WANNA MAKE HEAVEN YOUR HOME?

​

 

1. God loves you and has a plan for you!

The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”—a complete life full of purpose John 10:10. --But here is the problem:

​

2. We Are A People That Sin – Sinners

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans 3:23

​

3. There Is A Penalty For Sin

- The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God

 

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans 6:23

​

4. God’s Love For Us

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

 

5. There Is A Pardon For Sin – Jesus

God sent His Son Jesus to die for your sins.

 

“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8

 

But it did not end with His death on the cross. He rose again and still lives!

 

“Christ died for our sins. … He was buried. … He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

 

Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me” John 14:6

​

 

6. Jesus Wants To Save You – Today

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

 

“For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Romans 10:10

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved.”

Romans 10:13

​

We cannot earn salvation; we are saved by God’s grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. All you must do is believe you are a sinner, that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. Then turn from your sins—that is called repentance. Jesus Christ knows you and loves you.

​

Would you be willing to sincerely pray a prayer like this, in your own words, from your heart right now? (Realize it is not a certain prayer that saves, but your faith in Jesus Christ).

​

Pray like this: “Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I am sorry. I need a Savior. I know I cannot save myself. I believe by faith that Jesus, your Son, died on the cross to be my Savior. I believe He arose from the grave to live as my Lord. I turn from my sin. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to forgive my sin and come into my heart. I trust you as my Savior and receive you as my Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me.”

​

When anyone calls on the Lord in this manner, that one is saved according to God’s Word. If you prayed a prayer of repentance and faith, you are saved. You have God’s word on it.

​

If you have prayed this prayer to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, why not record your decision to follow Jesus as follows. Oftentimes, a good place to write this would be inside the cover of your bible:

​

Believing by faith that God loves me and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sin and arise from the grave to live in me, I, _______, do this day, ________, repent of my sin and accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. According to the promise of God in Romans 10:13, I have called upon His name and have His word for the assurance of my salvation.
