so [Jesus] must be [crucified],

so that everyone who believes in him

will have eternal life.⁠  John 3:14

It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.

Because of your sins,

he has turned away

and will not listen anymore.  Isaiah 59:2

and after that comes judgment,  Hebrews 9:27

For the wages of sin is death,  Romans 6:23

... the LORD laid on him

the sins of us all.  Isaiah 53:6

(6) Not By Works

And you can’t take credit for this;

it is a gift from God.

for the good things we have done.  Ephesians 2:8-9 

How to Receive God’s Gift

People are made right with God

when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life,

shedding his blood.  Romans 3:25

and turn to God,

so that your sins may be wiped away.  Acts 3:19

If any of you wants to be my follower,

you must give up your own way,

take up your cross,

and follow me [Jesus]. Mark 8:34

(9) TELL GOD:

1. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son, and that He paid the penalty for my sins and You raised Him to life.
2. I rely only on what Jesus has done on the cross rather than on what I do to save me.
3. I want to turn from my sins and ask for Your forgiveness.
4. I want Jesus to take control of my life. 
5. Help me to live to obey and serve Jesus as my Lord.
6. Thank you for your free gift of salvation!
