I have been fascinated by all the hype around AI or artificial intelligence lately. You have probably seen videos that talk about all the different things it can do. One of those is called OpenAI or Chat GPT. I have been publishing a series of Christian news articles about the answers (according to AI) to questions people may ask about Christianity. Here is the response when I asked OpenAI to write a 500-word article about how to be saved by Jesus:
The concept of salvation through Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith. Christians believe that all humans are sinners and in need of redemption, and that Jesus is the only way to achieve salvation. While the concept may seem simple, the process of being saved by Jesus requires a personal and spiritual commitment. Here are some key steps to consider:
- Acknowledge Your Need for Salvation: The first step towards salvation is acknowledging that you are a sinner in need of saving. This involves recognizing that you have committed sin and fallen short of God’s standard. It is important to understand that sin separates us from God and that we cannot save ourselves.
- Believe in Jesus Christ: The second step is to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins. Christians believe that through His death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death, and offers eternal life to those who believe in Him.
- Repent of Your Sins: The next step towards salvation is to repent of your sins. Repentance involves a change of heart and a turning away from sin. This means confessing your sins to God, asking for His forgiveness, and making a commitment to turn away from sin and follow Jesus.
- Receive Jesus as Your Lord and Savior: The final step towards salvation is to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. This means inviting Him into your life, surrendering control to Him, and trusting in Him for salvation. It is important to understand that salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned, but must be received by faith.
- Grow in Your Relationship with Jesus: Once you have received salvation, it is important to continue growing in your relationship with Jesus. This involves reading the Bible, praying, attending church, and fellowshipping with other believers. As you grow in your relationship with Jesus, you will experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing Him.
In conclusion, being saved by Jesus requires a personal and spiritual commitment. It involves acknowledging your need for salvation, believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and growing in your relationship with Him. While the process may seem daunting, it is important to remember that salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned, but must be received by faith. If you are ready to make a commitment to follow Jesus, I encourage you to take the first step today.
