“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6

3. SIN’S PENALTY WAS PAID
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

4. WE MUST REPENT
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” 2 Corinthians 7:10
“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.” Isaiah 55:7
If we are truly sorry for our sins and willing to turn from our ways, we can be saved.

5. WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST
“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:” John 1:12
We need to exercise our faith by receiving Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. Faith and repentance are both necessary for salvation.

6. YOU CAN BE SAVED TODAY, IF YOU WANT TO BE
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO EXPERIENCE PEACE AND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH HIM. I hope you noticed the caption on the front that reads “God’s Message to You.” Scripture is God’s Word – His message to us – and not our “theory.” We pray that after reading these six thoughts from God’s Word that you believe the message God has given us. He gives free pardon of sin, and a “know-so” salvation. You don’t have to hope that God will save you, or hope that someday you will go to Heaven. The Bible says in 1 John 5:13 “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
Once you receive Christ nothing can take away your salvation, because it is a free gift from God “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 Do you know where you’re going when you die?
WHAT YOU MUST DO:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2. Be willing to turn from your sin (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus to come in and control your heart and life (receive Him as Saviour and Lord).
SUGGESTED PRAYER: “Dear Heavenly Father, I know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for my sin. I am willing to turn from my way and I now ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour. Please save my soul and I know it is only through the blood of Christ I can be saved. I am willing, by God’s grace, to follow and obey Christ as the Lord of my heart and life, and I accept him as my personal Lord and savior.” If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour after reading this tract, please write and let us know.
