SIGNAL 30 - cont'd
As he read, I talked to God. I prayed a simple, silent prayer. "Dear God, I have believed in Jesus all my life, but I am simply not sure that I am a born-again Christian. Please help me to know if I am really one of your children."
God immediately spoke to my heart. I knew I was not a Christian. I had intellectually agreed with the truth of salvation, but I had never personally admitted my sin and trusted Christ. My "salvation" had been a collective agreement with my parents, my church, and my friends. I needed personally to confess my sin and trust Christ as Savior.
"Tom," I admitted, "I'm not a Christian, and I need to become one today." I dropped to my knees and prayed. In my simple prayer, I admitted that I was a sinner and asked Jesus Christ to forgive my sin and become my personal Savior.
When I got up from my knees, I knew I was a born-again Christian! I John 5:13 says, "Ye may know that ye have eternal life."
How about you, my friend? Are you 100% sure that if you were to die right now you would go to heaven? "Signal 30" signifies death. God says, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).
When you die, nothing will matter but the condition of your soul. What your friends think will not matter. What your parents think will not matter. What your wife, husband, or children think will not matter. What will matter is this: have you personally trusted Christ as Savior? Have you done that? Are you certain?
You can receive Christ as Savior right now if you:
- ) Believe that you, like everyone, are a sinner (Romans 3:23).
- ) Believe that Jesus died and was raised from the dead for your sin (Romans 5:8).
- ) Believe that Jesus will save you now if you ask Him (Romans 10:13).
If you sincerely believe the three preceding statements, pray this prayer:"
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner, and I deserve hell. I right now turn from my self and sin and ask you, Jesus Christ, to forgive my sin and save my soul. I now trust Jesus Christ alone as my personal Savior. Thank you for saving me today. In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you just trusted Christ as Savior, email me and share the great news!
