GOD’S WORD TELLS UD THAT MAN’S CONDITION IS SINFUL
God’s Word tells us that all men are sinful. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). So all of us in sinful.
THIS MEANS YOU AND I ARE SINNERS, TOO!
THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR SIN IS DEATH
We are also told that since we are sinners the wage or consequence of our sin is death. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23). Notice death is guaranteed but eternal life comes through Jesus Christ.
THERE IS A TIME OF JUDGEMENT FOR OUR SIN
Hebrews 9:27 tells us “And as it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment.”
THIS JUDGMENT CONDEMNS US TO A TERRIBLE ETERNITY
Everyman’s works outside of Christ is considered useless for salvation.
“And I saw the dead small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
GOOD WORKS CANNOT GET US INTO HEAVEN. IT IS FAITH IN THE PERSON OF CHRIST, NOT OUR GOOD WORKS OR RELIGIOUS RITES OR AFFILIATIONS, THAT SAVE US FROM THIS TERRIBLE ETERNITY.
Ephesians 2:8, 9 tells us. . . “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man boast.”
THERE IS GOOD NEWS FOR YOU AND ME!!!
God has made a way for you and me even though we are sinners and deserve eternal punishment. He does not want us to perish.
I Peter 3:9 “God is not slack concerning is promise as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to usward not willing that any should perish but that all may come to repentance.”
GOD LOVED US SO MUCH THAT HE MADE A PLAN TO FULFILL HIS HOLY DEMANDS THAT SIN BE PAID FOR AND SAVE MANKIND FROM HELL
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.”
CHRIST DIED IN OUR PLACE FOR US. THEN, HE CONQUERED DEATH AND ROSE FROM THE GRAVE
I Corinthians 15:3, 4 “… For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.”
HOW DO I GET GOD’S PROVISION SO I CAN BE FORGIVEN OF MY SIND AND BE SAVED FROM HELL AND HAVE HEAVEN AS MY ETERNAL HOME?
Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9,19 “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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
YOU CAN KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAVED
I John 5:11, 12 “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
REALIZE YOU ARE A SINNER AND NEED SALVATION, BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART, TRUST JESUS ALONE TO SAVE YOU
I SUGGEST YOU ASK BY PRAYING TO HIM NOW.
SUGGESTED PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I know I am a sinner. I believe Christ died for my sins and then rose from the grave. I ask forgiveness for my sins and ask you to save me from hell and give me eternal life. I believe you are the savior and I now am counting on you and you alone to save me. I am not counting on good works or religious rites I have performed to save me but you as my savior. I pray this now in Jesus name. Amen.
If you meant that remember the promise of God in I John 5:11, 12 …And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son( Jesus). He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things I have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that ye may know you have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
