What does it mean to be "Saved"? And why Do I need it??

People often ask me, "Why do I need to be saved?"

"You must be born again. Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved." Holy Bible, John 3:7 Acts 4:12 NIV

Because we are a fallen creation, (Meaning- Eve ate the apple, swallowing the sin and then passing it on to her children) We are now filled with sin. "For all have sinned and fall short of he glory of God." Romans 3:23
God has made the decision to come to down from Heaven, in the flesh, to be a sacrifice for all sin.
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14
When we open our hearts and believe and accept this gift, by asking Jesus to come into our hearts and "Save us." - The bible says that we pass from Death, to life. This means that without the belief in Jesus and what he did, We are dead in our sins. It's simply not enough to just believe in GOD. When we die, We will not be cleansed and cannot enter into the gates of Heaven, to be ru-united with our Heavenly father.

If this is something you'd like to explore more (I urge you friends) Take some time to open up your bibles, and study the books of MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, and JOHN. These are the four Gospels. These are four eye witness accounts, from the apostles that walked and followed after Jesus while on earth. After he died, They were given a job, which was to "Seek and Save" The lost.

Accepting Jesus into your heart is simple, as long as its something you want. Go somewhere quiet, If its possible, I recommend getting as low to ground as possible. Just start talking to Jesus. The words will come out. You will start to fill things like guilt and sadness. This is just your conscience bringing to light the reasons you need Jesus to save you. Speak about these things, and ask our father to forgive you for them. Ask him to cleanse you of all unrightiousness. He will. He will save you and has been waiting. It doesnt matter what your friends say, or your parents. It doesnt matter if the preacher tells you there is no hope for you! Dont listen to that. Listen TO GOD.

After you pray, and ask him to forgive you, believe his word, and study it! The more you study it, The more you learn, the more you understand. Your faith begins to build as well as your love for him. Please let me know either way, so we can talk about it. :)
