II. Repentance – a moral change of attitude about your sins.
Repentance is moral remorse for what you have done wrong. It is not just feeling bad about sin, but feeling so bad that you change your disposition towards sin to reject it, dislike it, and assign a moral value of bad (“disagreeable to you”) on it.

Salvation is by grace (a free gift) through the means of faith.
- Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy.
- Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus is God.

Jesus is the sacrifice in your place.
