Why Jesus?
The penalty for sin is eternal separation from God,
therefore, to be saved the people of the world need Jesus.
"Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
1 Corinthians 15: 1-4
"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
"For by grace are you have been saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9
Dear Lord,
I've sinned against You and deserve condemnation.
I believe that Jesus died for my sins and offers me His forgiveness.
I accept the gift of eternal life by faith.
I know I don't deserve it and cannot earn it.
Thank you, dear Lord, for this eternal gift.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
