1. GOD KNOWS WHO YOU ARE AND LOVES YOU
Did you know that God loves you? Take a moment to really think about that statement -- God loves you!  Regardless of your race, age, background, past failures, or any other aspect of your life, He deeply cares about you and is personally aware of all that is going on in your life.  In short, God has an incredible love for you and wants more than anything else to have a genuine, personal relationship with you that can last forever.  

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..."


2. SIN HAS SEPARATED YOU FROM GOD
You have a problem; in fact, we all have it.  We have broken God's commands.  The Bible calls this sin.

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” 

Have you ever lied, stolen, or thought a wrong thought?  Each of these actions break a command of God.  Looking honestly into our own hearts reveals the truth -- we have all committed sin.  And sin has devastating consequences -- eternal separation from God, which the Bible refers to as spiritual death.  

Isaiah 59:2, "But your iniquities (sins) have separated between you and your God..."


3. GOOD WORKS CANNOT EARN YOU A HOME IN HEAVEN WITH GOD
No amount of morality or good deeds can bridge the gap to God.  Most people think if they do enough good things in their life it will eventually earn them a home in Heaven with God.  But the Bible says differently.

Proverbs 14:12, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end therof are the ways of death."


4. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW GOD
Jesus Christ is just as much God as God the Father is, yet He came to earth and lived a human life.  Jesus faced all the trials and temptations that we face but never sinned.  He voluntarily died on the cross, having done nothing wrong, there He finished His greatest work -- He paid for your sin.  Three days later, He arose from the dead, proving to all that He truly was God.  

Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth (proved) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."


5. CLAIM GOD’S PROMISE FOR SALVATION
Jesus did the hard part for us. He wants everyone to go to Heaven. Salvation is a gift from God, freely given to all who will come to Him; all we have to do is ask.

Romans 10:9-10, “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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”


6. YOU MUST PLACE YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST
God wants to have a realtionship with you through His Son, Jesus Christ.  He wants to take your sinful heart and transform it permanently.  Today, will you choose to believe in Christ?  Right now you can pray and ask God to forgive you of your sin.  All you need to do is put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, believing He alone can save you.

Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."


MAKE THE DECISION TODAY
Pray from your heart.  It is not the prayer that saves you but your faith and trust in what Jesus did for you on the cross.  

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please forgive me of my sins.  Come into my heart and be my Saviour.  I am trusting You, and only You, to take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me from Hell.  In Jesus name,
— Amen
