I this were all we knewthat Gods standard isabsolute perection, and yet we all have sinnedhow many would make it to heaven on theirown ability? Obviously, no one.

But wont my good works outweigh mybad works?

Be ye thereore perect, even as yourFather which is in heaven is perect.Matthew 5:48The standard or heaven is God Himsel

perection!

I three people were lined up at the Grand Canyon to

see who could jump across, no doubt some would

jump arther than others. But obviously all would

all short o making it across. The same is true

spiritually.

For all have sinned andcome shorto the glory o God.Romans 3:23

Christ died or our sins.

Is judgment deserved?

For the wages o sin is death.Romans 6:23

Just as you earnwages at a job,

you earn death because o sin.

But even people who go to heaven die physically, so it

must mean more than physical death.

the lake o fre. This is the second death.Revelation 20:14

As physical death is the separation o the soul rom

the body, the second death is eternal separation

rom God in the lake o fre.

Is judgment real?

Jesus called it everlasting fre.Matthew 18:8 And hell fre.Mark 9:47

Is judgment necessary?

. . . a God o truth and without iniquity,just and right is he.Deuteronomy 32:4

Shall not the Judge o all the earth doright?Genesis 18:25

I God overlooked your sin and let you into heavenanyway, would that be justice?

Do I deserve judgment?

. . .and all liars, shall have their part inthe lake which burneth with fre and brimstone:which is the second death.Revelation 21:8

Hard news,I know.But there isbetter news

to come . . .

Gods love provides the solution.

But God commendeth his love toward

us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christdied or us.Romans 5:8

Jesus Christ is God in human form.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child,and shall bring orth a son, and they shallcall his name Emmanuel, which being inter-

preted is, God with us.Matthew 1:23

The message of good newsis that

. . . Christ diedor our sins accordingto the scriptures; And that he was buried, andthathe rose again the third day according tothe scriptures.1 Corinthians 15:34

What did Christ accomplish?

Christ suffered for us.

Who his own sel bare our sins in his

own body on the tree.1 Peter 2:24

Christs payment was in full.

It is fnished.John 19:30

Since Jesus paid it all, is there anything

left for you to pay?

Christ offers His righteousness.

For he hath made him to be sin or us,who knew no sin; that we might be made therighteousness o God in him.II Corinthians 5:21

Your sin wascredited to ChristsothatHis righteousnessmight be creditedto you.

When Christ rose again, He conquered

sin, death, and hell.11

What Believing in Jesus is:Anyone may believe.

Forwhosoevershall call upon the nameo the Lord shall be saved.Romans 10:13

The issue is not the act o prayer, but belie (aith)in the heart.

How then shall they call on him inwhom they have notbelieved?Romans 10:14

The belie is not merelyabout Jesus, but in Jesus.

For God so loved the world, that he gave

his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth inhim should not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:16

Sin is the problemI have sinnedHell is the consequenceI deserve hell

Christ alone is the answer

Christ is my only hope

I MUSTdepend on Christ to save me from sin and hell!

...and so ye believed.

12


13/16

Believing in Jesus is not . . .Merely trusting God to help you in a crisis, although

that may be real; it is trusting Jesus to save you

from sin and hell.

Just asking Jesus to save you; it is trusting Him

to do it.

Trusting in Jesus and something else; it is trustingJesus alone to do all the saving.

Just as straddling ones weight

over two halves of two adjacent

chairs would reveal a mistrust ineither one of the chairs as a single

chair, so a split trust reveals

a mistrust in Christ alone.

Saving faith issimple faith in

Christ alone.

To onlyunderstand and agree alls short at believingabout Jesus. To understand, agree, and depend onJesus as your Savior constitutes believing in Jesus.

This transer o trust is changing your thinkingor repentance.

1Forgiveness of sinsWhosoever believeth in him shall receive

remission [orgiveness] o sins.Acts 10:43

2 Credited RighteousnessBut to him that worketh not, but believeth

on him that justifeth the ungodly, his aith iscounted or righteousness.Romans 4:5

3 Eternal LifeHe that believeth on me [Jesus Christ] hath

everlasting lie.John 6:47

Can you have eternal life just for a little while? No. It isforever! Better yet, in 1 John 1:2 Jesus is called thateternal life. The Christian life is receiving the Life of Christ.

Believing in Christ is the most important decision

you will ever make!

He that believeth on him is not condemned: buthe that believeth not is condemned already, because hehath not believed in the name o the only begotten Son

o God.John 3:1814


15/16

Do you believe that Jesus can and would save

you from sin and hell if you asked Him to?

Since the Lord Jesus Christ is willing tosave you from sin and hell, are you willing

to depend on Him to do so right now?

God says . . .

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold,now is the day of salvation. II Corinthians 6:2b

HEREs HOWSimply tell God you are putting your trustin Him. For example, tell God . . .

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I know I

deserve the judgment of hell. But I also know You

paid my judgment when You died for me and rose

again. The best I know how, Im trusting You to save

me from sin and hell. I am placing my dependence

only on You to forgive my sins, credit Yourrighteousness to my account, and give me eternal

life. Thank You for saving me. Amen.15
