And they called His name Jesus...
(Matthew 1:21)
For God so loved the world (mankind)
that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish (spiritual and physical death), but have
everlasting life (in heaven with Him).
(John 3:16)
In other words, God loves you and has a
wonderful plan for your life.
But there is a problem: God is
Holy.
Ever since man rebelled against God in
the garden of Eden, man has not been able to see Him or be with
Him. Man's rebellion is called sin, and causes separation from
God.
But God sent His only Son, Jesus, who is
perfect in every way, to die and pay the penalty for all our
sins. He tells us that He loves us, that He wants us to have a
relationship with Him, and He wants us to be able to spend
eternity with Him in heaven.
Now there is no separation between us and God if we simply
believe that Jesus is who He claims to be (our Lord and Savior),
confess this belief to Him and ask His forgiveness, and He will
give us His free gift of love and eternal life.
It does not matter who we are or what we have done. The
example we have is the thief who died on the cross next to Jesus:
he believed Jesus and asked Him to save him, and Jesus said to
him, "Today you shall be with me in paradise." (Luke
23:43)
This may sound incredible, BUT IT IS
TRUE ! All we have to do is BELIEVE and CONFESS ! (Romans 10:10)
God explains our circumstances in the
Bible...
- All men have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
(Romans 3:23)
- The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
- If I confess my sins, He is faithful and just to forgive
me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. (1
John 1:9)
- As many as received Him, to them gave he the power to
become the children of God, even to them that believe on
His name. (John 1:12)
If you want to ask God to forgive you
and give you eternal life, you need to pray the "sinner's
prayer":
O God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I am not worthy to
be in your presence. I believe that Jesus is the Christ, your
only begotten son, and that He has paid the debt for my sin with
his death on the cross. Today I ask Jesus to come into my heart
and heal my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Thank
you for your free gift of eternal life. I now ask that you send
the Holy Spirit into my life to teach me how to be more like your
Son, Jesus. Amen.
If you have asked Jesus to come into
your life,
- You can say, "I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)
- You can discover more about Him by
reading more verses like this ! God (the Holy Spirit)
wants to help you !
- You should find a local group of
Bible believing Christians in a church or study group to
help you grow. (Ask for a born-again Christian to talk
to. Not even all ministers are born-again !)
- VERY IMPORTANT ! Read what Jesus
says about The Sower
Luke 8:4-15. You are a new Christian and are vulnerable
to losing the details of this precious FREE gift ! Non
born-again people will cause you to be confused ! The
Holy Spirit will open your understanding as you study the
Bible.
- PRINT EVERYTHING OUT and keep it
for reference !
