The simple gospel - How to receive eternal life (tract)

How to receive eternal life – Step 1 - Admit that you’re a sinner. First of all, the Bible says that we’re all sinners - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. We’ve all lied, stolen, or coveted something – and the Bible says there’s a consequence for our sins - For the wages of sin is death… And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (And we know that we’ve all lied before - and we’ve all done worse things than lying - therefore we all deserve hell because of our sins).

Step 2 - Believe the gospel. But the good news is that God loves us and He doesn’t want us to go to hell to be punished for our sins. That’s why He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be the propitiation (or payment) for our sins. Jesus is the Son of God (and He’s also God manifest in the flesh). Jesus bore our sins in His own body on the cross, and He was buried, and He rose again from the dead in order to pay for all of our sins and to save us from hell - (He bore our punishment in our place). But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Step 3 - Receive Christ as Savior (Ask Him to save you). The Bible says that salvation is simply by believing in or trusting in Christ alone. Acts chapter 16 verse 31 says - Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Salvation is not based on our good works or efforts (we cannot earn it) – it is based solely on Christ’s payment for our sins - For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves : it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. (Salvation is only by God’s grace (by His unmerited favor) through faith in Jesus Christ).

If you’re reading this message and you desire to be saved, you must admit that you are a sinner, and you must stop trusting in everything you previously thought could save you (such as: being a good person, or going to church, or being baptized, or keeping the commandments, or turning away from sin) and you must simply depend upon Jesus’ finished work alone for your salvation – by receiving His death, His burial and His resurrection as the complete payment for your sins. If you believe that He did it for you - you will be saved. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (if you ask Him to save you), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Salvation is a single event so that’s why you only need to receive it once. The moment you put your trust in Christ alone as Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins (past, present and future sins) and eternal life. Eternal life is a gift that will last forever and that you cannot ever lose for any reason. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Once you are saved, you’re saved forever and you become a child of God. Now, if you do good things, God will bless you, and if you commit sins, God will correct you - but your punishment will come only in this lifetime. You can no longer go to hell because you’re saved - and all of your sins are paid for and covered by the blood of Jesus. It is God’s promise - He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. Simply ask Jesus to save you and He will do it – say ‘’Lord Jesus, I know I’m a sinner, and I deserve to go to hell, but I believe that you died on the cross and rose again to pay for all of my sins. Save me right now and give me eternal life. I’m trusting in you alone as my Savior – and not in my good works or religion. Thanks for saving me. Amen’’. If you are sincere, you have received the gift of eternal life. Congrats. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23 (KJV)).

The ABC gospel

The core gospel (ABC'S). (Sin)- For all have sinned and come short of the glory (or perfection) of God. As it is written: there is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:23, 10). This means that every person has sinned, and there’s a consequence for our sins – ‘’For the wages of sin is death’’ (Romans 6:23). This is not only a physical death, but also a second death in hell – ‘’And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death’’ (Revelation 21:8). (Jesus)- But the good news is that Christ died for our sins, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day in order to pay for all of our sins and to save us from hell (He is the propitiation (or the payment) for our sins). ‘’But God commendeth (proves) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree’’. Romans 5:8, 1Peter 2:24. (Salvation)- The one thing the Bible says we mus
