WHY DO I NEED JESUS?
The Bible says that Jesus is the way, the truth and
the life and NO man comes to the Father but by Him
(see John 14:6). Acts 4:12 states that His name is
the only name under heaven given among men whereby
we must be saved! So you can't be good and get to
heaven! We can't get there by our own righteousness.
WHY CAN'T I GET THERE BY MY OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS?
The Bible clearly states that our righteousness is as
filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) It also states that all
have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God!
(Romans 3:23) So nothing we do can measure up to the
righteousness of God! So we need an atonement for our sins!
What can atone for my sins?
Leviticus 17:11 states that only blood can atone for
our sins. And the sacrifice has to be without blemish.
Therefore, whatever sacrifice is made will have to be
without spot or blemish. So a sacrifice had to be
made. For this reason Jesus was born, crucified and
died. But that is not the end. Death had to be
conquered. So, three days later, he arose from the
dead, conquering death and hell! The sacrifice has
already been provided!
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
In the book of Acts chapter 2 and verse 38, peter told
the men of Israel to repent and be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and
they would receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
He then stated that the gift was to them, their
descendants and to as many as are afar off as the
Lord would call!
If you would like to receive Christ as your Lord and savior, pray this prayer to God.
Dear Lord, I understand that I am a sinner and that the
only way to heaven is through repentance and your
Son, Jesus Christ. I am turning away from my
sinful lifestyle and asking your forgiveness for my
sins through the shed blood of Jesus. Please forgive
me and make me whole. I ask this in Jesus' name,
AMEN.
Welcome to the Family of Christ!"
