Let's face it, you are guilty as charged!!
So now what? Is there any way out for you, a person guilty of breaking the law, or do you have to be sentenced?
Yes, my friend, there is a way out.
Now that you know that you are GUILTY,
1. Realize and acknowedge that all have sinned (broken the law) and come
short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
2. Realize and acknowledge that the wages of sin (breaking the law) is death.
Romans 6:23
3. Realize and acknowledge that Christ died for our sins (breaking of the law).
(Romans 5:8)
4. Realize and acknowledge that the gift of God is eternal life (Romans 6:23)
5. Realize and acknowledge that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved (released from the penalty of sin) (Romans 10:13)
CONFESS AND ASK:
Lord Jesus, be merciful to me, a sinner, who has broken your law. I believe that you died, were buried,
and rose again from the dead to pay for my sins (breaking of the law) Save me now from the verdict of Hell. Thank
you for saving me today.
