1.REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE SINNED AGAINST A HOLY GOD.

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”  (Romans 3:23)  The Bible tells us we have all done wrong and have disobeyed Him.  Some may have sinned more than others, but we are all sinners who have sinned against a holy God. Our sins have separated us from God. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”  (Romans 3:10)

2.REALIZE THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH AND HELL.

“For the wages of sin is death;”  (Romans 6:23a)  “The soul that sinneth it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:20)  Because of our sin we have to go to a place called hell.  God cannot allow sin into heaven, and because we have sin in our heart there is no deed we can do to deserve heaven.  The Bible tells us we are “condemned already.” (John 3:18)

3.REALIZE THAT CHRIST PAID THE DEBT FOR YOUR SIN.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  (Romans 5:8) God loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for your sins.  Jesus lived the perfect life, then became the sacrifice for our sins.  The sins we have committed put Him on that cross. He died and rose again three days later as the payment for our sins.

4.REALIZE YOU MUST TRUST JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS.

“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.” (Romans 10:9) Church cannot save you, religious deeds cannot save you, and doing good deeds cannot save you. The only way you can be saved is by believing that Jesus died for your sins and trust Him to save you.  It is a gift from God.

Through prayer, you can ask Jesus to be your personal Saviour right now. Ask Him today!

Pray and Believe Like This:  “Dear God, I know that I am a sinner, and I deserve to go to hell, but I believe Jesus died on the cross and paid for my sins. I ask you now, Jesus, to come into my heart, and save me, and take me to heaven when I die.  Amen.”
