The Gospel of Grace
Romans 1:20-21: “For the invisible things of
him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things
that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they
glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was
darkened.”
We must acknowledge God as the Creator of
everything and accept our humble position in
God's creation.
Romans 3:23 : “For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;”
We must all realize that we are sinners and
that we need forgiveness. We are not worthy
of God’s grace.
Romans 5:8 : “But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.”
Through Jesus, God gave us a way to be saved
from our sins. God showed us His love by
giving us the potential for life through the
death of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.”
If we remain sinners, we will die. However,
if we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior,
and repent of our sins, we will have eternal
life.
Romans 10:9-10: “That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.”
Just confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and
believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead and you will be saved!
Romans 10:13: “For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
There are no religious formulas or rituals
-- Call upon the name of the Lord and you
will be saved!
Romans 11:36: “For of him, and through him,
and to him, are all things: to whom be glory
forever. Amen.”
Determine in your heart to make Jesus Christ
the Lord of your life today.
Are You Ready to Accept God’s Gift of
Salvation?
If you truly believe the message of the
Romans, and want to accept God’s gift of
salvation right now, it's a matter of
repenting of your sins and turning the rest
of your life over to Jesus Christ. Again,
this is not a ritual based on any specific
words or prayers, but rather, a willful
decision and a sincere step of faith.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws
and my sins have separated me from you. I am
truly sorry, and now I want to turn away
from my past sinful life toward you. Please
forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died
for my sins, was resurrected from the dead,
is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite
Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule
and reign in my heart from this day forward.
Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey
You, and to do Your will for the rest of my
life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
(Acts 2:38)
If you decided to receive Jesus today,
welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to
grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to
follow up on our commitment.
• Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
• Tell someone else about your new faith in
Christ.
• Spend time with God each day. It does not
have to be a long period of time.
Just develop the daily habit of praying to
Him and reading His Word.
Ask God to increase your faith and your
understanding of the Bible.
• Seek fellowship with other followers of
Jesus. Develop a group of believing
friends to answer your questions and support
you.
• Find a local church where you can worship
God.
