Salvation

To approach a person with the Gospel [the good news] one has to make four points with an unsaved person.

• 1. they have to know they are unsaved.
• 2. realize they can't save themselves.
• 3. realize that Jesus paid the penalty.
• 4. they must receive it.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23) For the wages of sin [is] death; (Romans 6:23) And  the  sea gave up the dead which were in it; and  death and hell  delivered  up the dead which were in them:  and  they  were judged  every man according to their works. And death and  hell were  cast  into  the lake of fire. This  is the  second  death. (Revelation 20:13,14) but  the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ  our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt  believe in thine heart that God hath raised him  from  the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall  be saved.  How  then  shall  they call on him in  whom  they  have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And  how shall they preach, except they be sent?  As it  is written,  How  beautiful  are the feet of them  that  preach  the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But  though we, or an angel from  heaven,  preach  any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto  you, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8-15)
