Salvation is simple but it is not cheaped.
It cost Jesus Christ everything so
that salvation could be offered to us freely. God has provided salvation on a
basis which makes it available to anyone who wants. If salvation could be received
on the basis of education, multitudes would be excluded. If eternal life could
be had on the basis of wealth, a great number would still be left out. If being
saved were dependent upon a person’s moral perfection, everyone would fall
short. God has made His salvation available on the basis of personal faith
which even a child can exercise. This way, everyone is viewed on the same level
in the eyes of God. All must come to Him on the same terms (Romans 3:9-10).
Paul said, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast:”
(Ephesians 2:8-9).
How simple is it to be saved?
1.It is as
simple as entering a door. “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall
be saved..” (John 10:9a).
2.It is as
simple as calling for help. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
3.It is as
simple as coming when called. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28).
4.It is as
simple as receiving gift. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).
5.It is as
simple as drinking water. Jesus said, “But whosoever drinketh of the water that
I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall
be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14).
6.It is as
simple as eating bread. Jesus said, “For the bread of God is he which cometh down
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever.” (John
6:33, 51).
7.It is as
simple as believing God. “Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on
me hath everlasting life.” (John 6:47).
Many people stumble at the simplicity
of salvation. They often feel that they must do something to earn or deserve
such a wonderful offer. Yes, something had to be done so that salvation could
be offered to us freely, but Jesus did it all. All you must do is believe that
Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose again. You then must receive Him into
your heart.
Why not make that all-important
decision which will transform your life and bring you into a right relationship
with God? It is simple, and it works.
It’s simply up to you!
Are you willing to settle the matter
of your eternal destiny? Will you do it? You can, right this moment. “That if
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hat raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans
10:9).
If you will accept Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Saviour, please pray this prayer with all of your heart: Dear
God, I admit I am a sinner, going to hell. I know that I cannot save myself. I
repent of my sins and put my faith in the blood that you shed for me on the
cross to pay for all my sins. I now accept you as my savior and trust you to
take me to heaven. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
