John 3:16
God loves you very much. He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins. He did not do this to lay a guilt trip on you, but to pay the price for your salvation. He wants you to be saved that much.
II Peter 3:9
God does not want you to go to hell. He wants everyone to come to Him through Jesus.
Romans 10:9-10
To be saved, it is very easy. All you have to do is believe in your heart that Jesus Christ the Son of God died for your sins, and that God raised Him from the dead. Once you believe this in your heart, you say it with your mouth - and God does all the rest.
Ephesians 2:8-9
He saves us by His power (grace) and it is not something that we can earn or deserve with our good deeds. It is a gift that He freely gives to anyone that wants to receive it.
II Corinthians 5:17
Anyone that has believed that Jesus Christ took their sins away on the cross becomes a new person on the inside (this is reffered to as the "New Birth.") Your old life ceases to exist, and you become a brand new person on the inside, with a new life to live with God! You may look the same on the outside, but on the inside you are changed.
Make sure to share your decision to follow Jesus Christ with someone else who believes. You will want to go to a church where the people love God and preach the things that the Bible says.
This is the best thing anyone could ever decide to do with their life!

Jesus says all you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe with your heart that He is Lord of your life and you are saved eternally! That's it! Isn't that the perfect GIFT! When we receive a gift, we don't pay for it, or sometimes we don't even deserve it, but that's what Jesus does for us...He gives us this awesome gift of eternal life just by believing in Him. However, James 2:17 says, "Faith in the same way, if it is not accompanied by action is dead." Therefore, your actions should reflect what you believe. If you truly grasp the Gospel and understand what Jesus did for us, you won't want to do anything to hurt, disappoint, or disobey Him, because this gift is so valuable. And because of this love He has for us, we want to do nothing but please and worship Him to give Him all the glory in the end!

yes... "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved" - and it's so easy to quote scripture without it making any sense, so I am going to tell you that what you need to believe is that the ransom price was paid for you. And all you have to do is to believe that Jesus can save you and to claim that as your own. There's a simple prayer that any man can say and I am not going to make up the prayer for you, cuz I think you can do that from your own heart, and make it personal. Just ask Jesus to save you and come in your heart. That's like signing your life away to Jesus. And if you believe he can do the job, you're there! Please email me when you get saved, I would like to pray for you!

There is only one thing necessary for eternal salvation - the Lord Jesus Christ.
Believe that Jesus, Son of God, fully human, fully God, died on the cross, was buried and resurrected in victory over death. That He took the weight of the sins of the world upon His shoulder unto death. That through His sacrifice, payment for our own transgressions was made. That salvation is by grace through faith without works. Acceptance of His free gift of salvation. That's it. Repentance of sin follows - turn away from sin - not for gain, but because you are now a new creation, born into the family of God.

Acts 2:38
38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The only thing you have to do is ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and ask him to for give you of your sins. That is all. Once you are truly saved, you will want to be baptist-ed and live a better life.

From the mouth of Jesus to His Father in heaven, Jesus said,
John 17:3
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
