*: You must be willing to admit that you are a sinner.

*: You need to realize that Jesus, although recognized as the Son of God, was actually God in the flesh.

*: You must ask Jesus to come into your heart.

*: you should realize that the work Jesus did on the cross is a finished work, and that he did all that was necessary to pay the sin debt for all of mankind...Past, present, and future!!

*: You should also understand that no one is worthy of the gift of salvation. Not Moses, nor Elija, Noah, the apostles, you, or me - no-one ! It is a free gift of God to His creation of mankind. He wants all to come to Him, that no one should perish. Salvation is a free gift. There is nothing in the way of works that anyone has ever done or can ever do to deserve the gift of salvation. You simply can not earn it!!!

*: Know this, that the penalty for sin is eternal DEATH (no future, no hope, no joy)!!!

*: You must be born again !! (remember: the Bible tells us so!)--->The following verses are found in the third chapter of St. John:

1: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council.

2: He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

3: In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

4: "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"

5: Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the spirit.

6: Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

7: You should not be surprised at my saying, `You must be born again.'

The order of these things are not what's important. The important thing is for you to understand and act upon them. Don't wait 'til you think you have cleaned up your life enough; it'll never happen. Jesus says to come to him as a child. He will lead you, guide you, pardon you, if you will only trust in Him. What a relief! If you are ready to make a personal decision to follow Jesus as your personal saviour then please follow me in this sinner's prayer:

God, I know I am a sinner and going to Hell without you in my heart. I believe Jesus Christ is your son and that He died on the cross at Calvary to pay the debt for MY sins. I know I can never earn the precious gift of salvation you give so freely. I repent and turn away from my life as a sinner, knowing the flesh is weak and that I will still make mistakes and poor decisions in life, but that you will be there with me, encouraging me, teaching me, every step of the way. I ask Jesus to enter into my heart, life, and soul right now, oh GOD; in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.
