For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
- There is one true and living God, evident in his creation, perfectly holy and merciful. He is a God of love who also impartially judges mankind with truth and righteousness.
- There is no one righteous; everyone, including you, has sinned and fallen short of God’s perfect standard.
- The penalty for sin is separation from your creator and eternal conscious punishment in Hell.
- Thankfully, God, in his mercy, has provided a rescue from the penalty of your sins through the death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ.
- Jesus paid the price for your sins by dying in your place on the cross and was then raised from the dead, confirming that he is who he claimed to be.
- If you believe this, call on God in humble prayer, express your repentance and faith, and submit your life to him.
- The good news is that you will be clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. You will be forgiven and saved by God’s mercy from the punishment you deserve. Also, by God’s grace, you will be reconciled to him, no longer his adversary, and at peace with him for eternity in Heaven.
