Do you know Jesus?
A - ADMIT you are a sinner and ASK for God's forgiveness. The Bible says, there is no one righteous, not even one...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:10
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13
B - BELIEVE in Jesus and BECOME a child of God. Place your trust in Him for He is your only hope of salvation. The Bible also says, for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 To all who receive him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God. John 1:12
C - CONFESS that Jesus is Lord and COMMIT to follow Him. 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. Romans 10:9 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Matthew 16:24
