Good Deeds won’t help• People will not go to Heaven

because of their good deeds, nor to Hell because of their evil deeds.

• If people went to Hell because of their sins (bad deeds), everyone would go there.

• We all fall short (even me).

This may help…

• “Dear Father in Heaven, I realize that I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins [wrongdoings]. I am willing to turn from my sins and lead the life you want me to lead. I now ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart and I receive Him into my life as my personal Savior. I am willing, by God's grace, to follow and obey Christ as the Lord of my life. Please forgive me for my sins and save me.”… The Sinners Prayer
