First, you must
understand your need
for a personal
Saviour. The Bible is
very clear that we
all have a huge
problem called sin.
Romans 3:23 says it
this way, “For
all have sinned and
come short of the
glory of God.”
This verse simply
means that none of us
are perfect. Are you
willing to admit
that?
•
The problem is this -
sin has a high price
tag. Romans 6:23a
says, “For the
wages of sin is
death...” In
other words, the
price for sin is
eternal death apart
from God in a place
called Hell - not a
good thing! Because
of our sin, none of
us can make it into
Heaven
alone.
•
Here's the good news
- God sent help! The
rest of Romans 6:23
says, “...but
the gift of God is
eternal life through
Jesus Christ our
Lord.” Again in
Romans 5:8 God says,
“But God
commendeth His love
toward us in that
while we were yet
sinners Christ died
for us!” This
leads us to the
second
step.
•
You must believe that
Jesus Christ wants to
be your Saviour!
Jesus Christ came to
earth as God in the
flesh, lived a
perfect life, and
then voluntarily died
on a cross because He
loves you. On that
cross, He literally
paid for all of your
sins. He took your
blame! He punished
Himself for your
wrong-doings. What a
great
gift!
•
John 3:16 says,
“For God so
loved the world, that
he gave his only
begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth
in him should not
perish, but have
everlasting
life.” God, in
His awesome love,
came to earth to make
a way for you to be
forgiven of your sins
and given eternal
life!
•
Finally, you must
place your full trust
in Jesus Christ as
your personal
Saviour. Romans 10:13
says, “For
whosoever shall call
upon the name of the
Lord shall be
saved.” In verse
ten of that same
chapter God says,
“For with the
heart man believeth
unto righteousness;
and with the mouth
confession is made
unto salvation.”
He says it's as
simple as believing
and receiving! It's
as simple as
asking!
