Road to salvation
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God "
What is sin: Sin is anything we think or do that falls short of God's standard of perfection.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death"
What is the penalty: It's easiest to see sin as committing a crime against God. The penalty for which is death and then the judgement.
Remember a just God must punish sin. It would not be justice to let a criminal go unpunished.
Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Who pays the price: You do! but there is an alternative- Jesus' death paid for the price of our sins.
Jesus'resurrection proves
that God accepted Jesus' death as the payment for our sins.
Romans 10:9
"if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
How can I be saved from the penalty of my sin: Because of Jesus' death on our behalf,
(He paid the price for our sin, He took our punishment )
All we have to do is believe in
Him, repent for your sins and trust in His death as the payment for those sins - and you will be
saved!
Now remember salvation is not a one way street. Jesus gave His life for your salvation, You have been bought with a price,
You are no longer your own. You have entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ
The only way to have a solid relationship with someone is to talk to each other.
Prayer is conversation between you and God. So start praying regularly and read your Bible.
