First we must realize that we are all sinners.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Second we must acknowledge the penalty for sin.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Third we must accept the greatest gift ever given to anyone.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
have everlasting life.
Forth we must believe that God raised Jesus from the dead.
Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"
and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved.
Fifth we must ask Jesus to come into our lives and save us from
our sins.
Romans 10:13 For "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved."
It really is that simple. God gave you a gift. The gift of
salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. If you accept the gift,
you have eternal life in the presence of God. You don't have
to do anything else but believe what God's word says and accept
the gift he has already given.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the
gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
