ETERNAL LIFE, IT'S PROMISE FOR YOU AND ME!




SALVATION means to be rescued from sin and its punishment and set free to know, love and 
serve God.
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin...if the Son sets you free, 
you will be free indeed." (John 8:34,36)

ALL PEOPLE have turned away from God and broken the law of God. The Bible calls this sin.
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"  (Romans 3:23)

LEFT OUR SELVES, there is no rescue, and the justice of God requires our eternal 
damnation in the terrors of hell.
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, 
for God's wrath remains on him."   (John 3:36)

VICTORY over sin was obtained when God sent His Son Jesus to earth. Jesus obeyed God's 
laws perfectly, yet He died to pay for the sins of all who believe.
"This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice 
for our sins." (1 John 4:10)

ADMITTING that our sin has put us in a desperate situation is the first step in our rescue.
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our 
sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins."  (1 John 1:8,9)

TAKING the free gift of Jesus' payment for our sin makes us "not guilty" in God's sight.
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  
(Romans 6:23)

IN GRATITUDE for such love, we follow Him in obedience and sacrificial service.
"Therefore, I urge you, in view of God's mercy, to offer you bodies as living sacrifices, holy 
and pleasing to God"  (Romans 12:1)

ONLY JESUS has provided the way to salvation.
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which 
we must be saved."   (Acts 4:12)

NOW is the time to make your decision.
"Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation"  (2 Corinthians 6:2)



HOW DO WE RECEIVE IT?


Salvation is a free gift, pure and simple.  God gives us salvation on the basis of what Jesus Christ 
has done for us and welcomes us into the kingdom. We receive it by believing.

If you are ready to accept this gift, please pray this prayer:

	"Jesus, I believe that You are the Holy Son of God. I believe that 
         You died on the cross for my sins and that You rose from the dead.  
         You are my salvation.  Please wash all my sins away and make me a 
         child of God.  I open my heart to You, Jesus, and I accept You to 
         be the Lord and Savior of my life.  I give my life to You today, 
         Amen."
