Let us share with
you how to discover the greatest love worth
finding.
Admit Your Sin
First, you must admit that you are a sinner. The
Bible says, "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).
It is our sin that separates us from God and
from fulfilling our deepest needs and longings.
Sin is an offense against God that carries a
serious penalty. According to Romans 6:23, "The
wages of sin is death [eternal separation from
the love and mercy of God]."
Abandon Your Efforts
Second, you must abandon any efforts to save
yourself. If we could save ourselves, Jesus'
death would have been unnecessary! Even "getting
religion" cannot get you to heaven. The Bible
says it is "not by works of righteousness which
we have done, but according to His [God's] mercy
He saved us" (Titus 3:5). Salvation is by God's
grace, "not of works, lest any man should boast"
(Ephesians 2:8-9).
Acknowledge Christ's Payment
What you cannot do for yourself, Jesus Christ
has done for you! "But God commendeth His love
toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He died on the
cross for you and then rose from the dead to
prove that His payment was acceptable to God.
But you must acknowledge and believe this fact.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).
Accept Christ as Your Savior
Salvation is God's gift to you. "The gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
(Romans 6:23). When someone offers you a
priceless gift, the wisest thing you can do is
accept it! This very moment, you can receive
Christ's gift of salvation by sincerely praying
this simple prayer from your heart:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I know
that You love me and want to save me. Jesus, I
believe You are the Son of God, who died on the
cross to pay for my sins. I believe God raised
You from the dead. I now turn from my sin and,
by faith, receive You as my personal Lord and
Savior. Come into my heart, forgive my sins, and
save me, Lord Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.
Friend, if you have not yet made a decision for
Christ, I urge you to receive Him today. You'll
be eternally glad to know salvation through
Jesus Christ!
If you have accepted Christ as your personal
savior,
