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!
