Eternal Life

How to Be Saved

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life." — 1 John 5:13

Are you 100% sure where you are going when you die? Here is how to be saved according to the King James Bible.

Step 1

Recognize You Are a Sinner

God's Word is clear — every person born into this world is a sinner in need of a Saviour.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

Sin has a price — and that price is death. God is holy and will not allow even one sin into Heaven.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Step 2

Understand That Jesus Paid Your Debt

Jesus Christ is God, who came in human flesh, lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead three days later. The only thing that can wash away your sin is 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
Step 3

Understand That Works Cannot Save You

Salvation is not earned — it is a free gift from God. Baptism, church membership, and good works cannot save you.

"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
Step 4

Repent and Call Upon the Lord

Be sorry that you are a sinner and, by faith, call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save you.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
" Romans 10:9
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

A Sinner's Prayer

Dear God, I am a sinner with no hope to save myself from eternal hell. I believe Jesus is God, who died for my sins, was buried and rose again the third day according to the Holy Scriptures. I believe and trust by faith on your perfect work at the Cross. I thank you for saving my soul, I pray in Jesus Christ's name, my personal Saviour, Amen.

The prayer does not save you — it is the heart belief in the Lord Jesus Christ that saves you.
