1. That You Are A Sinner By Birth.
"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." (Psalm 51:5)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
We can all admit that we are not perfect. We have all done wrong things in our lives.
2. Why You Are A Sinner By Birth.
"For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." (I Corinthians 15:21-22)
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." (Romans 5:12)
We were all born as sinners. This is something that we cannot help. It was not our choice. It was made for us by a man named Adam. He was the first man to ever live and he decided to disobey God. Because of his disobedience, he passed a sin nature down to all of us.
3. What The Penalty Of Sin Is.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Because man sinned, he brought corruption upon the earth. Now there is sickness, war, age, and there are even accidents that claim the lives of each and every one of us.
4. What He Did For You.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosover believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
God the Father sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and shed His blood as a sacrifice for our sins. He died once for all, so that all might not die. He provided a way for us to be saved from the penalty of Hell and to live with Him eternally in Heaven.
5. How You Can Be Saved.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
"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)
All you have to do is place your complete faith and trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you believe on Jesus Christ, then you will be saved from the penalty of sin and live eternally with Him in Heaven. To "seal the deal" so to speak, you can pray a simple pray like this one:
Dear Father in Heaven,
I thank you for sending the Lord Jesus to die upon the Cross for me. I repent with sorrow for all my sins, and ask you to forgive me and help me live for You. Please cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I open my heart and by faith I ask You to come into my life. I now accept Christ as my personal Savior!
In Jesus' Name I Pray,
Amen
It is not in the words, but in the heart that you are saved. If you believe this simple plan, and give your heart to Jesus Christ, you will be saved forever.
