For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. No matter how much good we do, we still fall short.
For the wages of sin is death... (Romans 6:23) Just as there are wages for good, there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Christ’s great love for us was shown when He died on the cross to pay our debt.
But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23) For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith.
If you can Acknowledge your sinful condition, Believe that Christ died in your place to pay your sin debt, simply Call upon the Lord from your heart. The simplest prayer ever uttered in Scripture (Matthew 14:30) is a wonderful example of what to say. (Realize it’s not mere words that save, but your faith in Jesus Christ).
