“It’s impossible to save ourselves” by Darion Mortley

Matthew 19:26-26

“It’s impossible to save ourselves”

Man does not have power, to save himself from hell. The first Adam, who was once sinless corrupted himself by disobeying God. Adam’s sin passed upon his descendants(Romans 5:12). Our sins separates us from God,therefore all men are sinners. The Bible says in Romans 3:23,”For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Because of our sins we deserve hell(Romans 6:23) Some men, believe they can save themselves by good works. Good works cannot save us(Isaiah 64:6,Romans 3:10,Ephesians 2:8-9). Sadly, as I experienced last night, some men do not believe that Jesus can save them, and that they can save themselves by their actions. My friends, God has shown us in His precious word that salvation with men is impossible, but with God salvation is possible! The Bible says in Mathew 19:25-26 “Matthew 19:25-26 KJV
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible”. Jesus Christ, died for man on the cross and made it possible for man, through Jesus to get saved! Would you like to know how to get saved? Here’s how!

1. There is no such thing as a perfect person, the Bible says in Romans 3:23”For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
2. The curse of sin came upon us through the first sinner Adam. The Bible says in Romans 5:12“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:”
3. We can’t work our way to heaven. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
4. Our sin has a price which is eternal hell. The Bible says in Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
5. Hell lasts forever. The Bible says in Revelation 14:11“And the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever received the mark of his name.”
6. Jesus Christ paid for our sins on the cross with His blood. The Bible says in romans 5:8-9 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
7. Believe on Jesus Christ only for salvation. The Bible says, in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
8. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to save you. The Bible says, in Romans 10:13 ” For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
9. What to pray “ Dear Jesus I know I’m a sinner and that my sins will take me to hell. I believe that Jesus Christ, shed His precious blood and died for my sins. Please save me and take me to heaven when I die, in Jesus name I pray, amen”
