1. How to Know Jesus. What Scripture say about becoming a Christian.

2. Have you come to the place where you are certain you will spend eternity in heaven? The journey to Knowing Jesus begins with a simple but important question. There is another question that opens the door as we continue along the journey.

3. If you were standing before God and He were to ask you, “Why should I allow you into my heaven?” what would you say? It is important to understand what God says about why He would allow anyone into His heaven. Let His Scripture speak to His provision.

4. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23 The word sin in the New Testament is derived from three Greek words, but in Romans 3:23 it has a special meaning. The three terms translated into English mean the following. SIN 1.Inclination away from 2.Breach of a law 3.Missing the mark The last meaning is the one used in Romans.

5. In the old days the observer of archery contest would shout certain things concerning the flight of the arrow. When the arrow passed over the target they would say, “High.” When the arrow hit the middle of the target they would shout, “Center or Bulls eye.” When the arrow fell short of the target the observer would shout, “SIN.” Romans 3:23 simply states that everyone has fallen short of the target or goal that God has for them.

6. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 This verse contains two sets of contrasting words. DEATH – ETERNAL LIFE WAGES – GIFT It speaks of what one earns because of sin (missing the mark) and a gift.

7. Just as you might be able to recognize a crayon, by looking at it or having knowledge that it exists, does not mean you possess a crayon. It may be extended to you but you must receive it. A gift must be received before it can be used!

9. What is missing in this picture? If there is no door knob, how do you open the door? If you open the door to your life, the promise is that Jesus will come in. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if God told us how we can invite Jesus in? HE DOES!

10. “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” Romans 10:9-10 If you verbalize or ask Jesus to become the Lord of your life, His promise is that you will be saved. The process is a prayer to Him asking for that gift.
