Admit and acknowledge because you are born into sin, you are a sinner in need
of God's mercy and grace.
"For all mankind have sinned (violated God's moral law) and fallen short of the
glory (the image) of God, and are justified (made right) freely by his grace
(unearned favor) through the redemption (repayment of debt owed) that
came by Christ Jesus." Romans 3:23-24
"But God demonstrates his own love (unconditional and unrestricted) for us
in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For the wages (payoff) of sin is death (eternity without God), but the gift of
God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
Believe in God's provision for forgiveness and relational restoration through
Jesus His Son.
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me." John 14:6
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13
"For God so loved the world (all mankind) that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever (without restriction) believes in him shall not perish (spend
eternight without God) but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn (pass judgement on) the world, but to save
(deliver and buy back) the world through him." John 3:16-18
Confess that Jesus is Lord of your life.
"That if you confess (admit) with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (delivered
and bought back). For it is with your heart that you believe (accept the
truth) and are justified (made right), and it is with your mouth that you
confess (acknowledge) and are saved." Romans 10:9-10
