SHORT AND QUICK INVITATION TO PUT YOUR FAITH IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Biblical Advice for the Suffering Heart
PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN JESUS
Dear friend, if you are wanting to put your faith in Jesus Christ, allow me to explain some things to you, and I did this in a previous episode, but I want to explain some things to you. If you are under Holy Spirit conviction and you feel the call of God upon your heart and would like to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, then you need to know that you are saved by your faith and your faith alone, and that you have put your trust and eternal destiny in his hands. And your salvation is forever. You can never lose it. There is no prayer of salvation anywhere in the Bible, but if you have come to Him in genuine faith, He will save you today. There are not steps, just as some things that you need to know. If you would like to pray to prayer I have written down to help you, then that's perfectly fine, but once again, it's the moment that you put your faith in Jesus Christ that you are saved. Now the first thing we must do when we come to knowing Jesus is we must first acknowledge and admit and confess that you are a sinner. Biblical evidence is found in the book of Psalms, Romans, as well as other books. The Bible says surely I have been a sinner from birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me, Psalm 515. Paul says in Romans all have sinned and come shorter to glory of God, Romans 3, 23. Now number one, we first have to acknowledge and admit and confess that you are a sinner. And number two, you must understand and realize that you cannot save yourself by your own works or efforts. Biblical evidence is found in Titus and Ephesians, as well as other places. Titus says not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, Titus 3, 5. By grace you are saved through faith and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast, Ephesians 2, 8, 9. And number three, you must believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all the sins you have ever committed or ever will commit. He died in your place on the cross. He was punished so you don't have to be. Number four, now come to him in faith, pray to him and ask him to be your Lord and Savior. You can pray something like this, oh God, I am a sinner, I am lost and need to be saved. I know I can't save myself, right now I trust you to save me. Come into my heart, forgive my sin, and dwell me with your Holy Spirit. You are my God, my Lord and Savior, I give you my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen. [BLANK_AUDIO]
