Blessed Hope Baptist Church is concerned about your soul.

 

Are you 100% sure that you will go to Heaven when you die?

 

We believe the Bible teaches a "Know So" salvation.

 

 

 

   1.  Realize you are a sinner.

 

        Romans 3:10 - "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

 

        Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory;"

 

        Isaiah 64:6 - "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;"

                         

 

   2.  Realize that there's a price for sin and that Christ died just for your sin.

 

        Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

                           

        Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were sinners, Christ died for us."

                            

        John 3:16 - "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."

 

 

   3.  Realize that Christ not only died, but He rose and is alive.

 

        Romans 6:8,9 - "Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised

                                raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him."

 

       1 Corinthians 15:3,4 - "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins

                                        according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day

                                        according to the scriptures."

 

 

  4.  Repent of your sin and ask for forgiveness.

 

       Romans 10:9,10 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that Christ 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."

 

       Acts 17:30 - "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent:"

 

       Luke 13:3 - "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

 

 

  5.  Ask Christ to save you today, and He will.

 

       Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

 

 

 

If you've never asked Jesus Christ to be your personal Saviour, you could do that right now! You could stop right

now and sincerely pray something like this:

Lord Jesus, I believe that You are God, that You died for my sin, and that You rose again from the dead. I know

that I am a sinner, and I ask You now to be my personal Saviour. I'm placing my full trust in You alone, and I

now accept Your gift of eternal life. Thank you for keeping Your promise! Amen.

If today you have prayed to receive Christ or if you would like more information, please call me at

(309) 621-1732  and allow us to help you with this critical decision. We would love to rejoice with you.

1 John 5:13 - A "Know So" Salvation

 

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the

name of the Son of God;  that ye may know that you have eternal

life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
