How to Know Jesus
The Bible says there is only one way
to Heaven
Jesus said: "I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6)
Good works cannot save you.
"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)
Trust Jesus Christ
today! Here's what you must do:
- Admit you are a sinner.
"For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
"Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12)
"If we
say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us." (1 John 1:10)
- Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
Jesus said: "I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
(Luke 13:5)
"And
the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:" (Acts 17:30)
- Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was
buried, and rose from the dead.
"For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved." (Romans 10:9)
- Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life
to become your personal Saviour.
"For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)
"For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

What to pray:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus
Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing
to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as
my personal Saviour.

"But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name:" (John 1:12)
"Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you have received Jesus Christ as
your Saviour, as a Christian you should:
- Read your Bible every day to get to know
Christ better.
"Study
to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth."
(2 Timothy 2:15)
"Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalms 119:105)
- Talk to God in prayer every day.
"And
all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive." (Matthew 21:22)
"Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6)
- Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve
with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the
Bible is the final authority.
"Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew 28:19)
"Not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day
approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)
"All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16)
- Tell others about Christ.
"And
he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
"For
though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is
laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16)
"For I
am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek." (Romans 1:16)
