The GospelFAITH OUTLINE PRESENTATION
Can We Ask You A Question?
 In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? Some people say that it is by doing good things.
Some say if the good they do out weighs the bad. Some say it is by being religious or being a member of a church. How does the Bible
 answer this question?We Can Show You By Using The Word
FAITH.
 F is for FORGIVENESS
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness.— In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins - Ephesians 1:7a, NKJV. A is for AVAILABLE
Forgiveness is available. It is — • Available for All .— For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life - John 3:16, NKJV. • But Not Automatic —Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven— Matthew 7:21a, NKJV. I is for IMPOSSIBLE
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven. • Because of who He is: God is loving and just. His judgement is against sin. —For judgement is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy - James 2:13a, NKJV. • Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner. —For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23, NKJV. But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin? T is for TURN
Turn means repent. • Turn from something-sin and self. —But unless you repent you will all likewise perish - Luke 13:3b, NKJV. • Turn to Someone: trust Christ only. —If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved - Romans 10:9, NKJV. H is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life. • Here —I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly - John 10:10b, NKJV. • Hereafter —And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also - John 14:3, NKJV. • How? How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness.
Take the step of faith described by another meaning of FAITH: F orsaking All I T rust H im.  A simple prayer you may use.....Dear Jesus I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen. After you have received Jesus Christ into your life, tell a Christian friend about the important decision you have made. Follow Christ in believer's baptism and church membership. Grow in faith and enjoy new friends in Christ by becoming a part of His church and attending the Sunday School class a church has just for you. You'll find others who will love and support you.

James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
Being sorry for your sins, or confessing your sins cannot take away sin. The Bible says the penalty for sin is death. We all die physically, but we also deserve to die spiritually by spending eternity in Hell.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Doing your best is commendable, To turn from your sins and stop sinning is also very desirable (yet impossible). Will doing these things make you perfect? No! Heaven is a perfect place and you must be perfect to enter. The Bible says:
Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it (Heaven) anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the lambs book of life.

No deeds, charity, contributions to churches, nor any good work by you, can take away your sins or save you. The Bible says:
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
No deeds, charity, contributions to churches, nor any good work by you, can take away your sins or save you. The Bible says:
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Water baptism and communion cannot pay for sins. They are for those who are already saved.
Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us..."
Correct! By trusting in Jesus Christ who paid for all of your sins when he died on the cross, you will receive the GIFT of everlasting life.
Salvation is a GIFT, all you have to do is accept that GIFT.
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Even though you may die physically, your soul will live forever in Heaven. Jesus Christ said: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus Christ also said: John 6:47 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath (possesses now) everlasting life."
Incorrect! You can do nothing to add to the finished work of Christ. By doing so, you are not trusting in Christ alone as your Savior but only as your helper. You cannot go to Heaven that way. You must forget about your good works and commitments as a means of saving yourself, and put your trust ONLY in the Savior - Jesus Christ.
Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
Friend, I cannot make you believe in Heaven or Hell. Maybe you don't believe in it because you can't see it. But neither can you see the air you breathe, yet without it you would die. Heaven is real! Hell is real! Why not investigate God's word?
John 3:18 "He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
DO YOU NEED ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW TO BE SAVED?How can I go to Heaven?The fact is ... we are all sinners; we all deserve to go to Hell; Heaven is a perfect place and nothing we do can make us perfect. How then can we go to Heaven? The answer is found in God's word, the Bible:
"For He (God) hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (II Corinthians 5:21)
You see, Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay for all of our sins. He died FOR us. Only through Him can we have eternal life. What then must you do to go to Heaven?
By trusting in Jesus Christ as the one who died for your sins, you will receive everlasting life. Even though you may die physically, your soul will live forever in Heaven. Jesus Christ said:
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Jesus also said:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me HATH (possesses now) everlasting life." (John 6:47)
The moment you trust Jesus Christ as your Savior, your sins will be forgiven, and you will receive God's righteousness (perfection). This allows you to enter Heaven...
"And by Him (Christ) all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." (Acts 13:39)
Trusting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior is a one time decision in your life. The moment you believe in Christ, God will give you eternal life. Once you have believed, God accepts you as his child.
"But 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)
God may discipline you when you disobey, but He will never cast you out of His family, You have eternal life which is secure. You can never lose it, neither can you forfeit it. God's unconditional promise is that He will never take it away from you.
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand." (John 10:28)
This is called eternal security. Serving the Lord is important, once you are saved. It brings God's blessings and joy to your life. But if relied upon to get you to Heaven, it will not work. Salvation is ONLY by faith in Jesus Christ.
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life..." (I John 5:13)
Right now, why not trust Jesus Christ as your Savior. He will save you for all eternity. You can also have the assurance that your sins are forgiven (past, present, and future). God has said it, and He cannot lie!
"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. And this is the Father's will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." (John 6:37-39)
A SIMPLE PRAYER THAT MEANS EVERYTHING!
Dear Jesus I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.
