HOW
TO BE
SAVED
And when He [the Helper] has come, He will convict the world
of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 16:8)
Jesus was accused of relating to sinners. Jesus replied, Those who are well have no
need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous,
but sinners, to repentance. (Luke 5:31-32)
We look for a doctor when we are sick. In the same way, we look for salvation only if
we feel sinners.
The Holy Spirit works in our conscience to
make us aware of our sins. He generates a
deep feel of guilt. That guilt makes us long
for a Savior.
If we dont obey Him, we harden our heart
against the Holy Spirit. We then stop
hearing His voice little by little.
Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
So they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and
your household. (Acts 16:31)
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not
have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here
without a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the
servants, Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer
darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 22:11-13)
