You're
not here by accident. Jesus loves you,
and He wants you to have a personal
relationship with Him. There is just
one thing that separates you from God.
That one thing is sin.
People tend to
divide themselves into groups - good
people and bad people. But God says
that every person that has ever lived
is a sinner, and any sin
separates us from God. That includes
you and me.
"For
all have sinned and come short of the
glory of God." Romans 3:23
According
to man's rules, people should be
punished or rewarded according to how
good they are, and it might be hard
for you to understand how Jesus could
love you when other people don't seem
to. But I have great news for you!
Jesus DOES love you! More than you can
ever imagine! And there's nothing you
can do to make him stop!
Are you
thinking that you should make things
right in your life before you come to
Jesus? Many people feel that way, but
that's not what God says!
"God
demonstrates His own love for us in
this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
For
you to come to God you have to get rid
of your sin problem. But God says that
you can't make yourself right with God
by being a better person. God wants to
save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He
saved us, not because of righteous
things we had done, but because of His
mercy." Titus 3:5
It's
God's grace that allows you to come to
Him - not your efforts to "clean
up your life" or work your way to
Heaven. You can't earn it. It's a free
gift.
"For
it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith - and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can
boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For
you to come to God, your sin must be
paid for. God's gift to you is His
son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.
"For
the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Jesus
Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus
paid the price for your sin and mine
by giving His life on Calvary's cross.
God brought Jesus back from the dead
and paved the way for you to have a
personal relationship with Him through
Jesus.
All that's left for you to do is to
accept the gift that Jesus is holding
out for you right now.
"If
you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord," and believe
in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. For it is
with your heart that you believe and
are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are
saved." Romans 10:9-10
God
says that if you believe in His son,
Jesus, you can live forever with Him
in glory.
"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." John 3:16
Are you ready
to accept the gift of eternal life
that Jesus is offering you right now?
If it is your sincere desire to ask
Jesus to come into your heart as your
personal Lord and Savior, then talk to
God from your heart:
Here's
a Suggested Prayer:
"Lord
Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I
do not deserve eternal life. But, I
believe You died and rose from the
grave to purchase a place in Heaven
for me. Jesus, come into my life, take
control of my life, forgive my sins
and save me. I am now placing my trust
in You alone for my salvation and I
accept your free gift of eternal
life."
If you have
trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior,
please let us know. We want to rejoice
in what God has done in your life and
help you to grow spiritually.
