Ro 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Fact 6 There Will Be Only One Adequate Line of Defense

1. Admit Guilt

   Ps 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

   Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

   More Scripture that proves Christ is God.

    

3. Believe on Christ -- Jesus Christ Is The Redeemer.
   
   Ro 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
   25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
   26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
   
4. Personally Ask -- You Must Personally Ask Christ to Save You

Ro 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
