Every person should know the following things...but why?
Because they are the MOST IMPORTANT things to know.

1. You should know that God loves YOU

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

2. You should know that every persons sins and needs forgiveness.

Rom. 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Rom. 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

3. You should know that God wants to forgive you and give you abundant life.

Rom. 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

4. You should know that it is God's grace that changes you.

Eph. 2:8-9 - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

5. You should know it is through faith in Jesus Christ that you are saved.

John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

6. You should know that it is through prayer and confession that you receive God's forgiveness.

Rom. 10:13 - For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rom. 10:9-10 - that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

7. You should know that you can pray for forgiveness and salvation right now.

2 Cor. 6:2 - For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
