Admit to God that you are a sinner. Sin is refusing to acknowledge God's authority over your life. Everyone sins. The result of sin is spiritual death or eternal separation from God when you die. Repent; turn away from your sin toward God. (Acts 3:19; 6:23)

Believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and accept Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin. Jesus took the penalty for your sin by dying on the cross because you could not meet God's requirement for a perfect sacrifice for your sins . (John 3:16)

Confess to God your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As Lord, Jesus has earned the right to be obeyed as a sheep obeys his shepherd. (Romans 10:9-10, 13; 1 John 1:9)

You may pray a prayer similar to this: "Dear God, I know that you love me. I admit I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my sin. I place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name I pray, amen."

If you sincerely asked Jesus to be your Savior, tell a pastor or another Christian about your decision. Show your faith in Christ by asking a Bible-believing church for baptism by immersion. (Matt. 28:19-20, Acts 2:41)

For more information on God's Plan of Salvation read the following scriptures. This is commonly called the Roman Road to Salvation because all of these verses are found in the book of Romans.

Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

Romans 5:8 "God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

Romans 6:23 "...The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "

Romans 10:9,10 "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."

Romans 10:13 "...whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
