God sent Good News into the world through His Son, Jesus Christ. The release for those who are held captive has come and is alive today. Without Jesus, there is no Eternal hope. Without Jesus, there can be no real lasting happiness. Without Jesus, there is no Freedom, for we are prisoners of sin.

Here's what the Bible says about release from sin:

• We are separated from God- "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

•We are not able to save ourselves- "There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Proverbs 14:12 "All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on him." Isaiah 53:6

• God has a solution- "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh,but made alive in the Spirit." I Peter 3:18 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For Whoever Will Call Upon The Name Of The Lord Will Be Saved." Romans 10:13 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shuld not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

•We must respond- "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 "Repent therefore and return that you sins may be wiped away, in order that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19 "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Steps to Salvation
1. Admit you're a sinner.
2. Turn from your sins, repent.
3. Believe in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead.
4. In prayer, confess your sins to Him and invite Him into your life through the Holy Spirit.
