How to get saved

1. Acknowledge you are a sinner who needs to be saved and that you cannot save yourself.
  • for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; - Romans 3:23
  • But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8
  • For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23
  • 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. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:8-10
2. Believe that God loves you and desires to forgive you, believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He is the only way to heaven. 
  • For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. - John 3:16-17 
  • 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 
  • For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Romans 10:13
  • If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14 
  • And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. - Ephesians 4:32 
3. Confess and repent of your sins to God, tell Him that you are sorry and want to be forgiven.
  • If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9 
  • 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. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Romans 10:9-13
If you read this and realize that you are hopelessly lost, that there is nothing you can do to earn your way into heaven, all that remains to do is to ask God to save you. "If you ask, God will answer!"

Dear Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins, cleanse my heart of all sin and wickedness, come in to my life and be my Lord and Saviour. I believe you shed your precious blood on the cross; you died and rose again on the third day for me. Save me Jesus, I know I can’t save myself. Thank you for giving me eternal life and a place in heaven with you. Amen.   

If you just went through the ABC's of salvation and asked Jesus to save you, you are now a Christian! You have become born again and are a new creation in God's eyes!

Remember this, what Jesus has done in the past, He will do in the future. If you call out to Him, He will answer you. What He will do for one person, He will do for another. God is not a respecter of persons and He doesn't show favouritism. He will help anybody who calls out to Him. "You can take that to the bank!"

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." - Hebrews 13:8
