Step1
For all have Sinned
You need to know that you are a sinner.
The Bible says in (Romans 3:23,)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Step2
Wages of Sin is Death
You need to know that there is a Penalty for that sin - Death.
The Bible says in (Romans 6:23a,)
"For the wages of sin is death..."
This word "death" doesn't mean just dying and going to the grave.
It means separation from God forever and ever in a lake of fire.
This is our punishment for our sin and a debt you owe as of right now.
Step3
Jesus Died for us
You need to know that Jesus loves you so much, that He paid that Penalty for you by shedding His blood on the cross for your sins.
The Bible says in (Romans 5:8,)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ Died for us."
Step4
Gift of God is Eternal Life
You need to know that Jesus offers you the free gift of Heaven.
The Bible says in (Romans 6:23b,)
"But the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Going to Heaven is a gift. It's absolutely free! You can't buy it, work for it, go to church for it, nor be good for it. It's absolutely free!
Step5
Jesus died for our sins
In Review:
* You now know you are a sinner.
* You now realize there is a penalty for that sin, and you can't pay for it yourself.
* You now believe Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for your sins.
Step6
Confess with thy Mouth
This is what you need to do next:
The Bible says in (Romans 10:9-13,)
9."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."
10."For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness; and with thy mouth, confession is made unto salvation."
11."For the scripture saith. Whosoever believeth on him, shall not be ashamed."
12."For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord, over all is rich unto all that call upon him."
13."For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved."
Step7
Put your Name in the Blank
"Whosoever" means you. You could put your name here: (Put your name in the blank)
"For (_______)shall call upon the name of the Lord, and (_____)shall be saved."
Step8
Pray this Prayer
Now, if you will trust Jesus to take you to Heaven when you die, just bow your head. If you mean this with all your heart, pray this prayer:
"DEAR JESUS, FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS.
I TRUST YOU TODAY JESUS, AND ONLY YOU,
TO TAKE ME TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME. AMEN"
Step9
Everlasting Life
Congratulations!!!
If you just prayed this prayer and meant it in your heart, you can now know for sure you are going to Heaven.
The Bible says in (John 3:36,)
"He that believeth on the Son (Jesus) hath everlasting life."

on 9/13/2008 Live in fear and die in pain its the christian way. The truth is you our soul never dies and you pass in and out of life along the way. God's real message is "Do what you do" He doesn't judge us, he just collects knowlege.

on 7/17/2008 Sadly a very important element is missing from this article, that helps with sin and the seriousness of one's situation before God. visit www.NeedGod.com to find out what it is, and how to be saved (Right with God).
