Behold, now is the... time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2)
Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near. (Isaiah 55:6)
Your part:
Believe: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. (Acts 16:31)
Repent (turn from your sins): Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. (Luke 13:3)
Confess your sin to Jesus: For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (I Timothy 2:5)
