The Gift of God


The bible said in Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  

"What Must I Do To Be Saved?"

Bible Reading; Acts 16:26-31 (King James Version)
26. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

27. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

It's simple to be saved ...

This saying is very true; that, it's so simple to be saved, It's hard for most people to believe!!!

And because of it's simplicity they are deceived in thinking "it-can't-be-all-that-easy?"

Well now, how hard do you want to be saved? And the truth is; "AS IT IS." It's simple, and He's as close as the mention of His Name... Amen and Amen...

Now understand this; the apostle Paul warns, in 2 Corinthians 11:3 of Satan deceiving you by the simplicity in Jesus Christ.Now let us read hear in our bible what Paul said here to the Corinthians;

2 Corinthians 11:3 (King James Version)
3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve though his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.The truth is that you can be saved right right now right where you are!!! This very minute!!! You can have that very home in heaven waiting for you!!!

The title to this message is; "What Must I Do To Be Saved?"

Heres how to be saved;

I. You must come to the realization that you are a sinner.

Romans 3:10 (King James Version)
10. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23 (King James Version)
23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

II. Then you must realize, you will face judgement because of your sins.

Hebrews 9:27 (King James Version)
27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement:

Romans 14:12 (King James Version)
12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Revelation 20:12 (King James Version)
12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Revelation 20:13 (King James Version)
13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it: and the death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Revelation 20:14 (King James Version)
14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 20:15 (King James Version)
15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

III. You must realize, you can not save yourself.

Isaiah 64:6 (King James Version)
6. But we are all as unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Titus 3:5 (King James Version)
5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

IV. Come to the realization with all your heart, that Jesus Christ, died on the cross to pay for your sins.

1 Peter 2:24 (King James Version)
24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:by whose stripes ye were healed.

Revelation 1:5-6 (King James Version)
5. And from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead ,and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins, in his own blood,

6. And has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

V. Simply receive; "Jesus Christ, by Faith, as your Personal Lord and Savior... "

John 1:12-13 (King James Version)
12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to be the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The title of the message is; "What Must I Do To Be Saved?"

Here, once again, in our bible reading and my prayer is this; "Beleive in Gods Words, To You."

Acts 16:26-31 (King James Version)
26. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

27. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Take special note of what Paul & Silas said in verse 31; 
And they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved", "and thy house."Notice your bonus along with that oh how sweet Jesus is; Praise Him right now for his goodness and mercies...

John 3:16 (King James Version)
16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beleiveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Salvation is trusting and receiving Jesus Christ, as your Personal Lord, and Savior. And By trusting in Jesus Christ, whom died on the cross of Calvary, to pay for your sins!

By coming to the reality, that there is absolutely nothing, in this present world you can do to save yourself. But to completely trust in Jesus Christ, to save you from eternal damnation!

It is not any church that saves, It's not baptism, not even good works, or sacraments, or doing the sign of the cross on your forehead and down your chest, or praying the rosary, not living a good life, there's really nothing you can do to save your self, nothing but, to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (King James Version)
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.Now does that sound plain to you? NOT OF YOURSELVES and NOT OF WORKS. . .Now, if you want to get saved ? Then; Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart.

Heavenly Father;
By Faith, I come to you in prayer asking for your forgiveness of my Sins, I confess, with my mouth and believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ, is your Son, and that he died on the cross at calvary that I shall be forgiven and to receive the gift of eternal life.

Father, I believe that Jesus Christ, rose from the dead and descended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of you Father, I ask you right now to come into my heart and life to be my personal Lord and Savior. I will repent of my sins and will serve and worship you all the days of my life. Thank you for cleansing me in the blood of Jesus Christ. In Jesus Name, Amen.

If you just prayed that prayer — according to the Word of God — YOU ARE SAVED! HALLELUJAH!

Welcome to the family of God.
You say, but I don't feel any different. Well, Your salvation does not depend on your feeling. It all depends on doing, what God said!God said if you receive and trust in Jesus Christ you are saved. Notice it does NOT say you "might" or "could" be saved — but "shall be saved". YE ARE SAVED!

Romans 10:13 (King James Version)
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Didn't you just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Now let us Look at what the Word of God says in John 3:36

John 3:36 (King James Version)
36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth notthe Son shall notsee life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

My Friend, if you prayed the prayer and received Jesus Christ — YOU ARE SAVED! You did what God said — AND GOD CANNOT LIE!

Titus 1:2 (King James Version)
2. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

"What must do next ?"

1. Start reading the Bible. 

Read the gospel of St.John. Then read the New Testament. Then start in Genesis and read the whole Bible. And when you finish the whole Bible – start all over again you'll learn something new every time. You must read your Bible everyday and let be a part of your daily sustenance. As you read the Word of God you'll become fluent.

1 Peter 2:2 (King James Version)
2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Luke 4:4 (King James Version)
4. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

2. Start a prayer life. 

And you might say, I don't know how to pray or even know what to say. Well, just talk to God, like you talk to anybody else. Only difference is, is that you can talk to Him about anything.

He knows all about you, even more than you think you know of yourself. God, care more than you can imagine.

Tell Him of your friends and loved ones or co-workers, that needs to be saved. Even those people around you that needs, what you now have which is Jesus Christ, The Savior Of The World.

Go ahead now, thats it pour out your heart towards Him he cares about them also. You can talk to God, day or night rain or shine, even while you walk or while your working He's there with you always ready to hear what you have to say and even what you would like to ask of him.

If you have needs, health problems, financial, marriage problems talk to Him and ask Him for help. Pray, for the president of your country, pray about any thing or every thing you could think of, God will hear you.

Every morning, open the door of the day with a prayer and lock your door to your heart at night fellowshipping with God. Remember, He's your Father now...

In what ever you do pray, in everything you do pray.

Psalm 55:17 (King James Version)
17.Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.

Matthew 7:7-8 (king James Version)
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

3. Now it's your turn, tell sombody about Jesus and His Love for them. 

Tell them when you get done reading this that you just got saved. tell your family, tell your friends, tell the world! Try to find someone every day that you can tell about Jesus, and His Love for them.

Acts 5:42 (King James Version)
42. And daily in the temple, in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

4. Fellowship with other Christians. 

Find a local Born Again, Holy Ghost Filled Bible-Believing Christian Church. Why?

Because you need the leadership of a Pastor. You need to be taught and be preached to that you can get from a Pastor who really loves God, with all his heart. One that Prays for his congregation, guides and directs them in the Word of almighty God.

May our Father, lead and guide you by His Spirit, from this moment on, God Bless You.

Remember, Stay close to God, by prayer and reading your Bible...
