Why does a person need to be saved?
Romans 5:18 - Through one man's sin judgment came to all men resulting in condemnation.

The only way to be free from this condemnation is to confess your sins and admit you need to be saved.
1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Salvation
It's true, if you don't receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, you will spend eternity in hell.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The good news is we can spend eternity in heaven by confessing that Jesus is Lord and by believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead.
Romans 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
If your desire is to be saved, please pray this prayer - "Heavenly Father, I confess, I am a sinner and I need Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life.  I believe He died on the cross for me and rose up out of the tomb on the third day and that He's coming back for me.  I receive Him in my heart and receive His forgiveness.  Help me God to live my life for You from this day forward.  Amen."

Maybe you have been down this road before or this is your first time.  Regardless, know that God has forgiven you and desires for you to continue on in Him.  These next steps are important and you need to follow them.
