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. |
