Truths from God's Word

* God Loves you
* Sin separates people from God
* Jesus died for your sins
* You can be saved by confessing Jesus is Lord

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him, from the dead, you will be saved."
-Romans 10:9 NKJV
Jesus Bore our Sin

The human race owned a tremendous debt of sin. Because mankind was unable to pay its debt, God sent His own Son to pay for it (1st Peter 2:24). Jesus was your substitute. He took your place. He paid the awful price for your sin. He did it because He loved you (John 3:16-17).

Now that the debt is paid, you are given a right standing with God. It is actually the right standing that Jesus earned as a result of His obedience unto death. You receive His righteousness the moment you take Him as your Lord and Savior. "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2nd Corinthians 5:21).

If Christ dwells in your heart, you have the righteousness of God. You are made to be the righteousness of God in Him.
Believe and Confess

".. The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you CONFESS with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one BELIEVES to righteousness, and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:8-10).

Pray this prayer

Heavenly Father, I believe you love me. I believe Jesus died for me and rose from the dead. Today, I confess Jesus as my Lord and receive the forgiveness of all my sins. Holy Spirit, come into my life. Thank You for saving me, in Jesus' name. --Amen.
