raised from the dead—so our sins can be forgiven and we can be saved.
A man once asked how he could be saved. The response was: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). To believe in Jesus means to trust in His death on the cross to forgive you of your sins. Once you believe in Jesus, you are to follow Him in your life.
This is why you should find a church where you can hear the Word of God every week, and make friends with other Christians who can encourage you. At Bayou View Baptist Church, you will find people who will care about you and help you to follow Jesus and live for Him. We invite you to join us for worship as we Grow in God’s Word!
