A Message from the Pastor
"How To Be Saved And Know It"

Many people question the Bible teaching of the security of the believer in Jesus' Church.

 I. Do you believe you are a lost sinner? See Rom. 3:9- "We have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin." Also Rom.3:23 "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Eccl.7:20) So we note here that all the testimonies regarding the state of the natural man, is that he is a sinner and therefore lost.

II. Do you believe that you’re Sins Bear a Death Penalty? See Rom. 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death." Also see James l: l5 "And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." (Rom. 7:5) God's verdict has always been, to "...the soul that sinneth it shall die." Ezek. 18:4.

III- Do you believe that Christ died in your place. He paid the Sin-Debt for you. See 1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." (1 Cor.15:3) You will have to pay your sin-debt unless you look to Christ as your Saviour. He died on the Cross, and bore your sins in His own body, so you wouldn't have to die.

IV. Do you believe that in Jesus Christ There Is Complete Provision for Your Salvation? See 1 John 5: ll-l2- "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (Rom. 3:2) The record of God is that as many as believe in Christ have everlasting life, and the righteousness of God is theirs. God has made complete provision for your Salvation and it is freely provided in His Son.

V. Do you believe that this Salvation is yours, the very moment you believe on HIM? See John l: 12 "But as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." Also Acts 16:31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ. He is the only means and way of salvation. We become sons of God by faith in Jesus Christ. What more could we ask of God?

VI. Now last, how can you know that you are saved? God says that you are saved if you believe these things: See 1 John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (John 3:36; John 5:24) Also John 6:37 "All that the father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out." Your salvation, my friend, does not rest upon any promise of man, but upon the divine authority of God himself. These are not fables, or theories, but it is your promise through the word of God. You can depend upon it. ("For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God: Not of works. lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8-9)

Dear friend, if this short Bible study has lead you to see yourself a sinner, lost, and in need of salvation, please call on the LORD now as you pray this prayer: LORD, I know I have sinned by breaking Your laws, and now in repentance, I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I want to be born again and receive new life in Him. I will follow Jesus as my Lord and with his help, obey Him in all that I do. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
If GOD has saved you, please write and testify of your conversion. Those who supplied this pamphlet would enjoy rejoicing with you over your salvation and new life in Christ.
