Admit
|
Admit to God that
you
are a sinner. Repent, turning away from your sin. All
persons
need salvation. Each of us has a problem the Bible calls sin.
Sin
is a refusal to acknowledge God's authority over our lives.
Everyone
who does not live a life of perfect obedience to the Lord is guilty of
sin.
"For all have sinned and falls short of the glory of God" (Romans
3:10-18).
The result of sin is spiritual death (Ezekiel 18:4b). Spiritual
death
means eternal separation from God. By God's perfect standard we
are
guilty of sin and therefore subject to the punishment for sin, which is
separation
from God.

Believe
|
By faith receive
Jesus
Christ as God's Son and accept Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin.
God
loves each of us. God offers us salvation. Although we have
done
nothing to deserve His love and salvation, God wants to save us.
In
the death of Jesus on the cross, God provided salvation for all who
would
repent of their sins and place their faith in Jesus. "For God so
loved
the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him
shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

Confess
|
Confess your
faith
in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Come to Jesus for eternal
salvation.
The desire in your heart to be saved is the Holy Spirit offering
you
the forgiveness of your sin and the free gift of eternal life.
Admit
your sin and ask Jesus to deliver you from the consequences of sin.
Confess
Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you will be saved. "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. For it is with your heart
that
you believed and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you
confess
and are saved" (Romans 10:9-10).
