YOU NEED TO BE SAVED
“Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” — John 3:3
“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one:” — Romans 3:10
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” — Romans 3:23
The penalty for sin is eternal death…
“For the wages (payment) of sin is death;…” — Romans 6:23
This death is eternal separation from God.
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.” — Rev. 20:14
You cannot save yourself…
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us…” — Titus 3:5
“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 should boast.” — Ephes. 2:8-9
JESUS HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU SALVATION
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
“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.”
— John 3:16
You must once and for all accept Jesus Christ for salvation…
“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.” — John 3:18
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” — John 1:12
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13
INVITATION
I invite you to pray a prayer like this from your heart, if you realize and
acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of salvation:
Dear Lord,
I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you died on the cross and shed your blood as the payment for my sins. I now repent and ask you to please
forgive me of my sins. I here and now accept You as my personal savior.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
— Amen
