Meet Jesus

How can I go to heaven?

"But your sins seperate you from your God. The Lord sees your sins,
and he turns away from you." (Isaiah 59:2; EVD)

Sin means things we do wrong.
Because we all sin, God cannot touch us.

"When people sin, they earn what sin pays-- death."
(Romans 6:23a; EVD)

The punishment of sin is death. Why?
Because God is perfect and connot be with any sin.

"Christ himself died for you. And that one death paid for your sins. He was not guilty, but he died for people who are guilty.
He did this to bring you all to God." (1 Peter 3:18; EVD)

Jesus lived a perfect life but died on the cross. Why?
To forgive our sins. Jesus is the bridge to God.

"But God gives his people a free gift--
life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23b; EVD)

God wants to give you a gift!
Because of Jesus Christ, you can live forever with God.
Do you believe it's true?

"This is what God told us: God has given us eternal life.
And this eternal life is in his son (Jesus). The person who
has the Son has true life. But the person who
does not have the Son of God does not have life."
(1 John 5:11-12; EVD)

Do you want to know God?
He can lead you everyday and you can live forever with Him in heaven.

	The ABC's of Salvation
	"All people have sinned and are not good enough for God's glory. People are made right with God by his grace (kindness). This is a free gift. People are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ." (Romans 3:23-24; EVD)
	"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved." (Acts 16:31; EVD)
	"Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Then God will forgive your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38; EVD) [Used with permission from Deaf Missions]

Would you like to accept Jesus in your life now?

Pray this prayer:

Dear Jesus,
   I know that I am guilty of sin. I believe that you died
   died on the cross for me. Please forgive my sins.
   I want to change and be like you. Thank you for
   your gift of salvation!

   In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Congratulations!
If you just prayed that, you made the best decision of your life!

"Yes, the Scripture says, 'Every person that trusts in the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13; EVD)

How You Can Know God Better

1. Read the Bible every day. The Bible is God's words for us. It teaches us how to live. Did you know there are special versions of the Bible for the Deaf? One good print version is: the Easy-to-Read Version. You can read the ERV on-line at http://studylight.org. You can also see Deaf people explain God in your own language with the ASL Bible! Check out Deaf Missions to see the ASL New Testament free. They also have daily devotions in print and ASL video free on-line.

2. Pray every day. Prayer means talking to Jesus. Did you know that God knows every language, even sign language? He is the Perfect Communicator and wants to communicate with you. Know that God always understands you and wants to talk to you, too. He will "talk" to your heart.

3. Worship with other Christians. Look for a good church near you that preaches the Bible. Churches help us grow and let us serve God in a group. If you live in the Springfield, IL area, feel free to visit DCC. We would love to meet you.

4. Tell other people about Jesus changing your life. Your family, friends, and co-workers need to know Him, too. Jesus told us to go to the whole world teaching about Him! (Matthew 28:19)
