How do I get saved or born again in Christianity?

The most important information to know in The Holy Bible is that you can get 'saved' or 'born again' through our Brother, Jesus 'The Christ' (Yeshua), and you can receive The Holy Spirit as a deposit of your salvation.  This will change your life and allow you to enter Heaven.

 

How do I get 'saved'?  How do I get 'Born Again'?


Believe Jesus (Yeshua) was sent by our Father, God (YaH), to save you.  "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16 (NIV)).  Understand that Yeshua became the Sacrificial Lamb for His believers, giving His life as a sacrifice for the sins of His believers, so that He could forgive the sins of His believers, receive Love from His believers, and open the door to God in Heaven for His believers  (John 14:5-7).
 

Realize that you have committed sins in the past, but now want to avoid evil influences in the future, and follow Yeshua forever.  "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord" (Acts 3:19, Romans 10:17, 2 Peter 3:9 (NIV)).  Pray to Yeshua and ask Him to forgive all of your sins, while you also forgive the people who have sinned against you (Psalm 51:1-17; Matthew 6:9-13).

"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory" (Ephesians 1:13,14 (NIV)).

 

Believe The Holy Bible was inspired by our Father.  "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16,17 (NIV)).  When Yeshua came to mankind, He had the opportunity to correct the old scriptures, so you will find truth in The Old Testament of The Holy Bible.

 

Learn the Commandments, and try your best to avoid breaking them, so that you can avoid sinning (Exodus 20:1-17, Matthew 22:37-40).  Begin reading The New Testament which will help guide your new life.  Going to church to find a Bible study group, where you can meet other Christians, if you want to surround yourself with good friends. 

 

Pray often to God, and develop a very close relationship with Him. He will fill you with love and joy beyond words. 

 

Receive The Holy Spirit into your heart, soul, and mind (Acts 19:1-7). You are 'born again' (John 3:3-7, 1 Peter 1:23,25).

 
Keeping a powerful Holy Spirit -

 

Try to Avoid sinning with all your heart, as if your very life depends on it (Hebrews 12:4).  Do not intentionally sin.  Pray to Yeshua and ask for His forgiveness each time you sin, and forgive the people who sin against you.
 

Continue reading the New Testament in The Holy Bible for better understanding.
 

Remember to keep the Sabbath Holy, so you don't forget.  Try to memorize the Commandments during the Sabbath (Exodus 20:1-17, Matthew 22:37-40).
 

Spread the word of our Father - "Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”" (Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)).
 

"Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments”" (Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV)).  Give thanks and glory to God.
 

The Holy Spirit can become so powerful that The Holy Spirit is capable of miracles (Matthew 21:21), while human beings, in comparison, are far weaker than The Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:8,9).  The longer a believer avoids sinning, the more powerful The Holy Spirit becomes.  The more powerful The Holy Spirit becomes, the easier it is to avoid sinning.  An essential fact to learn is that the power of The Holy Spirit within a person can be grieved and quenched due to that person committing any kind of sin (Ephesians 4:30, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24).  The more often a person sins, the more quenched The Holy Spirit becomes, and the harder the punishments become (Isaiah 63:10, Hebrews 10:26-31).  Our Father allows these punishments as a 'wake up call' for a person to stop sinning and return to a more righteous lifestyle (Matthew 18:12-14).

 

There's a difference between intentional and unintentional sinning (Numbers 15:27, Leviticus 4:2).  It is important to note that an unintentional sin is still considered a sin, eventhough it was truly unintentional.  However, as would be expected, an unintentional sin is far less devestating than an intentional sin.  “‘But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the Lord and must be cut off from the people of Israel.  Because they have despised the Lord’s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.’” (Numbers 15:30,31 (NIV)).  However, Yeshua (Jesus 'The Christ') gave his life to save us sinners, so we can place complete faith and reliance on Him (John 3:16).

 

Unfortunately, we don't see nearly as many miracles as we should be seeing because so many people sin far too often, which quenches the power of The Holy Spirit.  As Mahatma Gandhi said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."  Please do everything necessary to avoid sinning so The Holy Spirit will be powerful within you, which will allow miracles to happen all around you.

 

Commentary

 

It is possible to believe in The Messiah without accepting Him as your Savior and Lord of your heart, soul, and mind. It's also possible to believe in The Messiah without receiving The Holy Spirit. The devil is a prime example of one who believes in The Messiah, but hasn't been baptized in The name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit (James 2:19). All the devil worshippers, who are 'human beings', also believe in God, but haven't been baptized in The name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Other believers (in Judaism, the Pharisees, and even many unsaved 'Christians') who have failed to develop personal and loving relationships with The Messiah, haven't been baptized in The Holy Spirit, so The Messiah said He doesn't 'know' those believers. Sadly, there are many Mormon, Catholic, and also many 'Christian' believers, whom think they are 'saved' but are not going to 'find' the 'narrow way' to the 'small gate' of Heaven (Matthew 7:14). Those believers will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). 

 

A 'saved' Christian's body becomes a temple for the Holy Spirit, who is a living gift given to you by God (1 Corinthians 6:19). The Holy Spirit urges Christians to fellowship with other Christians, and urges them to study The Bible, which is the word of God. Equally important, The Holy Spirit urges Christians to maintain a personal, loving relationship with The Father and The Son. A 'saved' Christian should be reminded, and feel urged, to pray at least five times a day: after waking from sleep, before each meal, and before going to sleep (Luke 22:17-21; Colossians 3:17). These things are not burdensome in any way for a Christian who is filled with The Holy Spirit, despite all the socio-economic demands of the world on our daily lives. Are you all talk and no action, which is also referred to as, having faith but no works (James 2:14-26)?

 

The daily prayer is quite short, and yet, it includes forgiving other people for their sins (also known as debts or trespasses), so forgiveness is obviously very important to God. If our Father is to forgive the sins of His children, those Christians must forgive the people who have sinned against them (Colossians 3:13). If believers fail to forgive other people for their sins, especially if the sins are so minor as not to be referenced in The 10 Commandments, the salvation of those believers is questionable. The Messiah shed His blood and sacrificed His life on the cross to forgive our sins. What have you done to forgive?

 

Do you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:36-40)? One way to know for sure is to analyze whether or not you keep His commandments, which are not burdensome (1 John 5:2,3). If you truly love and follow The Messiah, you will keep His commandments without even having to think about keeping them because love fulfills the law (Romans 13:8-10). As you love The Messiah, so you should also love your neighbors as you love yourself. You must love because it's The Messiah's first commandment and because God is love (1 John 4:8). It's easy to love those who love you, but have you learned how to love your enemies yet (Matthew 5:44-47)? Your enemies are waiting to become Christians and your greatest allies.

 

Have you heard of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)? How are you doing with it? Would you say you are hot, cold, or lukewarm (Revelation 3:15,16). Would you say you're a temple for The Holy Spirit? Do you think The Messiah really knows you? God loves you so much He sent His Son to die for you, and He wants you to be born again and join Him in Heaven for eternity. Getting saved by God's grace is a miracle, so please honor and respect His grace by learning and living His scriptures. If God wanted you to merely sit back and revel in your salvation through God's grace, there would be little need for a majority of the scriptures in The Holy Bible.

 

I'll join you in prayer for us all.

 

Please read, The Messiah said, "I do not know you".
