Do you realize that you are a sinner, dear friend? God says you are. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:2323For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23).
Now listen to this good news: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Therefore He came to save you.
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." 1 Tim. 1:1515This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15).
If you acknowledge the fact that you are lost—and the Scripture says, "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost"—then we must conclude that He came to seek and to save you.
Do you realize that you are unjust? Then look at this: "Christ hath also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." 1 Peter 3:1818For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (1 Peter 3:18). You can thank the Lord Jesus that you are the very one for whom He suffered on Calvary's cross. And because He suffered there for your sins, He can bring you to God, freely forgiven and forever justified from all things.
"Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the Law of Moses." Acts 13:38, 3938Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:38‑39).
Why not look to Him now, and trust Him as your own precious Savior? He came to save sinners! You confess that you are a sinner. If you really believe that He suffered for all your sins on the cross, that His shed blood has cleansed you in the sight of God, you will be saved—and saved forever. Receive Him now, trust Him for salvation, and yield to Him the gratitude of your heart for all He has done to save you from a lost eternity.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth 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 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth 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).
"To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Rom. 4:55But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Romans 4:5).
"All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the
Lord hath laid on Him the
iniquity of us all.”
