Our Father Saves
A random video of clips showing fathers with ninja like reflexes saving their children from falling off couches, tumbling down stairs, and even near misses with vehicles, cranes and sand slides popped up on my phone today. I was mesmerized by the speed at which these incidents took place, yet the the fathers' were right there again and again keeping disaster at bay.
These scenarios of fathers' saving and protecting their young are examples of how our Heavenly Father God cares for us. The book of Matthew of the Holy Bible in chapter 7 verses 9-11 notes the following about God as our Father, "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
God saves us not only from the trials and tribulations of daily life on earth, but also, if we ask Him to be our God and to forgive us of our sins He will also save us from eternal life in hell because our soul will never die so we will live on either in heaven or in hell. Because God is a loving father he doesn't force us to choose Him, but our choice decides where our immortal bodies will reside. We don't need any special rituals or people to intervene on our behalf to live out eternity in heaven. We can say something as simple as this:
Heavenly Father God, I know I am a sinner and I deserve the consequences of my sin. I ask that You will save me from eternal death through my belief in Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for my sins. I believe that Jesus Christ's death and resurrection [overcoming death and rising three days later] provided for my forgiveness. I trust Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me and allowing me to join You as a child of the Most High God. Thank you that one day I will spend eternity with You my Almighty Father in heaven. Amen!
If you said this prayer and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is now your Lord and in faith plan to follow Him the rest of your days, you are saved for eternity. Get into a Bible believing church to help you learn more about being a Christian and read the Holy Bible ( I like the NIV-New International Version-try an online version of the Holy Bible: https://www.biblegateway.com) to learn more about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But don't wait to pray this salvation prayer, as these videos indicate, death can happen when we least expect it.

Psalm 68:20
Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.
