Who is Jesus? He is the Way to Heaven
John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Why is it important to know that NO other religious leaders throughout history have ever made these claims? According to Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” How does this contrast with other world religions which are based on “works” versus faith in Jesus and the resurrection? If we can’t build a relationship with God by doing good deeds or repeating rituals, what must we do? Acts 4:12 is clear, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Realize That God Loves You
God loves you and has a plan for your life. John 3:16, "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."
The Bible Says That All Men Are Sinners
Our sins have separated us from God. Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." God made man in His own image. He gave man the ability to choose right from wrong. We choose to sin. Our sins keep us from God.
God's Word Also Says That Sin Must Be Paid For
Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death...." Wages mean payment. The payment of our sin is death and hell, separation from God forever. If we continue in our sin, we shall die without Christ and be without God forever.
The Good News Is That Jesus Christ Paid For Our Sins
All of our sins were laid on Christ on the cross. He paid our sin debt for us. The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, and He arose from the dead. He is alive forevermore. Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
We Must Personally Pray And Receive Christ By Faith
Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." You just simply have to ask Jesus to come into your life, and He will!
Pray And Receive Christ As Your Savior
Why not pray this prayer from your heart... "Lord, I know that I am a sinner. If I died today, I would not go to heaven. Forgive my sin, come into my life and be my Savior. I am trusting your death on Calvary as payment for my sins. I believe that you arose from the dead. I am trusting you and you alone for my salvation. Help me live for you from this day forward. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
