1.
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM If we claim to be without sin,
we deceive ourselves and
the truth is not in us.1 John 1:8. The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23. We will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: As I
live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess
to God. So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Romans 14:1042. Whoever puts his faith in the Son has
eternal life,
but whoever rejects
the Son will not see that
life, for God’s
wrath remains on him.
John 3:36. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men. Romans 1:18.

YOU CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM A man is not
justified
by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus
Christ.
If righteousness
could be gained through
the law, Christ died for nothing! Galatians
2:16,21. God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. 5:8. Jesus said: I am the way and the truth and the life. . . no-one comes
to the Father except through me. John 14:6. 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. It is by 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. 3
GOD HAS SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have everlasting
life. For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through
him. John 3:16-17. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his
Son as an atoning sacrifice
for our sins. 1 John 4:10. When the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, he
saved us,
not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
Titus 3:4-5. Christ died for your sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1
Peter 3:18. The gift of God is eternal life
through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23. 4 YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED FOR EVER Jesus said: Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me
has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from
death to life. John 5:24. In Christ we have
redemption
through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins.
Ephesians
1:7. Jesus lives for ever.., therefore he is able to save completely those
who come to God through him, because he always lives to
intercede for
them. Hebrews 7:24-25. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. 2
Corinthians 5:17. He is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his
glorious
presence without fault and with great joy. Jude 24. THEREFORE 1. Turn from sin God commands all people everywhere to
repent. Acts 17:30. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.
Acts 3:19.
2. Trust in Christ Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Acts 16:31. Jesus said: Stop doubting and believe . . . Blessed are those who
have not seen and yet have believed. John 20:27,29. Whoever puts his faith in the Son has eternal life. John 3:36.
3. Acknowledge Christ before men 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. Romans
