Appendix A - How do I start following Jesus?
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. No one is righteous. No one. [Romans 3:23; 3:10]
The wages (punishment) for sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Romans 6:23]
God proves His love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. [Romans 5:8]
If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. [Romans 10:9,13]
Think of the first three letters in the English alphabet: A B C
ADMIT that you are a sinner and that sin stands in the way of your relationship with God.
BELIEVE that Jesus died to take the punishment for your sin.
CONFESS that you need to be forgiven for your sins and want to make Jesus the Lord and Master of your life.
Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus [Romans 8:1]
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! [Romans 8:38-39] (CSB)
