God Is Creator
We were created by a personal God to be loved by him and to love, serve, and enjoy fellowship with Him. The New Testament reveals it was Jesus Himself who created everything (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16). He has authority over all of His creation.

God Is Holy
God is absolutely and perfectly holy (Isaiah 6:3); therefore He cannot commit or approve of evil (James 1:13). God requires holiness of us as well. 

We Have All Sinned
According to Scripture, everyone is guilty of sin: There is no man who does not sin (Romans 3:23). No one is perfect and we're incapable of understanding, loving, or pleasing God on our own (Romans 3:10-12).

Sin Demands a Penalty
God's holiness and justice demand that all sin be punished by eternal death (Romans 6:23). That's why simply changing our patterns of behavior can't solve our sin problem or eliminate its consequences.

Jesus Is Lord and Savior
Romans 10:9 says, If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. God's love sent Jesus as Savior who paid the penalty and died for sinners (1 Peter 3:18). Christ's death satisfied the demands of God's justice, and Christ's perfect life satisfied the demands of God's holiness (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus can forgive and save those who place their faith in Him (John 5:24).

Summary

We can summarize the above by a simple ABC explanation.

  • A—Admit that You are a sinner (Romans 3:23), (Romans 6:23). Admit that you cannot be perfect and that your good works cannot save you.
  • B—Believe that Jesus is God’s Son, that He died for you, and that His death can save your soul (John 3:16), (Romans 5:8)
  • C—Confess that He is your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-13) and surrender your life to him.
