Free Eternal Life
Wouldn't you like to go through life knowing exactly where you were going when you died? It is mankind's desire to live forever, and this goal is absolutely within reach. The secret to eternal life is simple. Grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
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. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
God is offering eternal life to you absolutely free. It is a free gift. You may still think that you have to do something to earn it, but the truth is, there is no way we could possibly earn salvation. The only way to earn your salvation would be to live a perfect sinless life. One sin, once in your life, makes you guilty before God. There is no way anybody can live a perfect sinless life because we are all born with corrupt, sinful flesh. This of course means that once you sin, you cannot make it to heaven by yourself.
And you hath he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins...(Ephesians 2:1)
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
So why is God just giving away salvation to just anybody who wants to take it? There are so many bad people in the world that do horrible things like steal, and kill. Why would God allow people like that to go to heaven?
The reason is that Jesus died for the sins of the world, and he did it because that is how much he loves us. There is no sin to great to be washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Christ died for you because you were a sinner. He did not die for you because you were trying to live a good life, or trying to be holy. He died for us while we were yet sinners. That means that anybody, anywhere, anytime can be saved.
Jesus became sin on the cross and because of this, the shedding of his blood allowed him to wash away the sins of the world. After Christ died, his spirit went to Heaven, his body went to the grave, and his soul went to Hell in your place. He then rose from the dead 3 days later and will live forever. This is the sacrifice God made for you so you could be with him forever, it is yours if you want it.
Ok, so how do I get saved? Do I have to change my life around and live only for God? Do I have to go through some kind of religious ritual or sacrament? Do I have to set up an appointment with a priest? No, no, and no. Absolutely not, these things have nothing to do with your salvation. Salvation is something that is between you and God. You can do it right there where you are sitting as you read this. Salvation is a simple act of faith and if you want to get saved right here and right now, this is all you have to do.
1)
Understand that you are a sinner and on your way to hell. There is nothing
you or any other person can do in this world to change that. No amount of
good works, religious sacraments, rituals, or church can get you out.

2) Knowing
that you are a sinner and deserve Hell, believe that Jesus Christ died on the
cross and shed his blood for your sins. Christ became sin on the cross and
bore the penalty for all sinners so we wouldn't have to.
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)
3) The prayer below is something you can say between you and God. The prayer itself will not save you, but if you genuinely want to be saved and don't exactly know how to say it, this prayer will just help you out. Keep in mind that it is not the prayer that is saving you, it is your faith in Jesus Christ. You are trusting him and him alone to be your personal savior.
Salvation Prayer
Lord, I know I'm a sinner. I believe that you died for my sins past, present, and future. Right here and now, I am accepting you as my personal savior, and trusting you alone to save me from Hell. Thank you Lord for having mercy on me, a poor lost sinner. In Jesus' name. Amen
If you just spoke to God and asked God to save you, you are now saved! You are now a child of God and there is nothing that can take that away from you!
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (Romans 8:35)
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38,39)
