For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans
3:23).
No
one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. No matter
how much good we do, we still fall short.
For
the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
Just
as there are wages for good, there is punishment for wrong.
The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.
Wherefore
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin,
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans
5:12).
We
have been born with a sin nature, which passed down from Adam
to every generation.
But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
Christ's
great love for us was shown when He died on the cross to pay
our sin debt
But
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
(Romans 6:23). For whosoever shall call upon the name of
the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).
Everlasting
life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely
to those who call upon Him by faith.
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. (Romans
10:9-10)
Let
us help you word a prayer. (Realize it's not mere words that
save, but your faith in Jesus Christ.)
"Dear
Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. Please forgive me for my sins. Jesus,
come into my heart and save my soul from Hell. I'm trusting
you, and you alone, to take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you
for saving me, Jesus. Amen."

you made a decision to trust Christ as Savior after reading
this, we would like to know that we might pray for you and send
