How Can I Know God and 
Find Forgiveness for My Sins?

"For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."  
                                                    - Romans 10:13

How You Can Know God's Love

"There is a God in Heaven who loves you as you are and not as you should be."

Yes... you are right... there is a God. You know that must be true. The heart of 
the human being longs for God, and logic demands divine existence.

Though most people  might  believe that God is... we sense separation from God.We 
know God must be holy and good. We see ourselves as unholy and not good. 
We conclude that God is angry with us and we cannot know Him.

Good News! The truth of God's love is His Word - the Bible tells us that God loves 
us as we are. That love will save us from our sin and make us what we should 
be as God's children.


John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that 
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."


We hear Jesus say, "God so loved the world." God's love has no limitations. 
He loves "so". More than we can imagine. He loves everyone - not just 
some ones.

Romans 5:8 tells us that God loved us so that "when we were in our sin 
Christ Jesus came to die for us."



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


This verse tells us that all people have sinned. We have fallen short of 
God's intended purpose for us. God made us to know Him.... to receive His 
love and to love him in return. 

For love to be love... for God to be God... and for humans to be humans.... 
God gave us a choice. We can choose to love ourselves and turn to our 
selfish pursuits. That is sin. In our sin we cannot know God and His love. 
The result of sin is that we are lost... separated from God.

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


Wages are just payment... due reward... what one has coming because of 
labor. The just payment for our sin is death.

Death here means spiritual insensitivity. When we are still in our sin, we 
have no life with God. We are alive physically but dead spiritually. If we 
continue in that condition, we will be separated from God for all eternity.

The wages of sin is death. but God's free gift is eternal life. While wages 
are earned, a gift is offered... no strings attached. God says He will give us 
eternal life - life with Him - in the place of sin's payment of death.

How can God remain true to His holiness and forgive unholy sinners? 
Because Jesus, His Son, has paid the price for sin by His death on the cross.

2 Corinthians: 5:21 says, "He who knew no sin became sin for us, that 
we may be made the righteousness of God through Him."


Jesus arose from the grave to conquer sin and death for all who receive Him 
as God's free gift.

How can you receive God's free gift of love and life?

Romans 10:9-10
"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart 
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a 
person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he 
confesses, resulting in salvation."


A person receives God's free gift of love and life by placing faith in Jesus 
Christ. To believe is simply to take God at His word. With our heart 
(whole believing) we believe that Jesus is God's Son who died for our sin 
on the cross and arose from the grave to live in us as Savior and Lord.

To believe in Jesus will result in confessing that faith with one's mouth.

Do you acknowledge that your are a sinner?

Do you believe by faith that Jesus, God's Son, died for your sin on the cross?

Will you now confess Him as your Savior and Lord?

Romans 10:13
"for Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."



This verse says that any person who will call upon the name of Jesus, 
the Lord, shall be saved. 

To call means simply to ask in prayer. The verse does not require one to 
know more... do better... clean up one's life... or in any way try to add to 
what Jesus has done for us.

Will you now call upon Jesus to save you from your sin so that you 
can know God's love and forgiveness?


Pray like this: "Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I am sorry. I need 
a Savior. I know I cannot save myself. I believe by faith that Jesus, your 
Son, died on the cross to be my Savior. I believe He arose from the grave 
to live as my Lord. I turn from my sin. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to forgive my 
sin. I trust you as my Savior and receive you as 
my Lord. Come into my heart.
 Thank you, Jesus, for saving me."

When anyone calls on the Lord in this manner, that one is saved according 
to God's Word
. If you pray a prayer of repentance and faith, you are saved. 
You have God's word on it.

If you have prayed this prayer to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, why 
not record your decision to follow Jesus as follows. Often times, a good place 
to write this would be inside the cover of your bible:

Believing by faith that God loves me and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die 
for my sin and arise from the grave to live in me, I, _______, do this day,
 ________, repent of my sin and accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord 
and Savior. According to the promise of God in Romans 10:13, I have 
called upon His name and have His word for the assurance of my salvation



We would love to help you grow in your faith in Jesus Christ.  Please join the Christians  at the
