What is it?

Until you have been saved by Jesus, you’re the walking dead. Trapped in your sins. Spiritually unconscious. Separated from God. 


Jesus came to earth, died on a cross, and was raised to life to rescue you from sin, make you alive, and bring you into eternal relationship with God. Salvation is not only a matter of life after death, but also the way to live an abundant life on earth with Jesus, here and now.


Simply put, Jesus is salvation, and salvation is life (1 John 5:12).  When you are saved, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you!


Depending on your family background or religious tradition, you may have heard a variety of ideas about salvation.


Perhaps you think it’s what happens when you walk an aisle, pray a prayer or get baptized. Maybe you believe salvation is only for "good people,” or that salvation is something you have to earn with good works or something you can lose if you do bad things.


You don’t have to wonder or doubt. Jesus wants you to know that you have eternal life. (1 John 5:13). That’s why the Bible — God’s Word to us — is clear about every aspect of salvation:

Our sin has separated us from God.

"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Romans 3:23


"...the wages of sin is death."

Romans 6:23

We can do nothing to remove our sin.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."

Ephesians 2:8

At the cross, Jesus did for us what we couldn't do for ourselves. He died on a cross and shed His blood to pay for our sins.

"...the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

1 John 1:7

Through faith, we freely receive forgiveness and eternal life.

"...the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord."

Romans 6:23

Accepting Jesus' Free Gift

"... 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."

Romans 10:9

I am a sinner, and I want to be forgiven. I believe Jesus Christ, your Son, died for my sins and is alive right now. I turn away from sin and now confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and receive Him into my life. I ask you, Lord Jesus, to control my life and I thank you for giving me eternal life.
