Self Confrontation: Principle 1

Principle 1

Because God’s standard is one of perfection, you cannot meet it by your own efforts. You cannot save yourself nor depend on any other human being to redeem you. You need to recognize your helplessness to meet God’s standard and need to repent of your sin.

By God’s grace and mercy, you recognize your lost condition and believe wholeheartedly and sincerely on the Lord Jesus Christ to receive the gift of eternal life and forgiveness for your sins.

To

Because God’s standard is one of perfection (Leviticus 19:2; Matthew 5:48), you cannot meet it by your own efforts (Psalm 143:2; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23). You cannot save yourself (Proverbs 20:9) nor depend on any other human being to redeem you (Psalm 49:7). You need to recognize your helplessness to meet God’s standard (Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:9-12) and need to repent of your sin (Luke 15:7; Acts 2:38, 3:19, 17:30-31, 26:19-20; Romans 2:4; II Peter 3:9). By God’s grace and mercy, you recognize your lost condition and believe wholeheartedly and sincerely on the Lord Jesus Christ to receive the gift of eternal life (John 3:16, 36; 5:24; 11:25-26; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; I John 5:11-13) and forgiveness for your sins (Mark 16:16; John 3:16-18, 8:24; Acts 2:38, 4:12; Romans 10:9-13; Ephesians 1:7).
