How do you begin a real relationship with
Jesus? 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."
|
|
|
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.
