God
offers to everyone of us the free
gift of salvation and eternal
life thru Jesus Christ, His
only begotten Son.
Do you know for sure that Jesus
Christ is your personal Savior
and that you're on your way to
Heaven?
The Bible tells us in I John
5:13,“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...” The simple truth is
God wants you to know where
you're going! So, here it is in a
nutshell:
• First, you must understand
your need for a personal Saviour.
The Bible is very clear that we
all have a huge problem called
sin. Romans 3:23 says it this
way, “For all have sinned
and come short of the glory of
God.” This verse simply
means that none of us are
perfect. Are you willing to admit
that?

• 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:
Lord
Jesus, I believe that You are
God, that You died for my sin,
and that You rose again from
the dead. I know that I am a
sinner, and I ask You now to
be my personal Saviour. I'm
placing my full trust in You
alone, and I now accept Your
gift of eternal life. Thank
you for keeping Your promise!
Amen.
