Gospel

1. Have you ever told a lie?
What does that make you? A person who lies is a liar.

2. Have you ever stolen anything, even something very small?
What does that make you? A person who steals is a thief.

3. Have you ever looked at someone and had sexual thoughts? Jesus said whoever looks at someone to lust after them has committed adultery in their hearts, this includes premarital sex. Do you know what these are? They are 3 of the Ten Commandments. The rest are;

4. Have you ever hated someone? Jesus said if you even hate someone you are a murderer at heart.

Galatians 3:10
“For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM.”

The Bible says that no one has kept the law.
James 2:10
For whoever keeps the whole Law and yet stumbles in one point is guilty of all.”

Romans 3:9-12
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; as it is written, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”
Jeremiah 17:9-10
“The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it? I, the Lord, search the heart; I test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

The Bible says God has appointed a day to judge every man in righteousness, righteousness based on the 10 Commandments. If you died today, and you stood before God and He judged you by the Ten Commandments, like the Bible says he will, would you be guilty or innocent of breaking the Ten Commandments?
Guilty.

Would that mean heaven, or hell?
Hell.

Mathew 13:41-42
“The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Mathew 25:41
“Then he will say to those on His left, depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.”

Isaiah 66:24
“Then they shall go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind.”

It doesn’t have to be that way! There is a way. Jesus Christ came to this earth, God in human flesh, and died a horrible, bloody death on the cross to pay for our sins. The Bible says that Jesus became sin for us, so that God’s wrath would be satisfied by Jesus’ blood, because Jesus led a perfect life under the Law, He could take all the sins of this world, past, present and future, on Himself. He died on that cross, was buried, and rose again, flesh and blood. He dwelt on this earth for a short time after his resurrection, and then ascended to Heaven.
He paid for your sins, He paid for my sins, but you have to come to Him broken with an understanding that you are a sinner and that you don’t deserve His mercy, but because He is merciful He will forgive you. Jesus said, “Unless you repent you shall likewise perish”. The first step is repentance, which means to acknowledge your sin, to change your mind about it, and to turn from it. Then we must believe, which does not just mean to just believe that there was a man named Jesus but to trust in Him, to transfer the ownership of your life to Him, believing and trusting that He is able to save you.
I want you right now, to confess your sins to God, tell him everything, He already knows, He wants to hear it from you, every sin you can think of, confess it To God……………..
You have to believe in Jesus, this literally means that when you believe you become Jesus’, you make him the Lord of your life in every way. Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”
All that’s left is to pray to God, committing your life to Him. Romans 10:13 “For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Dear God,
I know I’m a sinner and I don’t deserve your grace. I realize and believe that you sent your Son to come down to the earth and die a horrible death on the cross. I believe He rose again. I am willing to turn from my sins (name your sins) and completely live for you. Please come into my life and save me. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
