GOD Wants You To Know That . . .
1. You are a sinner and cannot save yourself.
"For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD." Romans 3:23
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us," Titus 3:5a

2. JESUS CHRIST has already provided the way of salvation.
"For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . 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:" 1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4
"For CHRIST also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that HE might bring us to GOD." 1st.Peter 3:18

3. You must repent (turn to GOD from your sin).
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. . .For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." Romans 10:9-10,13

Acceptance or refusal determines your destiny.
"He that believes on HIM is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten SON of GOD . . . He that believes on the SON has everlasting life: and he that believes not the SON shall not see life; but the wrath of GOD abides on him." John 3:18,36
What Must I Do ?
1. I must know that I am a sinner and cannot save myself.
2. I must realize that I need a SAVIOR.
3. I must believe the Gospel, that JESUS died for me personally.
4. I must turn in faith to CHRIST.
The Bible says that "the goodness of GOD leads us to repentance" Romans 2:4. If you would be willing to turn to GOD in repentance and faith, and receive CHRIST as your personal SAVIOR, pray this simple prayer or one like it:
LORD, I know that I am a sinner; and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me, come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.
Everlasting life begins when we receive CHRIST as our SAVIOR. The LORD JESUS said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears MY WORD, and believes on HIM that sent ME, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 5:24
Your servant in CHRIST,
Julie
