Jesus came to this planet to bridge the gap between God and mankind. Romans 3:23 states, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." God knew that we were sinful and that we would not be able to save ourselves. He showed His incredible love for us by sending His son, Jesus, to pay the price for our sins even before we realized that we needed to be forgiven. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." He, therefore, made the steps to salvation as simple as the ABCs.
Admit you have sinned.
1 John 1:8, "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."
Believe in Jesus.
John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Confess and turn from your sins.
1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
