Charlestown Independent Church

Are you interested in accepting Jesus as your personal
Lord and savior?

You can make sure you will spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done. Jesus loves you personally. He even died so you can have eternal life, then He rose from the dead to prove it!

What do you treasure most in your life? Do you treasure your soul? Your top priority should be to ensure your soul’s salvation.

Matthew 16:26 states: “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and

loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Hebrews 9:27 states: “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” And Romans 14:10 and 12 state that we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and every tongue shall confess to God.

COMMON EXCUSES
—I am a good person and don’t need Jesus.

—I am too bad to be saved.
I Timothy 1:15: “...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners... .”

—There are too many hypocrites in the church.

HOW TO GET ETERNAL LIFE
—Recognize you are a sinner and need forgiveness.

—Admit your sins to Jesus.
John 1:9: “That was the true Light which gives light to every man who comes into the world.”

—Receive Him personally.
John 1:12: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name”
Romans 10:9-10: “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. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.”

PRAYER OF SALVATION

Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness. I am sorry for my sins and I don’t want to sin against you anymore. I believe you are the son of God and you died on the cross for my sins. I also believe you rose from the dead so that I may have victory over the grave. Please forgive me now Lord and cleanse me. Come into my life. Thank you Jesus for shedding your blood for me and for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen.

Luke 15:10: “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
