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 no one righteous; everyone, including you, has sinned and fallen short of God’s perfect standard.
• The penalty for sin is separation from our creator and eternal conscious punishment in Hell.
• But 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, then repent (a profound change of mind and heart, turning from sin and self-centeredness toward God) and place your faith in Jesus Christ.
• The good news is that you will be forgiven and saved by God’s mercy from the punishment you deserve. By the grace of God, you will also be adopted into his family to spend eternity with him in Heaven.
• Call on God in prayer, express your repentance and faith, and submit your life to him.
• Believe in the Son, and you will have eternal life. By faith, you are declared righteous and will have peace with God.
