[PLEASE NOTE: If you have access to a John / Romans printed by Bearing Precious Seed, the following material is a companion study to, and directly correlates with, the pages immediately following page 57 of that booklet.] YOU NEED TO SEE YOURSELF AS A LOST SINNER, SEPARATED FROM GOD AND CONDEMNED TO AN ETERNAL HELL.

John 6:37b - .. him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. PERHAPS THESE WORDS COULD HELP EXPRESS YOUR HEART TO THE LORD .. God, be merciful to me a sinner, lost and deserving hell. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, was buried and rose again.

Thank you for saving me; thank you for making me your child; thank you for giving me a home in heaven . Now help me to live for you from this day forward.
