The Bible says: "The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of
men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned
aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not
one." Psalms 14:2-3 "For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God" Romans 3:23 People try to bridge this separation from
Because God is absolutely holy and just, He could not ignore our sin, so He
sent His Son, Jesus to pay the penalty for the sin of the world. God’s love
bridged the gap of separation between God and you. When Jesus died on the cross
and rose from the dead, God’s justice was satisfied and this made it possible

if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." Hebrews 4:7 "For

our Lord." Romans 6:23 "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call

To enter into a relationship with God, the Bible says you need to do four
things:
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not
sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." 1 John 1:8-10
To confess your sin means simply admit to God that you have done wrong things
in your life, said things you shouldn’t, thought things you shouldn’t, and that
you haven’t done everything you should have. God wants to wash away your sin,
forgive you, and grant you the righteousness that you need to have a
The Bible says, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the
Lord" Acts 3:19 "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38 Jesus said, "Repent,
the Lord, and He will have mercy on him." Isaiah 55:7 To repent

Matthew 11:28 Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If
anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with
Heavenly Father, I confess that I have sinned against You. I repent, and turn
away from my sin to follow after You. I believe that Jesus died upon the cross
for my sin and rose the third day from the grave, as the Scriptures say. I now
call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask for Your forgiveness of my
sin. I ask that I might be born again of Your Spirit. I now confess that Jesus
If you have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, called upon His name, repented
from your sin and have committed your life to Him, you are now a Christian.

while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now
been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if
when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son,
