"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." ( John 14:6 )

"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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." ( Romans 10:9-10 )

Jesus said there is only one way you can get to heaven. If you have not accepted Him as your Savior, you must or you will be condemned for eternity:

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." ( John 3:18 )

To accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, simply do as the Bible tells us in Romans 10:9-10 above...believe in Him with your heart, and confess Him with your mouth. You can say this prayer or one similar for your confession:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins, and God raised You from the dead. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, amen.

If you just received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, welcome to the family of Christ, and to eternal life! Please read and study your Bible, and pray every day for guidance. If you don't have a Bible, here is one online: Blue Letter Bible.

I am your brother in Christ Jesus,

Keith

I think that this version of the Gospel is very watered down, I accept all what you have written however, its important, What you have put in your presentation is a typical worldly sales technique.  offering people a Quick ticket to heaven, the Gospel is more than this its about bringing Gods kindom to the whole world and Gods kingdom is about bringing spiritual, emotional, physical, healing to this troubled world.

Following Jesus is more than saying a few words, its an action, of love and committment to God. i didn't hear you mention to people that they may suffer for the sake of Gods gospel reason being we paint being a christian and knowing God in a rosey way when in reality it can be worst. 

I think followers of Jesus should count conversations rather than conversions.

Please don't get me wrong i Love the Lord Jesus and he is central to whole theme of the bible.  I think we should introduce people to the character of Jesus, His love, compassion, committment, selflesness, strength, controversy, and every other characteristic, i say this because that's Gods goal is to make us more and more like Jesus, Jesus didn't go around telling people to believe in him did he now but people wanted to follow him through listening to him, seeing him helping people, and seeing him defending people etc.  shouldn't we be doing the same shouldn't we be presenting Jesus in a more practicle way rather than the A B C to heaven

 

God Bless you all in christ

Nicky

Hi Nicky,

You're correct, I'm offering the same 'deal' that Jesus did Himself: 'Believe in Him, or be condemned' ( John 3:18 )...just like my original post states.

You're correct again. In addition to confessing with your mouth, one must also "believe in your heart" to be saved ( Romans 10:9-10 )...that's in my original post, too.

First things first, Nicky. Wouldn't you rather have a saved person initiating the conversation?
