Salvation gospel tract

                                                            Salvation gospel tract

 

            Do you know Jesus? There is no relationship like one with Jesus I am going to show that it is so necessary by these verses too.

First I am showing why producing it with this verse

(Romans 1:16)  For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

 

(Romans 1:17)  For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."

 

These two verses speak of all who receive Jesus become sons of God

(John 1:12)  But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

 

(John 1:13)  who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

 

There is no partiality either with God for Jews or Gentiles (Greeks)

(Romans 3:9)  What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,

 

(Romans 3:10)  as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

 

(Romans 3:11)  no one understands; no one seeks for God.

 

(Romans 3:12)  All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."

 

Romans chapter 3 also is very clear that we need to be saved from our own sins that we have committed           

(Romans 3:23)  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 

(Romans 3:24)  and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

 

Here are the consequences of the sin that we have committed

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

It is why God sent His son Jesus with the purpose of doing all that is prophesied for us

(John 3:16)  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 

(John 3:17)  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him

 

 Here is another verse in Romans showing that while we were sinners Jesus died for us, showing God’s love toward us.

(Romans 5:8)  but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

As some of the above verses do remind us, this verse really drives home the point that this is a gift from God and cannot be earned

(Ephesians 2:8)  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

 

(Ephesians 2:9)  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

 

(2 Corinthians 9:15)  Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

 

In John 14 Jesus then makes it very clear that nobody can come to God but by Him

(John 14:6)  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

 

But Jesus also makes it clear in Revelation that He indeed is seeking people always

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

 

Take a look at this verse in Timothy stating that God does really care about His people being saved and turning from their evil ways

(1 Timothy 2:4)  who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

Here is a verse in 2 Peter to remind us that the Lord wants people to repent from their sins

(2 Peter 3:9)  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

 

What are the keys to repentance? Here is a verse in 1 John

(1 John 1:9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

And here are the two key verses in Romans 10 about Salvation:

(Romans 10:9)  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

 

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

 

(Romans 10:11)  For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

 

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

 

(Romans 10:13)  For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

 

Now those people are now a new creation in Christ

(2 Corinthians 5:17)  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

 

(2 Corinthians 5:18)  All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

 

Here are some more encouraging verses which state the benefits of Salvation including peace and the love relationship with God which results from our salvation

(Romans 5:1)  Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

(Romans 8:1)  There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

 

(Romans 8:2)  For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

 

(Romans 8:35)  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

 

(Romans 8:37)  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

 

(Romans 8:38)  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

 

(Romans 8:39)  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

I am sure you have now seen enough now to be ready to pray to be saved. I am now including a short prayer that you can say to ensure that you are saved and have eternal life when you die, going to heaven to be with Jesus forever and not end up going to hell.

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my  sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen.
