Sunday School Resource – What do I do to be saved?

This question answers a lot of other sub questions such as the following: If I am not lost why do I need to be saved? What am I being saved from? Why should I be saved? How do I know that I need to be saved? A person who desires to be saved is someone who needs a saviour. When we talk about being saved we are talking about a spiritual state and not a physical state. A person will know that he needs to be saved when he finds that he /she begins to feel empty and dissatisfied with life. They find that that they may even be financially comfortable and in a loving marital relationship but still find that there is a void inside of them. This person may have everything but they are still empty. They try to fill the void with friends, hobbies, outings, buying themselves expensive gifts but find that the void is still there.. The bible shows us the way and is the answer to all our life problems.. The manual that our manufacturer has left for us to order our lives by is the Bible, has all the answers 2 Timotht 3:16. You may ask, how do we know that the bible can answer our problems. We know that the bible can answer our problems because it is a book that has spanned many generations and has fulfilled over 300 prophecies it had predicted ie the birth of Christ, the deliverance of the children of Isreal from the hands of the Egyptians etc. There is the scientific evidence that the bible is true and it has been confirmed by science ie roundness of the earth - Isaiah 40:22, infinite extent of the sidereal universe Isaiah 55:9, vast number of stars Jeremiah 33:22, paramount importance of blood in life processes Leviticus 17:11, gravitational field Job 26:7 etc. Those that wrote the bible wrote in it as different books, it was later put together as one book. There is a total of 66 books in all and over 30 authours. What is unique is that the themes of all the books seem to be very similar. The message of all the books is that God loves us and even when reading books which reveals wars the fights and mass destruction, the message is still one of a God of love. This piece is not meant to go into the indepths of biblical apologetics but to make a point that we do have to be saved to be fulfilled as a whole human being and also be reconciled with God so that we have perfect peace and harmony in life. These points will suffice for now, to ensure that the bible is true. Having now proved that the bible is a book which is what it says it is, then we go back to the intial point which is: why do I need to be saved. The reason why we need to be saved is as follows:          God wants us to be saved. So that we become one with Him.          It will do us good.          It brings us inner peace.          So that we make it into God's heaven for all eternity. In short, this piece attemts to explain and encourage the reader, not only to be saved but to stay saved. God bless you.
