I see a major failure in this tract. It is the lack of repentance from sin. Believing that Christ died for my sins without repenting before God from sin is to fail to be saved. John the Baptist came preaching repentance. Jesus came preaching repentance and believing (Mark 1:15). Luke 24:46-47 says: 46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Acts 20:21 says: 21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance involves confession. 1 John 1:9 says that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.
