1.) Admit that you're a sinner & need hope in life

🎺Romans 3:10 "As it is written and forever remains written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS [none that meets God’s standard], NOT EVEN ONE"

🎺Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God"

🎺1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.]  

2.) Repent of sins & change in your heart. Turn your heart towards God

🎺1 John 1:9 "If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]." 

3.) Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and God raised Him from the dead

🎺Romans 10:9-10 "If you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous--being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation." 

4.) Heaven & hell are real. Jesus died so you can enter heaven & be united with God

🎺John 14:3 "And I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also."

🎺Philippians 3:20-21 "But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body."
