God's Gift To You

Over 2,000 years ago a man was tried and convicted of a crime He did not commit.  He then was sentenced to die on a cross for that crime.  The crime was our sin, and the man was Jesus Christ.  He gave himself freely so that we may have the opportunity to spend Eternity in Heaven.

What is this free gift?  It is salvation.  God paid a dear price to offer this gift to us, His Only Begotten Son, and it is free to all who will accept it.

God's Simple Plan of Salvation

1.  Recognize Your Inability to Save Yourself    We are not able to work ourselves into heaven.  It is not sufficient that we are a "good  person".  "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind,  have taken us away" (Isaiah 64:6) "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)
2.  Repent  Turn Around.  Ask God for forgiveness.  "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke
13:3)
3.  Receive Him  You need the Savior.  Accept Him.  "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)
4.  Be "Born Again"  This is what God does for you.  This is the New Birth - a miracle of spiritual life performed by the Holy Spirit.  "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:13)  "Jesus said unto her, 'I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John  11:25)
5.  Rejoice Publicly  Make your testimony for Christ, "that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth for 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)  "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.  But  whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32-33)
