               How to Receive God's Huge Gift

 

(1) TRUST Jesus' Death Saves You  “People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.”  Romans 3:25

 

  1. "Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”  Galatians 2:16

 

(2) TURN from Your Sins  Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.”  Acts 3:19 

 

(3) COMMIT to Live to Follow & Serve Jesus  “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.”  Mark 8:35

 

(4) TELL God  “I rely only on what Jesus has done on the cross rather than on my good works to save me. I repent and will live to follow and serve Jesus. Thank you for your adoption, help, forgiveness, and heaven”. Reread the above passages to see what has now changed!
