The 'S of Receiving Christ

    DMIT that YOU are a sinner. Everyone has done things that displease a Holy God. God tells us that no sin can enter heaven. Something must be done to get rid of your sin.
    Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.",
Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it (heaven) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

    ELIEVE that Jesus died on the cross for YOU. God loves you and wants you to become His child. He loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to shed His blood to save YOU from YOUR sins. He took YOUR place on the cross, and suffered the punishment for YOUR sin. Believe that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day.
    1 Peter 2:24 "Who His own self (Jesus) bore our sins in His own body on the tree (cross) that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness."
Colossians 1:14 "In whom we have redemption (salvation) through His (Jesus') blood, even the forgiveness of sins."
Acts 16:31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

    ONFESS your sinfulness to God, and turn from it. Tell God you're sorry for your sins and that you believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Savior from sin. This may be a simple but sincere cry from your heart, or it may be expressed out loud.
    Luke 18:13 "God be merciful to me a sinner."
Romans 10:9 "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans 10:13 "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
    If you believe in Jesus and have placed your faith and trust in Him, you, along with all the others who believe in Jesus, will spend eternity in heaven with Him.
