is a simple step-by-step plan of how to accept Christ as
your Lord and Savior securing your free gift of eternal life.
God Loves You!

Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life." John 3:16
God has a wonderful plan for your life!
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have
it more abundantly." John 10:10b
- Because of our sin, we are separated from God.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God." Romans 3:23
- The Penalty for our sin is death.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans

saved." Romans 10:13

in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you
will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans

Can you be sure that if you ask Christ to save you, He
