BUT the best fact of all is that I have a Savior who loves me and died for my sins on the cross many years ago. He did not stay dead, but rose again the third day...do you know Him? I am going to share some verses through some pictures.

We all have sinned...we all have lied, cheated, stolen, taken the Lord's name in vain. Read the 10 Commandments and I guarantee that you have broken a number of them...I know I have. Sin separates us from God...because God hates sin, but He loves the sinner. But God had a plan, since the beginning of time and it was to give us the most precious gift you can ever receive and it was His Son Jesus Christ.

As you have read in these passages, Christ gave His Son and He is the only way to Heaven...through the shed blood of Jesus. Some people think being really good, giving to charities, going to church, praying, etc. But truth be told no one is good enough for Heaven. The only way is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. 

All you have to do is call on Him to be yours and He will be....because He loves you. 

Admit that you have sinned

Believe that He died and rose again

Choose to receive Him

It is as easy as A-B-C
