God
offers to everyone of us
the free gift of
salvation and eternal
life thru Jesus
Christ, His only
begotten Son. •
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! If
you've never asked Jesus Christ
to be your personal Saviour, you
could do that right now! With Him
in your heart, life will make a
lot more sense. You could stop
right now and sincerely pray
something like this:

decision. Pastor
