How to be saved
Video: Gospel of GOD. What Must I DO to be SAVED?
Dear Reader: I have been praying for you before you even arrived at this site, for your heart to be softened so you can hear the words that God wants you to hear. You are here for a reason. I love you and Jesus loves you more! Being saved is about your heart and a relationship with Jesus.
How can you be saved?
First, believe in the gospel of Christ. 1 Corinthians 15 says:
1 I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
It is as simple as the ABC’s.
A is for Admit you are a sinner (we all are!)
Romans 3:10 says no one is righteous, not even one.
Romans 3:23 says All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death. (that’s the bad news .. but there is GOOD news!)
The B is for Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Romans 9:10 says If you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.
And the C is for Call upon the name of the Lord.
Romans 10:10 says if you confess with your mouth AND believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, you will be saved. It is as simple as that. It is with your HEART that you believe and are justified and with your mouth that you confess that Jesus is Lord that your are saved.
Romans 10:13 seals the deal. All that call upon the Lord will be saved. Our hope is not of this world, but of the Savior of the world. (Being saved has NOTHING to do with good works.
Ephesians 2:8 tells us, For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.

We are all sinners who NEED God.
Invitation to know Jesus, Only He can SAVE you!
Don't wait another day.
Don't wait until it's too late.
Seven Colors of Salvation
Video of this: https://youtu.be/JPWe7WjyzDQ
Black stands for sin: Sin is the evil (not God's way) in our heart. Sin separates man from God and leads to death.
James 1:15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Romans 8:6-7 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Romans 3:10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Red stands for the blood and love. The blood Jesus shed on the cross for our sins. God the Father, because of His love, sent His son Jesus to save us from the power of sin.
1 Peter 2:24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
Ephesians 2:7-8 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Blue stands for Faith, baptism of the Holy Spirit. When you believe in Jesus and
Galatians 2:16 And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.
For by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourself; it is a gift of god. Ephesians 2:8
Matthew 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
White stands for forgiveness or cleansing. Repent - give your heart and will to Jesus. Turn from your old ways and turn to Jesus and HIS way.
Psalm 51:7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[a] sin.8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 8:12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
Green stands for our growth in God's love: We need to grow by reading God’s word. As we walk in the light of God's word and the Holy Spirit we are continually cleansed by the blood, the Word and the Spirit.
Green reminds us of our growth in God’s LOVE2 Peter 3:18 Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 3: 16 - 17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.
Yellow stands for Heaven. Heaven is paradise - a home where we can have eternal life with God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is the eternal life through Jesus Christ.
John 14:2-3 Jesus said “ I am going to prepare a place for you, I will come and get you, so that you will always be where I am.”
Purple stands for Jesus, our King. He is our Lord, Teacher, and Friend. The Way, the Truth and the Life.
Revelation 19:13, 16 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. . . . On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Luke 10:27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
Steps for Growth
Pray every day (Talk with God and build a relationship with him!)
Read God’s Word (the Bible)
Love God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. And Love your neighbor as yourself.
Fellowship with believers. (Find a GOOD church that teaches God’s word!)

A Bold Prayer for Living in a Wicked World
“Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.” -2 Corinthians 3:12
Father,
You go before us. You are the God of our past and our present. By Your hand we were all created for unique purpose to be realized in the days of our lives on this earth. Though we have no way of knowing what is coming our way, we are guaranteed that life this side of heaven will be hard. We know we have an enemy set to destroy us. Give us the boldness we need to operate in the power Your Holy Spirit, to discern the lies of the enemy and recall and remember the truths in Your Word.
Jesus is the story of our salvation. There in the beginning with the Father, and now sit seated at His right hand. You pray for us, and never leave us. Jesus, empower us by Your grace to love the people in our lives well, even though the ways of the world are pushing against us. Our mistakes are rampant. We’re not getting it right all of the time. We’re succumbing to pride and discord, when You set an example of and commanded us to love above all else.
