Chapter Four
RECEIVING SALVATION
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God-Romans 3:23
But, while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
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
The world was still in sin when God gave his only begotten son, so we might have eternal life.
God, (while we were still in our sins) imputed all our sins on Jesus Christ when he hanged on the cross and poured Christ’s righteousness into us.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:21
The book of Isaiah says
53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:5-6
All you need to do is believe and act the word of God.
10:9 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.
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:9-10
An exchange was made, now a choice has to be made, either to receive this unmerited favor or reuse it. If you chose to receive, please pray out loud the prayer below.
‘Dear Lord, I come to you in the name o Jesus, I ask that you forgive and wash away all my sins because o Christ’s finished works. You said on your word that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Lord, I surrender all to him. I thank you or I am now saved, justified, forgiven and born again. I thank you Father for I have eternal life, Amen’.
Welcome to God’s kingdom, I you prayed the prayer above; you are now a heir, a child of the most high God, Congratulations.
Begin attending a Bible based church so you can be well nourished. If you die now, you go to heaven and have no fear o hell anymore, If you tarry till Christ comes (because he is coming again), you will be with him.
Now you are a new creature, you have a new life in Christ, those things you did are gone, just as if it never happened, God has forgiven all your sins and shortcomings. He has all blotted out, he said come let us reason together, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. God has forgiven your past, present and future sins through Christ’s finished works. You also need to let it go, forgive yourself and don’t allow the devil or anyone drag you back to your past or keep bringing it up. You are a new creature old things are passed away, behold all have become new. You are justified- Just as if it never happened thus don’t dwell on your past, move forward, your past was buried with Christ and a new you arose with Christ.
5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and
unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
Colossians 1:21-22
If you abide in God the above verse and many more promises are yours.
54:9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn
that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I
sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my
kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my
peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
