   "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."[Ge 1:1]   
      
   "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,   
   and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired   
   to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,   
   and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. " [Ge 3:6]   
      
   "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;   
   and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned"[Ro 5:12]   
      
   1. You have sinned against God.   
   "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."   
   [Ro 3:23]   
   "Whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in   
   one point, he is guilty of all."[Jas 2:10]   
   "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,   
   and the truth is not in us." [1Jo 1:8]   
      
   2. God is a holy, sin-hating God.   
   "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and   
   canst not look on iniquity."[Hab 1:13]   
   "For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness;   
   neither shall evil dwell in thee." [Ps. 5:4]   
      
   3. God's holy nature demands that all sin must be punished.   
   "For the wages of sin is death."[Ro 6:23]   
   "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and   
   death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:   
   and they were judged every man according to their works.   
   And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.   
   This is the second death.  And whosoever was not found   
   written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."   
   [Re 20:14-15]   
      
   4. God the Father imputed His holy wrath for your sin on Jesus, His   
   only begotten Son, as was foreshadowed and foretold   
   by Old Testament scripture:   
   " For such an high priest became us, who is holy,   
   harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made   
   higher than the heavens;   
   Who needeth not daily, ..., to offer   
   up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's:   
   for this he did once, when he offered up himself." [Heb 7:26-27]   
   "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,   
   while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."[Rom. 5:8]   
   "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised   
   for our iniquities."[Isa 53:5]   
   "Who did no sin...Who his own self bare our sins in   
   his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins,   
   should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes   
   ye were healed." [1Pe 22, 24]   
   "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures:   
   And that he was buried, and that he rose again the   
   third day according to the scriptures" [1Co 15:3-4]   
      
   5.  Jesus' death alone can save you from Hell--an   
   eternal separation from God--and nothing else.   
   "He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:   
   by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;   
   for he shall bear their iniquities."[Isa 53:11]   
   "For if righteousness come by the law, then Christ   
   died in vain."[Ga 2:21]   
   "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh   
   be justified in His sight."[Ro 3:20]   
   "Not by works of righeousness which we have done,   
   but according to His mercy He saved us."[Tit 3:5]   
   "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our   
   righteousnesses are as filthy rags."[Isa 64:6]   
      
   6. Eternal life is a gift from God to be received, not earned.   
   "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."[Ro 6:23]   
   "As many as received him, to them gave he power to   
   become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."[Joh 1:12]   
      
   7.  To receive eternal life and be saved from Hell,   
   you must ask Jesus to save you.   
   "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the   
   Lord shall be saved."[Ro 10:13]   
   "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt   
   be saved, and thy house." [Ac 16:21]   
      
   When you ask to be saved, two things are of vital importance:   
   "Repentence toward God, and Faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."[Ac 20:21]   
   "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."[Lu 13:3]   
   "For thou desirest not sacrifices, else I would give it:   
   thou delightest not in burnt offering.  The sacrifices of God are   
   a broken spirit:  a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou   
   wilt not despise."[Ps 51:16-17]   
      
      
   "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into   
   the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but   
   there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.   
   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto   
   you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.   
   As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other   
   gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."   
   [Ga 1:6-9]   
   --   
   .   
   "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."   
   2 Timothy 3:12
