It's simple to be saved...
In fact, it's so simple, it's hard to believe! People are deceived in thinking it can't be that simple.
BUT IT IS! Paul the Apostle warns of Satan deceiving you of the simplicity in Jesus Christ.

"But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Chirst."
2 Corinthians 11:3

You can be saved right now. You can be saved right where you are! This very minute! You can have that home in heaven waiting for you!

How to be saved...

1. Realise you are a sinner.
"As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one." - Romans 3:10
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," - Romans 3:23

2. Realise you will face judgement because of your sins.
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement," - Hebrews 9:27
"So then each of us shall give account of himself to God." - Romans 14:12
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." - Revelation 20:12-15

3. Realise you can NOT save yourself.
"But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; ..." - Isaiah 64:6
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit," - Titus 3:5

4. Realise that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins.
"Who Himself bore our our sins in His own body on the tree..." - 1 Peter 2:24
"...To Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood," - Revelation 1:5

5. Simply receive Jesus Christ by faith as your personal Saviour.
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:" - John 1:12
"...Sirs, what must I do to be saved? So they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." - Acts 16:30-31
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." - John 3:16

Salvation is trusting and receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour. It's trusting in the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary to pay for your sins. It's realizing there is absolutely nothing whatsoever you can do to save yourself and completely trusting in Jesus Christ to save you! It's not any church that saves. It's not baptism, not good works, not sacraments, not repenting, not praying through, not enduring to the end, not living a good life - IT'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart...
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost forever. I thank you for dying for me at Calvary and paying for my sins. I come to you now, Lord, just as You said in Your word, the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my Saviour. In Jesus Christ name, Amen.

If you just prayed that prayer, according to the Word of God, you are saved - AWESOME!

You say, but I don't feel any different. Guess what? Your salvation does not depend on your feeling. It all depends on doing what God said. God said if you receive and trust in Jesus Christ you are saved. Notice it does NOT say you "might" or "could" be saved - but "shall be saved". YOU ARE SAVED!
"For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13

Didn't you just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Look at what John 3:36 says! It says you have everlasting life! Not "maybe" or "hope so" - but HAVE - you are saved!
"He who believes in the son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." - John 3:36

Friend, if you prayed the prayer and received Jesus Christ - you are saved. You did what God said, and God cannot lie!
"...in the hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began." - Titus 1:2

What to do next...

1. Start reading the Bible.
Read the Gospels and Acts. Then read the rest of the New Testament. Then start in Genesis and read the whole Bible. And when you finish the whole Bible, start over again. Read your Bible everyday.
"As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby," - 1 Peter 2:2
"But Jesus answered him, saying, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God." - Luke 4:4

2. Start a prayer life.
You say, I don't know how to pray. Just talk to God like you do anybody else. There's no use to get pious before the Lord, He knows all about you anyway. Get a notebook and start a prayer list. Put down your friends and loved ones that need to be saved. Pray for the government, the country. If you have needs, health, financial, marriage problems, ask God to help you. Pray about EVERYTHING. Open the door of the day (morning) with prayer and lock the night with prayer. You can not pray too much. In your day by day activities - pray. At work - pray. Driving in the car - pray. Wherever and whenever - pray. Decide that prayer is going to be your life long friend.
"Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and he shall hear my voice." - Psalm 55:17
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8

3. Tell somebody about Jesus.
Go tell someone when you get through reading this that you just got saved. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Tell the world! Try to find someone everyday you can tell about Jesus.
"And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ." - Acts 5:42

4. Fellowship with other Christians.
Find a local Bible believing church. You need the fellowship of a local church. You need the leadership of a pastor. You need the teaching and loving you can only get in a church family.
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching." - Hebrews 10:25
