HOW CAN I MAKE SALVATION MY OWN
"Believe in Jesus, you and your family will be saved"( Acts 16.31)."For if you confess that
Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death , you will be saved "(Romans 10:9).Peter said to them:" Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins shall be forgiven; and you shall receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2: 37-38) .
Believe that Jesus died on the cross to atone your sins. Receive Him into your heart and into your life. Since Jesus has obtained forgiveness of the sins of all , whoever believes in Jesus will have his sins forgiven.... "Salvation is to be found through him alone, in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us". (Acts 4:12)
"Happy are those whose sins are forgiven' and whose wrongs are pardoned." (ps 32:1)
"Some however did receive Him and believed in Him; so He gave them the right to become God's children" (Jn. 1:12)
PROMISE OF JESUS
Holy Sprit is the free gift promised by Jesus, it is through the Sprit that we call God Father.
"Whoever is thirsty should come to me and drink.....Whoever believe in Me, streams of life-giving water will flow from within him"(Jn. 7:37-38).
Whoever believes in Jesus can fill his heart everyday with the Holy Sprit- the life giving water. He will also receive the grace to lead many to Jesus who is source of this 'life-giving water' .
Those filled with the Holy Sprit will: (1) experience God's love.(2) Receive the gift of prayer, and the power to understand the inner meaning of God's word. (3)Obtain peace of mind, self control, the grace of endurance, the power to love and to forgive.(4) Receive the most precious gift of becoming a new creation in Christ Jesus (5) above all, enjoy and active and meaningful Christian life- a life of commitment to Jesus and to the Gospel.
