Your heart tends to run from God
and rebel against him. The Bible calls this "sin". Romans 3:23
says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God." That means NO ONE can say "I've been good enough or
better than you." Think about this, Do you really think there
is no set consequence ever for the wrong doing we do here on
earth? Is sin a Good Thing? NO! There is a Punishment and the bible
lets us know it happends to be far away from
God.
Yet God loves you and wants to save
you from sin, to offer you a new
life of hope. John 10:10 Jesus says, "I have
come that you may have life, and have it to the full."
To give you this gift of salvation, God made a
way through his Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8, says, "But God
demonstrated His own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us." The bible tells us he was
sinless(Without Sin). How many of us can say we are sinless?
Has anyone ever wrote in a book that you were sinless? NO! But
Jesus Was Without Sin and he took ours with him so we can be
white as snow through Jesus! Jesus Died and Rose Again! This
is the Gift of Salvation. Will you receive
it?
You receive this gift by
faith alone.
Ephesians 2:8 says, "For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it's the gift
of God -- not by works, so that no one can
boast."
Faith is a decision of your
heart demonstrated by the actions of your life. Romans10:9
says, "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."
If you are choosing right now to
believe Jesus died for your
sins and to receive new life through Him, pray
a prayer similar to this to thank Him for your new
life:
"Dear God, I
know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my
sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. Thank You, for taking my penalty and
forgiving all my sins. Thank you for my new life. From
this day forward, I will choose to follow
you."
If you prayed this prayer, share your
decision with a Christian friend or pastor. If
you are not already attending church, find one in which you
can worship and grow in your faith. Following Christ's
example, ask to be baptized as a public expression of your
faith. We'd love to hear about your decision to follow
Christ.
