Oxbow Lake Baptist Church / Free Gift

"The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

It’s true, salvation is a FREE GIFT; but you must RECEIVE it.

The way to SALVATION is listed below:

WE ARE ALL SINNERS:

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

CHRIST PAID OUR SIN DEBT

"Who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree." I Peter 2:24

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT

"For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. " Ephesians 2:8 9

GIFT MUST BE RECEIVED

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." John 1:12

There is only one way to Heaven.
Through Jesus Christ.

TO GET SAVED:

Believe that you are a sinner.

Believe the Jesus Christ died for your sins.

Then ask Jesus Christ to come into your life, and believe it with all your heart, mind and soul

YOU MUST BELIEVE. The Bible tells us, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" Hebrews 11:6

NOW that you know what you must do to get saved, DO IT NOW!!!!!

The Bible tells us, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14

The Word of God is calling you right NOW this is what GOD says :

II Corinthians 6:2 - behold , now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Isaiah 1:18 - Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Jeremiah 29:13 - Ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

So if you believe the Word of God, Call upon him to save you NOW! Say a prayer such as this one or your own, but what ever prayer you use to call upon the name of the Lord to be Saved believe it with all your heart, mind and soul.

Lord Jesus, I come now confessing I'm a sinner, and I'm sorry for my sins. I believe you are the Son of God. I believe you died, were buried, and on the third day, rose again for the forgiveness of my sins. Jesus I ask you to come into my heart and save me NOW. Thank you, Jesus, for saving my soul. AMEN..

Based on the Word of GOD if you called upon him and believed it with all your heart, mind and soul you are SAVED.

God Commanded us (the Saved) to be a witness for him. Look at these scriptures:

Mark 16:15 - Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Ezekiel 3:18-19 - When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul

When a person gets saved he becomes a new creature and old things are passed away (II Corinthians 5:17). When you get saved you need to do a couple of things.

1. Pray (This is you talking to God)

2. Read the Bible (This is God talking to you)

3. Get Baptized. (This is you demonstrating the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ)

4. Live Holy. (Get rid of anything in your life that is not pleasing to GOD). Well how do you know what's pleasing to God, that comes by Reading and The Holy Spirit.

5. Fellowship with other Christians. (Go to Church).
