Inviting Jesus to Be Your Lord and Savior

 

God is waiting to help us – but we must ask for His help

    • There are several key elements to get the benefits of his help
      • You need to believe in your heart that God Loves you
        • “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  (John 3:16) 
      • You need to recognize that you are a sinner
        • You were born with a sinful nature, and everyone has sinned
      • The penalty for sin is death – your soul will will not move up in heaven
        • ‘The wage of sin is death”
      • Jesus died for you, he paid the price so you could have everlasting life
      • If you are willing accept him as your Lord and Savior he will save you.
