The document discusses how to attain eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. It states that good deeds alone are not enough for salvation and that all people are sinners. It then outlines six steps to accept Jesus as savior: 1) admit you are a sinner, 2) understand God provided salvation through Jesus, 3) you cannot save yourself, 4) repent of sins, 5) ask Jesus to save you, and 6) proclaim Jesus before others. Reciting the "Sinner's Prayer" is provided as an example to accept Jesus. The summary concludes that if you choose Jesus you can have confidence in eternal life in heaven.
2. Good Deeds won’t help
• People will not go to Heaven
because of their good deeds, nor to
Hell because of their evil deeds.
• Being a “good” person just isn’t
enough according to Gods perfect
standards.
• If people went to Hell because of
their sins (bad
deeds), everyone would go there.
• We all fall short (even me).
3. Bible teaching
• THE BIBLE says that if you repent of
your sins and receive Jesus Christ
into your life as Lord and Saviour,
you will be saved from eternal
punishment in Hell when you die.
4. Getting saved
• The next few actions will show you
how can you receive eternal life so
that you will be sure to go to be
with God when you die.
• No more than 5 minutes of your time
to change where you land up for
eternity.
5. Step 1: Admit that you
are a sinner.
• The Bible says, “For all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
• i.e. Admit you have and do “bad
deeds/Sin” – even 1 and you fall into
this category.
6. Step 2: Know that God has
already provided for your
salvation.
• “For God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son [Jesus
Christ] that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish but have
everlasting life” (John 3:16).
7. Step 3: Know that you
cannot save yourself.
• “Not by works of righteousness
which we have done but according
to his mercy he saved us” (Titus
3:5).
8. Step 4: Repent of your
sins.
• Except ye repent ye shall all
likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).
9. Step 5: Ask Jesus Christ
to save you.
• “For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved”
(Romans 10:13) and “Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved” (Acts 16:31).
10. Step 6: Proclaim Jesus
before others.
• “If thou shall confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shall
be saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness: and
with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation” (Romans 10:9, 10).
11. This may help…
• “Dear Father in Heaven, I realize
that I am a sinner and need
forgiveness. I believe that Jesus
Christ died for my sins
[wrongdoings]. I am willing to turn
from my sins and lead the life you
want me to lead. I now ask Jesus
Christ to come into my heart and I
receive Him into my life as my
personal Savior. I am willing, by
God's grace, to follow and obey
Christ as the Lord of my life. Please
forgive me for my sins and save
me.”… The Sinners Prayer
12. What next?
• Talk to God in prayer every day.
• Tell others about Christ.
• Join a Bible-believing church and
get baptized. Worship with, and join
other Christians in serving Christ in a
church that truly believes the Bible
and honours and preaches about
Christ.
13. Summary
• If you decided for Jesus – Have
confidence you have a place in
heaven for eternity!
• Now go tell the world of what the
Lord and Saviour has done for you.
