You are a sinner.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God." -- Romans 3:23
God loves us, even though we are
sinners.
"But God demonstrates His Love for us, in this:
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -- Romans 5:8
The provision - God's Gift.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of
God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -- Romans 6:23
"For it is by the grace you have been saved,
through faith - and this not from yourselves, it
is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." -- Ephesians 2:8-9
There must be repentance of sin (turning away
from sin).
"Repent and believe the Good News!" -- Mark
1:15
The required action - believe and
confess.
"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is
Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised
him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For it is
with your heart that you believe and are
justified, and it is with your mouth that you
confess and are saved." -- Romans 10:9-10
The result - Salvation.
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL
BE SAVED." -- Romans 10:13
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is
no other name under heaven given to men by which
we must be saved." -- Acts 4:12
What Do I Do Next?
Now that you've accepted Christ as your own
personal Savior, you need to...
BE ASSURED OF YOUR SALVATION

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 5:13
BE BAPTIZED
"Repent and be baptized every one of you." --
Acts 2:38 (It is not meant as an option, it is a
command).

thankful."
