Salvation in Simple Terms

God is pure and holy; if you sin, you are not. All of mankind sins. (1 Peter 1:16, Romans 3:23)

A just God cannot forgive one sinner and not all others. (Romans 2:11)

Sin must be paid for—it cannot be forgiven. (Romans 6:23)

The only accepted payment for sin is the life-blood (physical death) of the one who sins. (Hebrews 9:22)

Jesus offered his life-blood (quality) as payment for the sin of whoever (quantity) will accept it. (John 3:16)

The choice is ours—either we pay for our sin with our life, or we allow and accept Jesus' payment with His life for our sin. (Luke 23:39-43)

We are all eternal (spiritual beings). Where we spend that eternality is our choice. (Revelation 20:15) (Mark 9:48)

What will it be? Will you pay, or will He pay? Choose NOW while you still can! (John 3:16)
