Our sin separated us from God and made it impossible
for us to go to Him on our own. |
No one is perfect - We have all sinned-Recognize Your Condition
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. We want to think that we are good enough, but since Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin has been the natural condition of mankind. We must not let our pride get in our way, refusing to admit that we are sinners. -Realize the Penalty for Sin "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23) We understand that word, for we receive wages when we work. Wages are what we earn, and we would say it is what we deserve. Sinful men and women, separated from God, cannot go to God on their own. And without God, all we have left are those wages. Just as there are wages for doing good, there are wages for doing wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal separation from God in a place called Hell. It is called our "wages." It is a true that we are all born sinners, but there is hope in Jesus Christ alone. Nothing can provide us eternal life except to find safety in the plan of God, by His grace, and through placing our trust and faith in His gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ. |
Our own good or efforts are of
|
Religion, good works, or any other human act or good
deed cannot bridge the gap created by our sin. We see ourselves as "good", but we still fall short. |
Because of the sacrifice of Christ,
we can "come unto God by him." |
Jesus is the only Way to eternal life-Believe that Jesus loves you!
Our sin separated us from God. We could not get to God on our own. That is why Jesus came. He came, without sin, to die for the rest of creation. 1 Peter 3:18 says, "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" God loved the whole world, not just certain people, but everyone. That includes YOU! John 3:16 explains “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.” Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, He became the payment for our sin. We could not pay for our own sins even if we wanted to do so, but Jesus came for us. Because of his grace, salvation is available. Today, you can "come unto God" through Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 7:25) "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." |
You can come to Jesus and spend eternity with Him in Heaven!-Believe Christ Died for You
You will not be rejected, just trust God at His Word. -Realize that you cannot do this on your own "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) When Jesus died, it confirmed and and made conspicuous that love. Christ died on the cross to pay our debt. -Trust Christ Alone as Your Savior "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. " (Romans 6:23) "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13) Everlasting life is a gift made available by Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. This gift is offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith. To know for sure that your sin is forgiven and that Heaven is your home, you must call on Jesus and believe with your heart that He is the risen Savior. Words alone are not enough to save; you must, by faith, believe with your heart. And Jesus, according to His promises, will give you eternal life. Trust Christ today! |
