A = ADMIT |

 |

SIN!
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
We all have sin in our
hearts. We all were born with sin. We were born under the power of
sin's control. God created Adam sinless and he fell to sin.
God sent His ONLY son, who lived a sinless and blameless life to
become sin (or to take sin from) us.
The first step in becoming
a Christian is to realize AND admit that you are a sinner
Admit
that you are a sinner.

DEATH!
"For the wages of sin is death..."
Sin has an natural ending.
It ALWAYS results in death. We will all face physical death, which
is a result of sin. But the worse death is spiritual death
that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity.
The Bible teaches that
there is a place called the Hell where lost people will be in
torment forever. It is the place where people who are spiritually
dead will remain.
Admit
and understand that you deserve death for your sin. |
ROMANS
6:23a |

GIFT OF GOD!
"...But the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Salvation is a free
gift from God to you! You can't earn this gift, but you must
reach out and receive it.
You must ask God to forgive
you and Admit
you need Him to save you.

CHRIST DIED FOR US!
"But God commendeth
his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us!"
When Jesus died on the
cross, He paid sin's penalty in full. He paid the price for
ALL sin fpr ALL time. He bought us out of slavery to sin and
death into life and life more abundant.
There is only ONE
condition--we must believe in Him and what He has done for us.
We must come into a full relationship with Him understanding with
our whole being that He is our life. He did all this because He
loved us and gave Himself for us!
Give your life to God right
now! Believe
in Him as your Savior. God poured out His love into
Jesus and Jesus gave His life on the cross. That is our
only hope to have forgiveness and change. His love bought us out of
being a slave to sin. His love is what saves you and me -- not
religion, or church membership. God loves you! . |

GOD GAVE HIM TO US!
"For God so loved the world,
that He gave His ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life!"
John 3:16 is not a sign
that you see at a baseball or football game--it is the most complete verse
in the entire Bible. But the key here is your belief. Do
you Believe
in Jesus? Trust Him...and get to know Him!

C = CONFESS |
| |
|
| |
CALL ON HIM!
"For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
CALL OUT TO HIM IN THE NAME
OF JESUS! |
ROMANS
10:13
|
| |
|
| |
CONFESS HIS NAME!
"That 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. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation."
Confess
Jesus with your mouth, right now! Say this simple little
prayer:
Father God; I know that I
am a sinner and that I deserve death. I believe, through
faith, that only You can save me and that without you, I stand
condemned. I confess that You are my Lord and my Savior.
I open the door to my heart and let You in. Take my entire
life and make it Yours! In Jesus name, Amen!

step on the best journey you will ever take. While the
conditions you are in right now MAY NOT change immediately, you have
just been transformed. You don't have to let your conditions
change you any more--you can change your conditions through your new
relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you are in our local
area, we would be honored to have you stop by our church for a
visit. If you are NOT in our local area, check out our "Links"
to find a church in your area. Get in church today...find a
church that preaches the Good News...one that is based on the Bible
and not something "other than" or "more than" the Bible. Get a
Bible and read it...if you do not have access to one right now, you
can find one online here.
And talk to God everyday as often as you can. He loves you
very much. He will never leave you or forsake you! You
can talk to Him just like He is sitting right there with you,
because He is!