Holy Spirit stir conviction in our souls like never before. Give us lessons in humility, coach us in encouragement, and mentor us in peaceably and gracefully asserting our faith into the brokenness of this world. Infuse a durability in us that is unworldly. Bless our lives to persevere, and run the race marked out for us with full steam to the very end. Until the tape breaks and we’re called home.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
A Grace-filled Prayer for the Lost to Be Saved -
“So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.” -Romans 11:5
Father,
You are omnipotent and omnipresent, meaning you are everywhere, all of the time. Creator of time, You stretch and speed it up in accordance to Your will. Though we make choices and walk through the process of sanctification throughout our lives, all of our days are numbered. You are the God of our days and our lives.
You are close to the brokenhearted and ensure us that all will have the opportunity to hear Your word before Christ returns. For this reason, we do not lose hope in others. You never give up on us, so we will never give up on anyone. In our prayers, we will remember them and pray for softened hearts and open minds and ears to listen and learn. But we leave the restoration up to You. Only You can change hearts, shift minds, and enlighten souls to Your Truth.
For this reason, we do not worry about the status of the faith of others, yet, obediently continue to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Great Commission. By our words and our lives, we testify as witnesses to the One True God and salvation through Jesus Christ. We pray salvation for all people. Help us to love the people in our lives well, in Your honor, and to Your glory.
In Jesus’ Name,
A Powerful Prayer against False Teachers and Prophets
“I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.” -Acts 20:29
Father,
The end times can be a scary place to exist. There are many who fight the truth, speak against the truth, and oppress those who believe in and stand for the truth. For those of us that live our lives according to the Truth, it gets harder every day. We are misunderstood and mislabeled. We are lonely and alone at times. But through it all, we maintain a hope and a peace that surpass all understanding.
As You promised, in Christ we are strong. Strong enough to handle the criticism but running to You in tears. You pick us up when we are wounded and guide us back to good spiritual health when we are ailing. In moments of weakness, we know there are wolves ready to pounce on us with false promises. The deceit of the enemy has the potential to seep into the cracks of those with strong faith. Father, in Christ we are sealed, but we are still capable of entertaining lies.
Increase our ability to discern falsities. Even the devil can quote Scripture. Help us to see beyond human skin and be alert to the false teachers and prophets that You promise will litter the modern skyline as the end times continue to draw on. Only You know when the last day will be. Only You know, when Jesus will return. Until that day, protect all people from the evil forces of this world bent on deceiving, lying, and destroying the people of God.
In Jesus’ Name,
A Hopeful Prayer for Jesus to Return Soon
“All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.” -1 John 3:3
Father,
There are days on this earth that we yearn for Jesus come, now. Come, Lord Jesus, reigns paramount in our hearts and plays as the anthem to our souls. The compassion and grace of Christ’s presence in our lives causes us to crave more and more of Him. And on the days, Father, when the world is . . . well, the world . . . we pray for Him to come soon.
Your creation is majestic, and Your miracles manifest in our lives in gloriously faithful ways. You blow us away with Your faithfulness, Father, with Your true and perfect love and personal care for each and every life. Thank You for going before us. Thank You being the God of our memories, breaker of every chain, and forgiver of all sins through Jesus.
The more we know You, the more we want to come home. The most blessed life on this earth is only a shred of the happiness we will feel in heaven, in the presence of the Holy Trinity. Some days, imagining the initial embrace when we arrive home in heaven helps us to keep breathing. We trust in Your will and pray for Your will over all else and everything we desire. Father, we pray, Come, Lord Jesus. Come now. Come soon. Bring us home.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
An Encouraging Prayer for Christians in the Here and Not Yet
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of the mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” -Romans 15:5-6
Father,
We live stuck in between two realms . . . the world we live in and the eternity we look forward to in heaven. In the middle chaos abounds, and less makes sense or aligns with the truth of Your Word or Your intention for creation. But through it all, You reign. Jesus sits on Your right-hand side, and death has already been defeated.
In Your great mercy, You are waiting for every ear to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, leaving opportunity for all to come to You and live in the presence of Your love. We pray today that you bless our lives to honor You in everything we do. Every conversation, idle moment, and seemingly everyday task—let all we do be for Your glory.
In this life between here and the not yet, give us courage and bravery to operate in Your Truth even when we are afraid. As they strip Your name from everything and everywhere, let us proclaim it louder and longer . . . and everywhere we go. Jesus Christ has defeated death. In Him, we are victorious, and He will come again. Be our strength when it’s hard to be Christians in this world. Embrace us with Your encouragement and fortify us with Your perfect love.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
