Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God."
Sin seperates us from God. Sin is anything we do wrong, say wrong, think wrong, or anything we do not do that we should.
Man's Penalty- Eternal Death
Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The wages which sin pays is spiritual death, eternal seperation from God, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord!
God's Provision- Jesus Christ
Romans 5:8 says "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
God clearly shows His love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ gave His life on the cross.
God's Promise- We will be saved
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 eternal life.
God so greatly loved and prized us that He gave His only Son, Jesus, so that if we trust in or rely on Him we shall not be punished for sin through death but we shall have eternal life.
Romans 10:9-10 says "If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
Believe means to trust in, adhere to, or to rely on Christ. Justified means acceptable to God.
If you want to go to Heaven pray this prayer now!
Lord Jesus, I confess to you that I am a sinner, I believe that you died for my sin, and that God has raised you from the dead. As best I know how, I confess you with my mouth as Lord. Please come into my life, forgive me of all my sins and save my soul. Thank you Jesus for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
