How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Fundamentalist Born Again Christians believe that when the Lord returns, they will be caught up in the clouds to meet Him. This belief is based on 1 Thessalonians 4:11-17, which is entitled "The Day of the Lord" in the King James Version of the Bible.

Some people claim to know the exact date of the Lord's return by calculating seven years, with 360 days for each year, from the signing of the covenant mentioned in Daniel. However, this method is unreliable because no one knows the timing for the signing of the covenant. Therefore, it is better to be ready at any time and to live according to God's will, rather than to speculate about the details of the second coming.

It should be noted that the term "Rapture" is not used in the Bible to describe this event.

Believers should be prepared to be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord when He returns. The Bible clearly states that no one knows the day or the hour of the Lord's return, except for the Father.

Therefore, we should remain humble and watchful, rather than presumptuous and boastful, because no one knows whether they will still be alive at the time of the second coming.

It is wrong for anyone to claim that they will meet the Lord in the clouds, as this suggests that 1 Thessalonians 4:11-17 describes a Rapture when it does not.
