The Bible, written over a period of 1,500 years by 40 different authors, is the only true written authoritative source to know God.
Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created.” After God created the earth and all that is, He created Adam. He breathed into Adam’s body, which He had created from the dust of the earth, and Adam became a living soul. Then God created Eve to be Adam’s helpmate. They rebelled, breaking their relationship with God. Through Adam’s sin, sin entered every human soul and caused us to be separated from God.
Because of sin, the body will die but the soul will exist forever in heaven or hell. God so loved mankind that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price of sin on the cross so that we can be forgiven and brought back into right relationship with God. God has provided a Savior, but we must take action to receive God’s gracious gift of salvation.
We must agree with God that we are sinners as Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” We must repent, turn away from sin and ask God to forgive us because Romans 6:23 says, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.” We must believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and commit our life to Him, because Romans 10:9 says, “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
We must pray something like this, meaning every word from the depth of our heart: Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I know that you died and rose again to save me. I turn away from my sin and ask you now to forgive my sins and save my soul. I want you to save me and be the Lord of my life. Amen!
Then you need to follow Christ in baptism and join a Bible-teaching, -preaching and -worshiping church.
