| Why is it important to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? What is it all about? Here I attempt to help you through these Bible Verses which are in Basic English Translation. If at the end of this page you still have questions put them in the guestbook and I will email the answers back to you. |
| John 3:16-20: "For God had such love for the world the he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him. The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the test by which men are judged; the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil. The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen. |
| Romans 8:1-6;9-11;17-18;24;26 For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinner. For the law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh: so that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit. For those who are living in the way of the Flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his. And if Christ is in you , the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death. And if we are children, we have a right to part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory. I am in the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future. For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees? And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say; For what I am certain that not death, or life, or angels,or rulers,or things present, or things to come, or powers, or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come betweeen us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |

| It is a simple but sometimes emotion experience. For some it is a personal struggle between themselves and God. In the end we are promised great things, eternal life being the greatest of all. When we come to understanding and accept the gift of eternal life we engage in what is called the Sinner Prayer. |
