Reasons Why You Need God (Text Version)

Part 2

1. Admit your need - "I am a sinner."

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

2. Be willing to turn from your sins - repent.

"Except you repent you shall perish" (Luke 13:3).

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross, paid the full penalty for your sins, and rose from the grave and ascended to heaven to be your Savior.

"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us ... being now justified by his blood we shall be saved from wrath through him" (Romans 5:8-9).

4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as your Savior and Master).

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in..." (Revelation 3:20).

"As many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12).

Pray This Prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am sinful and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died to pay the penalty for my sin. I want to turn from my sin nature and follow you instead. I invite you to come into my heart and life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

When you receive Christ and repent of your sins, you are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. This is called regeneration or the "new birth."

Jesus said,

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the spirit is spirit" (John 3:5-6).

"He who has the Son has life: he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life" (John 5:12-13).

"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13).

It Is Important To Know God And To Obey Him

"The Lord Jesus shall he revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ"
(1 Thessalonians 1:7-8).

"Please tell me more."
