How to be saved ?
John 3:16
“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.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not
condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”

Salvation Prayer
Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner and I come short of your righteous requirements. I realize that punishment
for my sin is death. God I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son whom you gave to die in my place for my sins.
I confess Jesus Christ that He is Lord and I believe that you raised Him from the dead. I ask God that you have mercy
on me and that you would forgive me of all my sins and cleanse from sinful contamination. Jesus I accept you in my heart
and in my life as my Lord and Savior in your name I pray amen. Dear God I ask you to bless me with the gift of your Holy
Spirit. Thank you God for loving me and having mercy on me, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
