What the Bible Says About the Gospel

God’s Love for You

The Bible tells us that God created us and loves us deeply. He desires a personal relationship with each of us. 'For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.' (John 3:16)

Our Need for a Savior

Every one of us has sinned and fallen short of God’s perfect standard. Because of our sin, we are separated from God and in need of a Savior. 'For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;' 
(Romans 3:23)

Jesus Is the Answer

God provided the solution through Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again, conquering death. ' But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' (Romans 5:8)

Accepting Jesus

We can receive the gift of eternal life by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. This means accepting Him as our Savior and Lord. '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)

How to Accept Jesus

Accepting Jesus into your heart is a simple but profound step. If you’re ready to invite Him into your life, pray this prayer of faith:
'Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I trust You as my Savior and follow You as Lord. Amen.'
