Dear Friend, May I please have just a few moments of your time to share the wonderful gospel of Jesus Christ our Savior?

We all have a great need. More of a need that we realize. Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. Psalm 39:5 says that man at best state is altogether vanity. Jeremiah 17:9

John also tells us that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Yes, on our own, we are hopeless. Search the scriptures for many other passages that tell us this same thing. Ezekiel 18:4 tells us,

Again we read: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Sin is the transgression of GOD's law.

Ephesians 2:4 is one of the many passages that brings light to mans helpless state. But GOD who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loves us. It is because of Gods love and mercy he sent his son Jesus into the world to pay the price for our sin dept and to be our savior. (John 3:16) In John 10:10 Jesus says that he has come that we might have life abundantly.

Eph. 2:1 Tells us this: you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. What a wonderful gift!

If you have seen this terrible state that we are all born into, and have seen the wonderful gift of life, and have seen the need of having a wonderful savior to walk with us through this life And to be with eternally in heaven, then perhaps you are wondering, How can I obtain this wonderful gift?

Well, Romans 6:23 tells us that its there just by asking for the free gift. Romans 10:13 says that Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How do we call upon the name of the Lord? By the simple prayer of faith.

We must see ourselves as sinners, repent or have a turning form sin to God and ask the Lord to come into our heart and be our savior. Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day that our sins might be covered by his blood. This is what makes it all possible.

When I accepted the Lord and his wonderful free gift, I read an example prayer that someone else had written. It was something like this:

Dear Lord, I realize that I am a sinner, hopeless without you. Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross to pay my sin dept. Right now I invite Jesus into my heart and to be my wonderful Savior.

If you have called upon the Lord believing that Jesus died on the cross for you, Gods grace is certainly sufficient to save to the uttermost. After accepting the Lord we should follow him in baptism which places you in a Bible believing church, study his word, and pray to laern more about him and his gospel.

 

 

Rom 10:8-13

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(KJV)

If we can be of any help to you in these matters please feel free to call us. We will set up an appointment to talk with you again.
