This is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was promised by God through
the prophets, the scriptures spoke of Him first in the book Jesus laid His life down as foretold in the scriptures to please His Fathers will to pay for mans sin. The scripture says, "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." John 10:17-18 He died so that you might be saved from eternal punishment in hell, forgiven of sin, become a child of God, be sanctified, filled with the Holy Spirit of God, be eternally secured with the hope of heavern, eternal life and the ressurection from the dead. "I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake." 1 John 2:12 "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 "And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit," Ephesians 5:18 "This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:39-40 So the scriptures teach us, that we need to be saved from this sinful world, that we were seperated from God since birth. All men are sinners, for as Solmon said "there is not one who has not sinned" We need a savior and our loving Father provided one in the Messiah The Lord Jesus. There are no magic prayers, there is nothing you can do to deserve to be saved, the Bible teaches that men who came to know the scriptures and believe in the God of heaven, simply repented, "had a change of heart" and turned to God living for Him daily. Trusting His word and dedicating their life to serve Him in obidience.
