To know Jesus as our Savior we have to know the good news of the gospel.

The good news:
Moses recovering from malaria and typhoid.
Thank God he lived.
Staying in the book of Romans we read in 5:8, But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus died on the cross for you and I. He took on Himself our sins and paid the penalty for our sins. If you were dying of malaria and I took that malaria in my body where you were free from it that would be good news for you and your family.   That is what Jesus did for us. He took away our sins and the punishment so that we could be saved and know God. It certainly shows God’s love.
By the way when I lived in Liberia I suffered from malaria. If I did suffer again as an old man it would be too bad.

Ephesians 2:8, 9 tell us more of the good news. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” We have to trust in Jesus to save us from sin and its wage of death. We cannot do it ourselves. When we die we are helpless we can’t move. Only God can take us to heaven. The shell is left to this earth until the time God raises and gives it life. Until then our soul and spirit go to heaven. 

We express that trust in the Savior by prayer. Romans 10:13 says, “For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Call on God to save you and He will. Now you can begin you walk with God.
