"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,..." Romans 3:23a
Yes ,all men, including you, have come short of Heaven because of sin.
2. Realize and acknowledge:
"For the wages of sin is death;..." Romans 6:23a
All men die physically, but all men do not die spiritually.
You can be born again through Jesus Christ and be saved from the penalty of sin which is an eternal Hell, a place of 'fire and brimstone'.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
3. Realize and acknowledge:
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;" 1 Corinthians 15:3
Jesus Christ paid the entire price on the cross for your sin (and mine).
God set the price on sin, which was a perfect sacrifice, and then God Himself gave His own Son to pay the price.
4. Realize and acknowledge:
"...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23b
God offers you freely His gift of eternal life.
This gift is yours by believing in a risen Christ
who arose on the third day and is alive forever more.
5. Realize and acknowledge:
"Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
Whosoever means you. If you, by simple faith, will trust in the
death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your soul's salvation,
you can be 100% sure that you are going to Heaven.
Nothing else will do...not membership, nor baptism, not confirmation, nor communion.
None of these things can save us from sin.
Only Jesus Christ!
6. Confess and ask:
"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.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9-13
Now that you know the truth, why not pray this prayer...
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sin and come into my heart and save me. Amen."
