WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? =========================== Acts 16:30 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and thy house. ALL HAVE SINNED Romans 3:23 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Isaiah 64:6 6. But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. ALL MUST REPENT (BE SORRY FOR AND TURN AWAY FROM A LIFE OF SIN) Isaiah 55:7 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Psalms 38:18 18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Acts 3:19 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; SIN HAS A PENALTY Ezekiel 18:20 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Revelation 20:15 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. THE LORD JESUS PAID THE PENALTY ON THE CROSS Isaiah 53:4 4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. SALVATION IS A GIFT Ephesians 2:8 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Titus 3:5 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION (you are not promised tomorrow!) 2 Corinthians 6:2 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.) Hebrews 4:7 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. THE BIBLE SAYS ALL HAVE SINNED: Romans 3 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; SIN HAS A PENALTY: Ezekiel 18 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Luke 13 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. JESUS PAID THE PENALTY: Isaiah 53 4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. YOU MUST RECEIVE THE LORD JESUS: John 1 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Revelation 3 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. SINNERS PRAYER Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I ask You to come into my life to forgive and save me. I now receive You as my Saviour (trusting in You ALONE to save me) and my Lord (making You my Master and comitting my life to You). by A. Yusko and E. Prior The Seed Sowers P.O.
