Jesus is the only One in the history of the universe Who ever loved you so much as to willfully die in your place. Accepting His sacrificial gift is literally as easy as saying, "Yes." We tend to want to trust our own works or actions to save us from Hell, but nothing we could possibly do could begin to cover the great debt caused by our sin. Fortunately we do not have to cover our sin. Christ did it for us. All we need to do is call on Jesus and accept His gift of salvation.
We have outlined all you need to know right here; so what are you waiting for? Check it out and accept His amazing gift right away!
4 simple steps / 1 loving Saviour.
The Problem…
Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, no not one."
No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. No matter how much good we do, we still fall short. We were born with a sin nature, which was passed down from Adam to every generation.
Romans 5:12 "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:”
The Result...
Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Just as there are wages for good, there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.
The Substitute...
Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Christ demonstrated just how great His love for us was when He gave His life on the cross. He laid down his life to pay our sin debt.
The Acceptance…
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Everlasting life in Heaven is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith. The Bible does not require good works, absolute dedication, or any other payment for Heaven; accepting Christ's finished work on the cross is the only way to Heaven.
While there are certainly no magic words to pray, we know it can be awkward trying to talk to Jesus for the first time. Here's a simple prayer for you to use as an example.
