Here’s what it’s all about...
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."
