Easter Sunday Sermon, Glen Stevens, Salem Evangelical Free Church, Moorhead, MN.
We are separated from God because of our sin. The good news is that Jesus died and rose from the dead for you and me. Confess. Believe. Receive.
*Confess that you are a sinner and you need to be forgiven; that you can never make up for your sins on your own.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
*Believe that God loved us all so much that He gave His Son to die for our sins.
"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Death means separation forever from God.
Eternal life comes by trusting Jesus Christ.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
*Receive In order to begin your new life in Christ (to have salvation) you must believe that Jesus died for your sins & declare that you accept Him as Savior.
"If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9, 13
"For by grace are you saved through faith, and not that of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; old things have passed away, all things have become new." 1 Corinthians 5:17-18
You could pray a prayer something like this:
Dear God, I know I have sinned and I want to ask for your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I now accept your offer of eternal life. I will follow Jesus as my Savior and try to obey Him in all that I do. Thank you for my new life. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen
While you're still investigating or after you become a Christian it will be very helpful to you to:
1) Get a life application study Bible and read it.
2) Get connected with a Bible believing church.
3) Talk to God (pray) often throughout the day.
