1 John 5:13 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, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1. We Are All Sinners.

Rom. 3:10             As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Rom. 3:12            They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom. 3:23            For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom. 5:12            Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

2.There’s A Price On Sin, And That Price Is Hell.

Rom. 6:23            For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rev. 20:14‑15     And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

                                And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

3. Jesus Paid That Price Because He Was Our Substitute.

Rom. 5:8              But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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.

2 Cor. 5:21          For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

4. Jesus Will Save You If You Will Just Put Your Trust In Him.

Rom. 10:9‑10       That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

                                For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom. 10:13           For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 16:30‑31     And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

                And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

John 6:47             Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Works Cannot Save!

Rom. 3:28             Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Rom. 4:5               But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Gal. 2:16               Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Gal. 2:21               I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Eph. 2:8‑9            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.

Ps. 32:1‑2

1              Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2              Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

                                                IMPUTE = record the details

Rom. 4:6‑8

6              Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7              Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8              Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Rom. 8:37‑39

37           Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38           For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39           Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
