"But we have a responsibilitiy to accept His free gift of salvation. We are not automatically saved just because Christ died for us; the Bible does not support universalism (the idea that all people will be saved). You personally must make your decision for Christ, and if you refuse to do so you are, in a sense, already making a decision -- the decision to reject Him and turn your back on His salvation."
Approaching Hoofbeats, The Four Horsemem of the Apocalypse, by Billy Graham, page 229.

In today's ever-increasing secular world, it's important to realize that the God of the Bible is alive and well, and that God has a plan -- and a free gift -- for your eternal destiny…
special note
The Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible is based on the Hebrew Masoretic Text and the New Testament is based on the the Greek Majority Text, the latter supported by the majority (hence, its name) of the ancient manuscripts and early Christian writings.
I believe the King James Version (KJV) to be the most accurate and God-preserved version of His Word. For that reason, the KJV is primarily used throughout this blog.

How to Receive Your Free Gift...
There are three things God wants you to know:
1. You need to be saved. "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." The Gospel of John, Chapter 3, Verse 3.
2. You cannot save yourself. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man cometh unto the Father, but by me." The Gospel of John, Chapter 14, Verse 6.
3. Jesus has already provided for your salvation. "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." The Gospel of John, Chapter 3, Verse 16.
Your part:
1. "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved..." The book of the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 16, Verse 31.
2. Jesus said "...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." The Gospel of Luke, Chapter 13, Verse 3.
3. Confess your sins to Jesus because there is only one mediator between God and Man, Christ Jesus, and you need to cleanse your soul through confession. See this part of Apostle Paul's letter to Timothy in 1 Timothy, Chapter 2, Verse 5.
4. Confess before men. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, Chapter 10, Verse 9.
