Salvation
Jesus Christ wants a relationship with you.Next Steps
Salvation is the first step to a relationship.
Do You Want To Be Saved?
In the Bible, Romans 10:9 says: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
It’s that simple: believe and confess. You can pray this prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Amen.”

Read Your Bible
Read your Bible every day to get to know Jesus Christ. the guide and tool to kindness and the right path to eternal life. If you encounter questions, resolve them by asking someone at your church to help you with them.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105)
Prayer
Talk to God every day. He wants to hear from you and establish a relationship with you. He listens every time you call on His name and he is concerned about everything that concerns you. Talk to Him.
“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” (Matthew 21:22)
Baptism, Worship and Fellowship
Ask God to lead you to a church where you can serve with other Christians where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority on everything.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25)
Common Questions
What is salvation?
Salvation in Christianity, or deliverance or redemption, is the “saving [of] human beings from death and separation from God” by Christ‘s death and resurrection.
Are there sins too bad for God to forgive?
God wants to freely forgive everyone for every wrong they have ever committed. He says, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon,” (Isaiah 55:7) and, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18)
Can I lose my salvation?
No! One of the most marvelous things about the gift of salvation is that once you have received Jesus into your heart, He is there to stay. He has come into your life, and He will be with you forever. Jesus has said that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and that He will be with you always, even to the end of the world. (Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20)
Jesus knows you’re not perfect and never will be—and He loves you just the same! When He forgave you for your sins, He not only forgave your past sins but your present sins and those you will yet commit as well.
