Only He Saves
A Relationship With JESUS Begins With The Simple Acronym A-B-C:
A. Admit you are a sinner in need of His forgiveness, grace, & love
-you committed sin against your Creator, a Holy God Who will forgive if you seek Him
-grace is God’s unmerited favor towards you, you cannot earn salvation by doing “good works”
-accept the free gift of salvation (eternal relationship with God) offered in Jesus Christ alone
(Romans 3:21-26, Romans 6:21-23, Romans 5:1-9, Ephesians 2:1-10)
B. Believe in your heart that Jesus is Who He claimed to be & died for your sins & rose again
-trust that Jesus’ death on the Cross paid the penalty for your sin & the whole world
-trust that Jesus defeated the wages of sin & death with the resurrection (Jesus lives today!)
-trust that Jesus keeps you eternally secure, NOTHING! can separate you from His love
(1 Corinthians 15:3-5, John 3:16-17, John 1:12, Acts 4:12, Romans 8:31-38)
C. Confess with your mouth He is Lord & commit your life to Him
-your life is not yours, it belongs to Jesus because He is your King (this is devotion)
-you are to live as Jesus prescribes, He teaches us how to live in His Word the Bible
-your passion is to make Jesus famous, to tell everyone about Him and enlarge His Kingdom
(Romans 10:9-10, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Matthew 22:37-39, Matthew 28:18-20)
