Four Things You Should Know

  1. ALL ARE SINNERS. The Bible says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23). There are no perfect people. The Bible also tells us, "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not." (Ecclesiastes 7:20).
  2. ALL ARE UNDER THE PENALTY OF SIN. "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a). This death is separation from God in hell -- forever. Because we are all sinners, we have all earned the wages of our sin.
  3. JESUS PAID THE PENALTY OF SIN. "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b); and "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8). Jesus' death on the cross paid the debt for our sin. There is nothing that we can do to save ourselves from spending eternity in hell: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
  4. RECEIVE CHRIST AND PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN HIM AND BECOME A CHILD OF GOD. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:12); "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13); and "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)
