2. All of YOUR SINS are PAID FOR and FORGIVEN.

What kind of death? The Bible talks about two kinds of death.
The first death is physical. The second death is spiritual or eternal
separation from God. We read about this SECOND DEATH in the
book of Revelation.
"But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who
practice magic, those who worship idols, and ALL LIARS - the place
for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is
the Second Death." (Revelation 21:8)
(Past, Present and Future sins)
"He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought
us safe into the kingdom of His dear Son, by whom
we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven."
(Colossians 1:13-14)
3. You are A NEW PERSON in God's eyes.
A new life has begun for you.
"Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the
old is gone, the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

3. His resurrection proves that He is the Son of God,
the Messiah, the only Savior.
"It is about His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: as to His humanity,
He was born a descendant of David; as to His divine Holiness,
He was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being
raised from death." (Romans 1 :3-4)
4. He promises Eternal Life.
Jesus Himself said in John 11 :25-26, " ...I am the resurrection
and the life. Those who believe in Me will live, even though they
die; and those who live and believe in Me will never die."
Do you believe this?
Merely knowing about what Jesus Christ
has done for us is not enough.
6 day on, I will follow and obey you. Amen.
You can pray this simple prayer to express your faith in Jesus Christ and
receive Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior. You only
have to pray this prayer once, but with sincerity, because
when He enters your life, He will never leave you.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, thank you so much for
loving me. I confess that I am a sinner worthy of
eternal punishment. Thank you for dying on the
cross to pay for all of my sins. With your help, I
am turning away from all my sins. Today, I put my
trust in you as my Lord and Savior and I receive
you into my heart. Thank you for forgiving my
sins and for coming into my heart. I accept your
free gift of eternal life. Thank you that one day, I
will go home to be with you in heaven. From this
