PATHWAY TO SALVATION
The pathway to God is through personal faith in Jesus Christ. We can’t earn Salvation through our own merits or intellectual acceptance of Jesus Christ. Salvation is given to us as a gift through our loving and merciful Father, who sent His only Son Jesus Christ to pay the wages of our sins (John 3:16).
You must humbly come to God and be determined to turn away from sin and a way of life that displeases him. Also, you must have total trust in Christ’s saving power for your life.​
Jesus told his disciples, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). He did not point the way to God. He himself claimed to be the only way to the Father and the source of eternal truth and life.
​
Christ promises this to those who turn to him: “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).
​
In order for you to receive Salvation, is there a path that we need to follow. It simply begins with 1) confession and repentance of your sins, 2) belief that Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins, 3) belief in your heart that our Heavenly Father God raised him from the dead, and 4) Confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. “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” (Roman 10:9).

A Prayer of Salvation
If you are sincerely ready to allow Jesus Christ to become your Lord and Savior then you can pray the following prayer:
Dear Lord, I recognize that I am a sinner. I repent of all my sins and humbly ask for your forgiveness. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died on the cross and rose from the dead after the third day. I believe that He is able to remove my sin and give me eternal life. I want to turn away from my sinful life and live a new life. By faith, l gratefully receive Your gift of salvation. I ask You to enter my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I will trust you with my life and live for you now and in eternity. Thank you for my salvation. In Jesus’ name, I pray Amen.
If you read this prayer and sincerely put your faith in Christ, God promises not only to forgive you, but also to adopt you into his family. Accepting Jesus Christ in your life was one of the best decisions you could ever make. Also, it is the greatest gift you will ever receive!

Now that you have given your life to Christ, don’t ever feel like you must live a perfect life. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). You must remember, Jesus Christ was the only perfect man who walked this earth. When we error in judgment, we must ask for forgiveness and learn from our mistakes.
It is important that you unite with a church or Christian Ministry that teaches the word of God. This is how spiritual growth and maturity flourishes in your life.
