What do I have to be saved? (John 3:3)

To be saved you must turn away from sin, believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and receive Him as Lord and Savior of your life.

Here is the step- by – step process:

First, you must consider your life and then turn away from everything in it contrary to what  God wants. This turning away from selfishness and toward God is  called repentance (Matt. 3:7-10; Acts 3:19).

Second, you must acknowledge that Jesus Christ died on the Cross to forgive you of sin. You take Him as your Savior to cleanse you from sin – as the substitute who paid the price due for your sin (Rom. 5:9; 10; Titus 2:14).

Third, you must ask Him to be Lord of your life, acknowledging openly and verbally that Jesus is not only your Savior  but your Lord (1 John 2:23).

The Bible says, that as many received Him were given the power to become the sons of God (John 1:12). So when you open your heart and receive Him, He comes into your heart – your inner person – through His Holy Spirit, and begins to live His life in you. From the point it is your privilege and call to confess what God has done (Rom. 10:9).
Amen.
