Salvation

Do You Know Jesus Personally?

At Mineola Baptist Church, we believe the most important decision you can make in this life is to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Salvation is not about religion or being “good enough.” It’s about receiving the free gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus.

God Loves You

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8 (NKJV)

No matter your past or where you’ve been, God’s love reaches you right where you are. He created you with purpose and wants a relationship with you.

We’ve All Sinned

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23 (NKJV)

Every one of us has sinned—we’ve missed the mark of God's holiness. And the result of sin is separation from God.

Sin Has a Cost

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23 (NKJV)

The penalty for sin is spiritual death—eternal separation from God. But the good news is, Jesus paid that price for you.

Jesus Paid It All

“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
— Romans 10:13 (NKJV)

Jesus died on the cross and rose again so that we could be forgiven and made new. Salvation is not earned—it’s a gift. And it’s available to anyone who believes and receives it by faith.

How Can I Be Saved?

It’s simple. You don’t need to have all the answers—you just need to come to Jesus in faith.

  1. Admit you are a sinner.

  2. Believe Jesus died for your sins and rose again.

  3. Confess Him as Lord and Savior of your life.

“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.”
— Romans 10:9 (NKJV)

Pray to Receive Jesus

If you’re ready to give your life to Jesus, you can pray a simple prayer of faith. It’s not about the exact words—it’s about the sincerity of your heart. Here’s a prayer to help guide you:

“Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. I repent and turn away from my old life. Jesus, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I surrender my life to You. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

When you pray this prayer and mean it from your heart, the Bible says you are saved, you have been made new in Christ!
