NEW LIFE FOR YOU

1. Fact of Sin

"All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

" There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks after God." Romans 3:10,11


2. Condition of the Sinful

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but it's end is the way of death." Proverbs 16:25

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9


3. Penalty of Sin

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Romans 5:12

"The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23


4. Penalty Paid by Christ

"God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that , while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21


5. One must receive Christ

"As many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12,13

" Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13


6. Assurance of Salvation

"And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:11-13


Life Begins With A Birth

Physical life begins with a birth, and spiritual life likewise begins with a birth. We become members of the human family by birth, and we become members of the family of God by birth--by being born again. There is no other way into the human family except by birth; and there is no other way into God's family except by the new birth. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 " You must be born again." John 3:7.

You can be born again! Simply, "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ" Acts 16:31. "Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." 1 John 5:1. You are born again by trusting a person. The very moment you trust the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Savior, He comes in and eternal life begins.

Just believe! To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ means more than believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. " You believe that there is one God; you do well; even the demons believe, and tremble." James 2:19. But they are not born again. The belief which accompanies salvation must be with the heart. "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness." Romans 10:10. To believe on Christ and receive Him means to rely on Him alone. It is not Christ and the Church, or Christ and baptism, or Christ and my faith. It is not Christ and anything else. We are to depend on Him and simply receive Him.


Come To Him

"Lord Jesus, I am sinful, but I just come. Please cleanse me from my sins, by your precious blood. I just open up to you. I am trusting you right now to receive me and to come into me. I believe your word. I thank you for new life.

"And the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out." John 6:37
