DO YOU HAVE PEACE WITH GOD?

THE PROBLEM - SEPARATION FROM GOD
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
This means everyone since Adam and Eve inherited a bent toward sin. One needs only to look at a room full of preschoolers to see that sin is our natural tendency.

THE RESULT - SPIRITUAL DEATH
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
God is holy and just, which means he cannot tolerate sin except through just punishment - death and eternal judgment.

GOD'S SOLUTION - HIS DEATH IN OUR PLACE
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
This is what John the Baptizer alluded to when he said of Christ, "Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." Jesus - God in the flesh - was the only acceptable sacrifice for our sinful condition.

YOUR SALVATION - BY FAITH
Romans 10:9 "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."
Faith - believing from the heart - is the medium of exchange that God requires.
Romans 10:13 "Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 5:1 "Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Jesus, I agree that I'm a sinner and I need you to save me from eternal judgment. I believe that you are God's Son, that you died in my place and conquered death on my behalf through your bodily resurrection. I repent of my sin and cast myself on your mercy, asking you to come in and make me a new creation - give me a new heart and new desires. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
