The purpose of the Bible is simply to proclaim God’s plan to save His children. It asserts that man is lost and needs to be saved. And it communicates the message that Jesus is the God in the flesh sent to save His children.
- Max Lucado
Salvation: preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss.
Salvation can be told in four words:
SIN
CALVARY
FAITH
LIFE
Here are four simple and biblical truths about Salvation.
Salvation is NEEDED: ALL have sinned (Romans 3:23 -For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (KJV))
Salvation is PROVIDED: He himself bore our sins… ( 1 Peter 2:24 -Who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree that when having died unto sins might live unto righteousness by whose stripes we are healed. ( ASV))
Salvation is OFFERED: For by grace you are saved ( Ephesians 2:8-For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, IT IS the gift of God, Not by works, so that no-one can boast ( NIV) )
Salvation is ACCEPTED: He who has the Son has LIFE ( 1 John 5:12- Whoever has the Son has life, whoever does not have the Son of God does NOT have life. (NIV) & Romans 10:9,10- If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (NIV)
(excerpt was written by L.Dillon Jr 2021)
“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and is justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9-10

SINNERS PRAYER
Written By L.Dillon JR
God, I know that I am a sinner.
I know that I deserve the consequences of my sins.
However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
I believe that His Death and Resurrection provided for my forgiveness.
I trust in Jesus Christ and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior.
I surrender my will, for Yours. Lord guide me and fill my life with the peace, love, and joy that is only provided through you.
Thank you, Lord, for saving me and forgiving me
AMEN!
