Those who are on the Faithwalk understand these things:
- All of us have sinned in the sight of God. Some sin a little & some sin a lot, but all of us have sinned.
- The Bible says that sin separates us from God, even the little sins.
- Because we are separated from God, we cannot enter His presence in Heaven without first dealing with our sin problem.
- None of us can deal with our sins ourselves.
- Our good deeds cannot erase our sins.
- Our religious involvement (going to church, being nice to people, helping the poor, being baptized or joining the church, etc.) cannot erase our sins.
- We're stuck with our sins and forever separated from God, if it's up to us to erase our sins.
- But God has already solved our problem.
- God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16)
- Yes, Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood as payment for my sin and your sin.
- But it's not automatic. It's like receiving a gift - it's not yours until you accept it.
- Tell God that you know you have sinned and that your sins have separated you from Him.
- Tell God that you believe that Jesus died upon the cross and shed His blood as payment for your sins.
- Tell God that you accept His gift of salvation and that you want Jesus Christ to come into your life as your Lord and Savior.
God promises that all who receive Him (Jesus) will be God's children forever!
