believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved
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. John 3:16
God is holy and cannot look upon
sin.
Man is sinful and separated from
God.
Because God is just, man
deserves to die both physically and spiritually.
Man can never save himself, even
through his good, religious works.
But because God is love, He paid
for mans sin by Jesus death on the cross.
You must repent, by the power of
God, and trust only in Christ to save you.
Salvation is a free gift which can
only be received and never earned.
When you trust in Christ to save
you, God gives assurance of salvation.
If not, it can be by sincerely and
genuinely praying along these lines: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and deserve death and hell because of my sins. But I also know that Your Son died on the cross to pay for my sins. I now repent and trust Jesus Christ alone to save me and accept His work as full payment for my sins. I receive the free gift of eternal life as I receive Him as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for forgiving me and for giving me eternal life. Amen.
