We are sinners
"There is none righteous, no not one." - "For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:10, 22
We are condemned to death because of our sin
"For the wages of sin is death." - Romans 6:23 "Sin, bringeth forth death." - James 1:15
The Bible is clear; we are destined to be separated from God forever and spend an eternity in Hell because of our inborn sin nature, but there is good news.
God loves us
"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." - John 3:16
Jesus came to die as our substitute
"He hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." - 2 Corinthians 5:21
"Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." - 1 Peter 2:24
Jesus had to die for us to be forgiven
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood." - Leviticus 17:11
"Without the shedding of blood there is no remission." - Hebrews 9:22
God's simple plan of salvation
"And they said, 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
It's hard to believe but It really is that simple...Call upon God in prayer and ask forgiveness for your sins and ask His son Jesus Christ to come into your heart. God has a plan for each of our lives to serve Him and to have a relationship with Him.
