How to find God
Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross,
died, and was buried in a tomb. He died to pay for our sins.
Three days later He rose from the dead and appeared to many eyewitnesses.
Through His death and resurrection we can now have eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer to life's most important question. The question is: Are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
No-one can enjoy the blessings of God or go to Heaven without being saved. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:7, “Ye must be born again.” God gives us His plan for salvation in His Word, the Bible. The plan is simple. You can be saved today.
First, you must realize you are a sinner. “There is none righteous, No, not one.” “… there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:10, 22, 23).
Unless you come to realize you are a sinner, you are condemned to die. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23); “sin … bringeth forth death” (James 1:15).
This means separation from God, in Hell, forever. But God loved you so much that He gave His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, as your substitute, who bore your sin, and died in your place. “He hath made him [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to die and shed His blood. “… without shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). We cannot understand how our sin was laid upon Jesus, but God says in His Word that it was. So your sin was laid upon Jesus and He died in your place.
How can I become saved?
A Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “What must I do to be saved?” “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31). Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried and raised from the dead for your justification. Now call upon Him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
So right now, wherever you are, lift your heart to God in prayer. It does not take a long, loud prayer, for God is anxious to save you. Say something like: “Oh God, I am a sinner, I am sorry, I repent, have mercy on me, and save me for Jesus' sake.” Just take Him at His Word. “For whosoever [that includes you] shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved [shall be, not might be or can be, but shall be, saved]” (Romans 10:13).
When you have done what God has asked, claim salvation by faith, according to His Word. Believe and you shall be saved. No church, no good works, no one but Jesus only can save you.
God's simple plan of salvation
The simple plan of salvation is:
- You are a sinner. Because you are a sinner you must die, or else believe on Christ who was your substitute and died in your place, was buried and was raised again.
- Call on God, realizing you are a sinner, and ask Him to have mercy upon you and save you for Jesus' sake. Then take Him at His Word and by faith claim salvation.
Many have been won to Christ by this simple plan. It is scriptural. It is God's plan.
If it is not perfectly clear to you, read it repeatedly until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than the entire world. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:37).
You need salvation above everything else. If you lose your soul you miss Heaven and lose all. But God will save you and keep you! Do not trust your feelings. They change. But God's promises never change.
After you are saved there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth.
- Pray — you talk to God.
- Read your Bible — God talks to you.
- Witness — tell others about Jesus Christ. You talk for God.
Then you should be baptized and unite with a Bible-believing church.
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
