FOUR THINGS GOD WANT YOU TO KNOW.
...Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom ...Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Romans 14:12). It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way (Isaiah 53:5). All were born in sin (Romans 5:12).
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy he saved us (Titus 3:5). For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14:12). Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by ME (John 14:6).
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God (1 Peter 3:18). Him (Jesus) who knew no sin God made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21.). For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while he is near (Isaiah 55:6). Behold now is the...time, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Choose you this day whom ye will serve (Joshua 24:15). He that hearth My word and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24). (Original sins, Genesis 2:15-17; Genesis 3:1-6). (Actual sin: Age of Accountability).
YOUR PART
Believe - Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31).
Repent - (Turn from your sins)-Except ye repent ye shall perish (Luke 13:3). For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
Confess Jesus before other - 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 (Romans 10:9-10).
Trust him to keep you. He is able to keep you from falling (Jude 24)
