God loves you and wishes to save you

Description

God loves you and wants to save you. You can be saved and reconciled to God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His Son, Who died for your sins on the cross when He was crucified. He can give you eternal life. John 3:16 says: "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." 1. Recognize that you are a guilty sinner (as all of us are - Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23) in the sight of a holy God and are under God's wrath. We have all sinned and need the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ to save us. (Galatians 3:26, John 6:28-29, Ephesians 2:8-9). Sin separates us from God. You cannot save yourself and sin has a penalty: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23 KJV). Additionally, the Bible also says: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15 KJV) 2. God sent His only begotten Son to die for the sins of humanity. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Messiah. Jesus was crucified on the cross and died, was buried, and was raised bodily from the dead (resurrected) three days later. He died for your sins. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Jesus Christ died for YOU. (Romans 5:8) Salvation is a free gift of God. You cannot "earn" your way to heaven by your own merits (Ephesians 2:8-9). Jesus was perfect and DID NOT SIN. He was sent to be the propitiatory sacrifice for the sins of mankind. 3. Believe on Jesus Christ/REPENT toward God - Put your faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Messiah, as your Savior to give you eternal life and to save you from your sins (Mark 16:16, John 6:29, John 6:40, Romans 5:1). Believe that Jesus died on the cross and that God physically raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10)*. Believe that He paid the price for your sins and took the punishment you deserve in your place. His literal blood has the power to cleanse you of sin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Note: After the crucifixion on the cross, Jesus was buried. Three days later God raised Him from the dead (was physically/bodily resurrected). Later on, Jesus then ascended to Heaven and He is now at the right hand of God the Father.
