Only Jesus!
Message of Salvation
Why must I be born again (saved)?
John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
What does it mean to be saved?
When you are saved, you are as they say, born again! You are considered a new creation:
2 Corinthians 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.”
You are adopted and born again into the family of God. Your sins are removed and forgiven. Once your sins are forgiven, you are then covered with the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus
Christ.
You are seated with Christ in authority over all powers of the devil:
This means that you, as a believer in Christ, will be capable of casting out demons and healing sickness and disease (because you now have authority over sickness and disease, as well as all powers of the enemy). This authority is exercised through faith, so it is also important to cultivate and build your faith in order to fully take advantage of this benefit.
Yes, that means that you, as a believer in Christ, can go fourth and cast out demons and heal the sick… why? Because you have been given authority over sickness, disease and over all powers of the devil! Now don’t get me wrong, the more you understand about the ministry of deliverance and healing, the more effective you will be at ministering to others in those areas, but as for the authority needed to cast out demons and heal the sick… that belongs to you naturally as a child of God.
What must I do to be saved?
“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ 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”. Romans 10:9-10
A simple prayer:
Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God and that you came to earth, died for my sins and rose on the third day. I confess that I am a sinner and in need of your salvation. I come to you now and ask that you come into my life, and be my Lord and savior, and forgive me of my sin.
in Jesus name, Amen
What do I do now that I’m saved?
After being born again, it is important to cultivate your new relationship with Christ Jesus. You do this by spending time in God’s Word on a daily bases. I recommend starting out in the book of John in the New Testament. As you meditate (that is to dwell upon) God’s Word, it will begin to change the way you think. Your mind will be renewed and transformed and strongholds (old thinking patterns) begin to come down… this is vital to your spiritual freedom and wholeness!
Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Ephesians 3:17-19, “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Finally, seek to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is beyond the gift of salvation, and an extremely powerful gift that God wants to give each believer.
Change / transform from the old sinful man to the new righteous man(Use) Romans 12:2
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.
