The Four
Things |
What Does
Bible Say |
Explanation
|
|
1. WE HAVE ALL
SINNED |
"For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23)
"As it is
written, there is none righteous, no, not
one." (Romans 3:10) |
We are all
sinners by nature and by choice. We have
broken God's holy laws. No one is perfect. |
|
2. THERE IS A
PUNISHMENT FOR SIN |
"For the wages
of sin is death,..." (Romans 6:23a).
"And death
and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death." (Revelation
20:14) |
The punishment that God requires for sin is
death. There are two deaths mentioned in the
Bible: physical death, and spiritual death.
We must be punished for our sins by being
separated from God forever in the lake of
fire. No good works or religion can save
us. |
|
3. JESUS CHRIST
DIED FOR US |
"But God
commendeth his love to wards us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us." (Romans 5:8)
"...but
the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b) |
The Lord Jesus Christ, God's only Son, came
to earth about two thousand years ago. He
died on the cross for our sins, and He rose
again three days later. He took our
punishment upon Himself so that we might go
to Heaven. The church cannot save us,
neither can religion, goods works, baptism,
communion, or confession. |
|
4. WE CAN BE
SAVED RIGHT NOW |
"He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life,..." (John 3:36)
"for
whosever shall call upon the name of Lord
shall be saved." (Romans 10:13) |
If you will
simply receive God's gift of eternal life by
trusting the Lord Jesus to save you and
calling upon His name, you can know for sure
that you are going to Heaven.
Won't you
trust Jesus today? Bow your head and pray
this simple prayer:
Dear Jesus, I
know I am a guilty sinner, and I know I
deserve to go to Hell for my sins. I trust
you now as my personal Saviour, and call
upon you to save me from Hell and take me to
Heaven. Amen. |
