Where Did I Come From?

God created the world and that includes you. At first everything was good, just as God made it. But now we all make wrong choices and commit wrong actions. We live in God's world but we go our own way. We fail to live up to God's standards and so we are guilty. The Bible calls this sin. Our sin separates us from God.

The Only Way

God loves you very much and wants you to love Him in return, therefore what ou could not do through your own efforts, God the Son, Jesus did by coming to earth to die on the cross for you. He took the punishment for our sin and so Jesus became the way between God the Father and you.

�"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
�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
And God proved that He accepted Jesus' death as the way to life by raising Him from the dead. So Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. (John 14:6)

Why Am I Here?

We all want to feel good about ourselves, but we only experience true meaning when we connect with our Creator. People try to find their way to God in many ways, but all of them fail. Our sins are a barrier between God and us.

The Wrong Way

Where Am I Going?

Jesus invites us, but warns us, too:
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will
not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 3:36

If you don't find your way through Jesus, you will never know God Personally and your life will have no lasting value. When you die you will be separated from God forever. The Bible calls this hell.

How Do I Find My Way To God?

There are three steps to take:

1. Admit that you are a sinner. (John 8:11)
2. Believe (have faith) that when Jesus died on the cross He took the punishment for all your sin and He rose again to conquer death. (John 1:29)
3. Receive (ask) Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

"To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." John 1:2

Here is a prayer that you can use to find your way and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour:

"Lord Jesus, thank You for showing me how much I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for me. Please forgive all my failures and sins of the past. Cleanse me and help me start fresh with you. I now receive You into my life as my Saviour and Lord. Help me to love and serve You with all my Heart. Amen"

Jesus said, "Whoever comes to Me I will never drive away." John 6:37
