From the Book of Romans
Romans 3:23 states the fact of sin.
Romans 5:12 states that your sin came from Adam.
Romans 5:8 states that God loved you while you were a sinner.
Does God love you? Yes.
FACT TWO
Know how God has shown you His love.
 |
John 3:16, "That He gave His only begotten
Son."
What did God give mankind? His Son.
Where did God give His Son? On the Cross.
How did God show His love to you? By giving His Son, Jesus Christ, to die
on the cross for your sins.
|
This is called substitution, that is, Jesus dying in your place. He was
without sin, but He was willing to take your sin upon Himself and die upon the cross.
Isaiah 53:6, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity (sin) of us all."
FACT THREE
Know that God wants you to believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.
 |
John 3:16, "That whosoever believeth in Him."
The whosoever is you.
Believeth in Him means:
1st, Believe that God loves you.
2nd, Believe that God gave His Son on the Cross.
3rd, Believe that God's Son died on the Cross for your sins and rose again.
|
Do you believe these facts?
The Philippian jailer asked, "What must I do to be saved?"
The Apostle Paul answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house." Acts 16:31
FACT FOUR
Know that whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ will not perish but have everlasting
life.
 |
John 3:16, "Should not perish but have everlasting life."
Perish means to be separated from Jesus Christ forever. If you believe in
Jesus you will not perish.
Everlasting life means to be saved and live with Jesus Christ forever. When
you die, your soul and spirit go to be with Jesus in heaven, and the body is placed in the
grave.
|
What kind of life do you receive from God when you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ?
Everlasting life.
John 3:16, "Should not perish but have everlasting life."
FACT FIVE
Know today that you can believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and receive everlasting
life.
 |
John 1:12, "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:"
Today, as you receive Jesus Christ by believing in Him with all your heart, you will be saved.
You then become a member of God's family, as His son.
|
Knowing these 5 Facts, are you ready to express your belief and place your
faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
PRAYER OF ACCEPTANCE
You may now say the salvation prayer from your heart.
"Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I believe that You died for my sins.
Right now, I'm asking You to come into my heart and life and be my own personal Saviour and give
me everlasting life. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen."
Record date and name.
Today ___________________________, 19_______,
I _______________________________________ received Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and
Lord. I base my salvation on God's promise in John 3:16.
This day is called my 'spiritual birthday' because I have become a son of God through faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
"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
HOW TO GO ON WITH CHRIST
The fallen angel, called Satan, has become your number one enemy. He will try to make you
doubt your salvation; cause you to forget to pray; keep you from learning more about the Bible
and cause many other sins to enter your daily life and spoil your testimony.
The way to overcome Satan and other temptation is to develop spiritual
habits.
1. Love Jesus daily with all your heart.
2. Admit your sins to Jesus in doily prayer.
3. Read or hear the Bible read every day and Obey
its teachings.
4. Do your daily responsibilities as though you were doing them for Jesus.
5. Overcome Satan's temptations by asking Jesus to defeat him.
6. Attend the services of a church that loves Jesus and preaches the Word
of God.
