You are a sinner in need of someone to save you from the eternal punishment by a holy God for your sins.  (sin is anything done against God's law)

• Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 

• Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death..."  (Just like at a job you earn a wage for your work, what you earn for your sin is eternal separation from God in hell.) 

Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation for your sins.

• John 14:6 says, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.'" 

• Acts 4:12 says speaking of Jesus, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Jesus showed his love for you by dying on the cross for your sins.

• Romans 5:8 says, "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

You can be saved through faith (belief) in Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection as payment for your sins.

• Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
