The Bible teaches that our sin is keeping us from having a relationship with Jesus.
1. We are sinners and are separated from God.
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
2. People through the ages have tried to bridge the gap by doing good works, living moral lives, devising profound philosophies, even being religious but have always failed.
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."
3. There is only one remedy for our problem of sin and separation. God's remedy for sin is Jesus. Christ died for our sins.
Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
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."
John 14:6 - Jesus said unto him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me."
4. You must receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Here's how you can personally receive Christ.
If you are ready to commit your life to Jesus and live for Him the rest of your life, then pray this simple prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner.
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.
As best as I know how, right now I receive you as my Savior and Lord.
Please take control of my life
and help me be the kind of person you want me to be.
Amen."
If you took these steps, you now have a relationship with Christ. We would love to help you take the next steps in your new found faith.
