Salvation through the Lord Jesus the only way








HAVE YOU HEARD THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?
Dear beloved
Jesus loves you and died for you. He wants you to save you and to live eternal life with him.
Made Alive in Christ
1              As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do
                Have you heard the message of salvation in Christ.                       
Jesus loves you and has a purpose for your life. You are special and precious to him. He died on the cross so that you could live and have eternal life with him.
2              Gods love:John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him may not dies but have eternal life.
Gods purpose:  John 10:10
3              The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy, I have come in order that you might have life – life in all its fullness.
Why do people have meaningless and miserable and sad lives.
4              It is because sin separates man from God and he does not have the blessings of God.
5              Sin - Romans 3 : 23
Everyone has sinned and is far away from the Gods saving presence.
Man is separated from God. Romans 6 :23 For the wages of sin is death but God’s free gift is eternal life in union with Jesus Christ our Lord


6              .JESUS CHRIST  IS OUR ONLY WAY TO SALAVATION as provided by God. Jesus death on the cross of Calavary was a substitute for our own death.

7.            Romans 5:8
But God has shown us how much he loves us that while we are still sinners Christ died for us.
8.            1 Corithians 15:3-6 I passed on to you what I received which is of the greatest importance that Christ dies for our sins, that he was raised to life three days later as written in the scriptures.
9.            Jesus is the only way - Joni 14 : 6                                            
Jesus answered him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one goes to the father except by me


10.          Its not enough just to know this information. We should accept the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives to receive his free gift of life and salvation.
11.          John1:12 Some however did receive him and believed him, so he gave them the right to become Gods children.
12.          We can only receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith.
13           Ephesians 2:8-9
14.          For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith, it is not the result of your own efforts but God’s gift so that no one can boast
15         We receive the Lord Jesus Christ by inviting him in to our life.
16.          Revelation:3:20
Listen I stand at the door and knock: if anyone hears my voice and opens the door. I will come in to his house and eat with him and he will eat with me.
You can receive Christ now by saying this prayer.
17.          Lord Jesus. I need you. I open the door of my heart to receive you. I accept you as my Lord and saviour. I believe that you are the son of God who died and rose for me. Thank you for cleansing my sins. Please be the Lord of my life and make me the person you want me to be.
18.          GOD BLESS YOU AND THE PEACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU.
