Recognizing our sinful nature and the need for forgiveness and turning away from sin with a genuine desire to change.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
Gospel means “good news”, the good news is that Jesus came to make forgiveness and salvation possible. He died on the cross as the complete sacrifice for our sins. He took on Himself the judgment that we deserve.
“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
God in His grace offers us the gift of eternal life. But like any gift, it becomes ours ONLY when we respond and receive it.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Jesus became the only perfect Man, and as such, He was uniquely qualified to put into action God’s plan of salvation for mankind. On the cross, Jesus took the punishment for our sin. He was our Substitute. He suffered the judgment and condemnation of death that our sinful nature and deeds deserve.
“because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
“Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned against You.
I turn from my sin right now.
I believe that You died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins.
I receive You as the Lord and Savior of my life. I give my life to You.
In Jesus’ name, amen.”
