GOD'S FREE GIFT
ALL ARE SINNERS
The Bible says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) Sin's penalty is death and eternal separation from God in hell. "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
JESUS DIED FOR SINNERS
It was no accident, Jesus died for you. God loves you. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
GOD'S FREE GIFT TO SINNERS
God offers salvation and forgiveness freely to all. "...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b) A gift must be received before it's yours.
HOW DO WE RECEIVE GOD'S GIFT?
God's gift of eternal life is easier to receive than most people think. The Bible tells us that it's not through any works or good deeds that we can do, but by faith in Jesus Christ and what He already did. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works..." (Ephesians 2:8-9a)
We're also told in the book of Romans that all we need to do is believe (have faith) and ask for this free gift and it will be ours. Jesus Christ will definitely change your life, but you don't have to make all the changes before He will save you. The Bible says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth 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)
Will you stop right now and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and be your Savior? Then you can know for sure your sins are forgiven and you are going to heaven!
"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." (I John 5:13)
