Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). You cannot get to Heaven if you’re not saved. Repent today one can die at anytime. Ye must be born again (John 3:7). For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). But men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil (John 3:19). Will you let Jesus death pass over you in vain and just go to Hell?!

                         STEPS TO BE SAVED
            Acknowledge the need for forgiveness
The first step toward receiving forgiveness is realizing the need for it. The Bible says that all have sinned. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8). When a person recognizes the fact that he is a sinner and doomed to Hell unless he is completely changed by God’s mercy, his self-righteousness and self-sufficiency will disappear. He will rightly see himself as being in a perilous condition, in desperate need of God’s intervention to save him from eternal damnation.
                    Repent and confess your sin
When a sinner comes to God with genuine sorrow in his heart for committed sins and confesses them, asking God to forgive him, God will not turn him away. God’s Word promises, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). It also says, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out” (Acts 3:19). Repentance does not earn God’s forgiveness, but rather, it places the sinner in a position where it can be received. It is the condition of the human heart required by God before forgiveness can be granted. We read in 2 Corinthians 7:10, “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
                          Forsake all known sin.
A person who is truly repentant will be willing to turn away from the sins of his past and to purpose never to go back to them. Isaiah 55:7 reads, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him . . . for he will abundantly pardon.” As one turns from sin and his own ways, God’s pardon is offered in abundance!
              Ask Jesus to come inside your heart
The repentant sinner must invite Jesus Christ into his heart and life, yielding control of his life in complete honesty and surrender to Him. Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Matthew 7:7-8).
             Believe in Faith that the work is done
 When a sinner has reached out to God for mercy and forgiveness, the gap between him and the Savior must be spanned by faith. Receiving is conditional upon the individual’s faith in Christ’s atonement. “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). Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “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.” When a repentant sinner looks to Christ’s atoning work at Calvary, faith takes hold and he receives salvation through the redeeming power of Christ.
                 Receive the assurance of salvation
God will let a person know when he has been saved. The Bible tells us, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” (Romans 8:16). Joy and peace will replace all feelings of guilt, emptiness, and heartache. The sense of condemnation will be gone in a moment of time. In its place will be a deep love for God and a desire to please Him.
  Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart (Hebrew 3:15).
