Fact #6. That He was the way, the truth, and the life and no one came to His Father except through Him (John 14:6, John 3:17). Jesus becomes our Savior and delivers us from eternal damnation when….

Fact #7. We choose Him as our personal Lord (Romans 10:9-10, Romans 6:23, John 1:12). Only then will we receive the most amazing helpful free gift and hopeful fact of all ….

OUR SALVATION!
