How to be saved

By Moderator -
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:8‭-‬13)
 

Salvation comes down to 2 steps, but one.
1. Recognize your sin & need for the Savior. That Savior is the "biblical" historical true Jesus Christ.

More on repentance 

2. In prayer to God:
A. Repent & Renounce your wicked ways (once and for all) Turn from sin. 
B. Turn to Jesus for forgiveness & salvation. 

Genuinely humbly, gratefully, & thankfully receive this gift God has offered you. 

When you do, (by God's Grace and Mercy), [legally] Jesus paid in full the cost required to set you free. 

At the moment of salvation God causes you to instantly be born again; right then you receive the new righteous nature of Christ and the permanent indwelling Holy Spirit.


After salvation...
4. God will help you live in the new righteous nature. 
5. Read the Bible daily so God can communicate with you, and pray so you can communicate with God. 
6. Join a biblical church; get baptized as a testimony to your conversion by God, and get discipled there too as a new believer. 
*The other things you learn as you grow in your faith from Scripture, church and reputable resources online as you grow and mature in the faith.
*Sanctification and growing is a life long process to make us more like Christ (in our holy righteous walk). 
*Church is where the family of God meets, it is our heaven on earth (as close to it as possible here). 

If you obeyed the Gospel, Welcome to the family. This will help you live out your new life. 🙂✝️

God bless
