"I'M NOT SO BAD"

Some people resent being told that they are "sinners."

Often people will react to a personal presentation of the

gospel by saying, "I'm not so bad!"

The book of Proverbs says, "Every way of a man is

right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts."

(Proverbs 21:2 NKJ)

Most people simply adopt the value-system in which

they grew up, either unconsciously or deliberately, without

ever questioning whether or not it is RIGHT. Even for

those few who determine to work out their own solitary

path, they seldom seek for an objective standard to measure

their ambitions or achievements.

The true and living God has revealed Himself in the

Scriptures and in His Son, Jesus the Messiah of Israel, who

was crucified for sinners, raised victorious over death,

and lives today to face you with the truth.

We urge you to read for yourself the New Testament

books of John, Galatians and Romans. Many could do this in

4 hours or less. These sections of Scripture explain that

no one except the Lord Jesus Christ Himself has ever had a

"record" acceptable to God. Everybody else from Adam and

Eve down to you has needed a Savior, and the Lord Jesus is

the only one who can save.

Read especially John 5, Romans 3 & 5, Galatians 2 & 3.

God's standard is perfection, judged against His own laws

which He has revealed in Scripture. Jesus Christ will be

the Judge on Judgment Day, since He is both the Son of Man

and God the Son. God offers free and complete forgiveness

to all those who repent of their sins and come in faith to

the Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord.

On Judgment Day, you will not be judged by your own

standards, but by God's.

We pray that before that Day comes, you will have

already "settled out of court" with the Judge, Jesus

Christ, as your Lord (Boss) and Savior.

Do it right now: Put your trust in Jesus.
