The Gospel Message
We would like to take a moment to share with you how you can be saved and know you are going to Heaven. This is the most important decision you will ever make.
Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see thekingdom of God.”
A-cknowledge … that YOU are a Sinner
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
God tells us that there is a Penalty for our sin
Romans 6:23(a) For the wages of sin is death; …
The “wages” (payment) that we receive for our sin, … is eternal death and separation from God! If we pay the penalty for sin on our own, it will literally take an eternity of suffering in Hell to pay this debt to a holy God!
However, … the Good News is that someone else has offered to pay our penalty for us! We do NOT have to pay the penalty on our own! Instead, we can CHOOSE to accept the payment that Jesus Christ offers us when He shed His blood for our sins! His payment will erase/wipe away ALL of the sin debt that we owe!
B-elieve … that Christ’s Blood WILL save You
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; … but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God LOVES us so much that He made a way for man to restore that relationship/fellowship with Him! That “way” was the suffering and sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ!
John 3:16 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.
If you want eternal life with God in Heaven; you must CHOOSE to accept the sacrifice/payment of Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus Christ paid YOUR debt of sin (and mine)! All we need to do is CHOOSE to accept HIS payment to cover our sins!
C-onfess … that you NEED Christ’s Sacrifice
Romans 10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The final step in salvation is simply that… we must confess that we NEED the sacrifice that He has provided for us in the person of His Only Son… Jesus Christ!
Salvation does NOT come by our works or our religion! Salvation ONLY comes as we yield ourselves to the truth of God’s Word!
Ephesians 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God has made it so plain… and so simple! Then, He begs us to simply CHOOSE Him! CHOOSE to accept HIS payment for your sins!
If not … and you CHOOSE to pay your own way; …
Remember: 2 things:
1) ONE DAY this PHYSICAL LIFE will end!
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
The second you breathe your last breath on this earth; you will immediately begin your eternity! That eternity will either be in Heaven or in Hell; … YOU are the only one that can make the choice for you!
2) ONE DAY your ETERNAL LIFE/DEATH will begin!
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Since Jesus is willing to take you right now, just as you are, and forgive you your sins and come into your heart to save you, would you be willing to bow your head right now, and ask Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life?
- Do you see yourself as a sinner in need of a Savior?
- Do you recognize that you can do nothing to save yourself?
- Do you believe that Jesus shed His blood, giving His life to save you from sin and Hell?
If your answer to each of these questions is yes, then why not pray right now.
Simply pray something like this: “Dear Jesus, I confess I am a sinner deserving death and hell. I believe that the sacrifice You made with Your blood on the cross was the only acceptable payment for my sin. Please come into my heart, and be my Savior. Lead, guide, and direct my steps daily. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”
