GOD loves you and wants you to experience peace and life-abundant and eternaly.
GOD's Word Says...
"...we have peace with GOD through our LORD JESUS CHRIST."(Romans 5:1)
"For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whoever
believes in HIM should not perish, but have eternal life."(John 3:16)
"...I have come that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. "(John
10:10)
Our Problem: Separation
God created us in HIS own image to have an abundant life. HE did not make us as
robots to automatically love and obey HIM, but gave us a will and a freedom of
choice. Being a Christian is a decision that each of us must willfully make.
We chose to disobey GOD and go our own willful way. We still make this choice
today. This results in separation from GOD. Becoming a Christian is not about
being a good person, but about allowing God to make you into something good.
GOD's Word Says...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD."(Romans 3:23)
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of GOD is eternal life in
CHRIST JESUS our LORD."(Romans 6:23)
Our Attempts
Through the ages, individuals have tried in many ways to bridge this
gap...without success...
GOD's Word says...
"There is a way which seems right to man, But in the end is the way of
death."(Proverbs 14:12)
"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your GOD, And your
sins have hidden HIS face from you, so that HE does not hear."(Isaiah 59:2)
GOD's Remedy:The Cross
JESUS CHRIST is the
only
answer to this problem. HE died on the Cross and rose from the grave, paying the
penalty for our sin and bridging the gap between GOD and people.
GOD's Word says...
"...For there is one GOD, and one mediator also between GOD and men, the man
JESUS CHRIST..."(1 Timothy 2:5)
"For CHRIST also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order
that HE might bring us to GOD, having been put to death in the flesh, but made
alive in the spirit;"(1 Peter 3:18)
"But GOD demonstrates HIS own love towards us, in that while we were yet
sinners, CHRIST died for us."(Romans 5:8)
Our Response:Receive CHRIST
We must trust JESUS CHRIST and receive HIM by personal invitation.
GOD's Word says...
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears MY voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with ME."(Revelation
3:20)
"But as many as received HIM, to them HE gave the right to become children of
GOD, even to those who believe in HIS name."(John 1:12)
"If you confess with your mouth JESUS as LORD, and believe in your heart that
GOD raised HIM from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man
believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting
in salvation."(Romans 10:9-10)
Is there any good reason why you cannot receive JESUS CHRIST right now?
How to receive CHRIST:
1.
Admit your need
(I am a sinner)
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
God provided a way to forgive us of our sins.He sent His son in the likeness of
man to die upon the cross and wash us clean of our sins.
2.
Be willing to turn from your sins
(repent)
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
3.
Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
4.
Believe that He is the only way to the Father.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send
the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved
through Him." (John 3:16-17)
5.
Through prayer, invite JESUS CHRIST to come in and control your life through the
HOLY SPIRIT.
(Receive HIM as LORD and SAVIOR.)
Inviting Jesus Christ to come into you heart is as simple as a prayer. But
remember that the prayer is not what saves you, it is the faith in your heart
when you say the prayer that saves you.
JESUS SAID-["YOU MUST BE BORN-AGAIN"]
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"[Jn
3:16]Jesus said..." Except a man be born-again,he cannot see the kingdom of
God"[Jn 3:3]
You can ask Him into your heart now.
Pray This Prayer:
Dear Lord JESUS,I know that I am a sinner and need YOUR forgiveness. I believe
that YOU were sent to die on the cross for my sins. Lord Jesus, please forgive me
of my sins. Thank you for Your forgiveness. I am asking You into my heart and my
life as my personal Savior.Help me to follow and obey You in my life from this
moment on. In the precious name of Jesus.Amen.
GOD's Assurance:HIS Word
If you prayed this prayer...
GOD's Word says...
"For WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. " (Romans 10:13)
Did you sincerely ask JESUS CHRIST to come into your life? If you did, God has
accepted you,just the way you are, into his kingdom of eternal life.
"For by grace (unmerited favor) you have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of GOD; not as a result of works, that no one should
boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
GOD's Word says...
"He who has the SON has the life;he who does not have the SON of GOD does not
have the life.These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the
SON of GOD,in order that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John
5:12-13)
Receiving CHRIST,we are born into GOD's family through the supernatural work of
the HOLY SPIRIT who indwells every believer...this is called regeneration or
the "new birth."
If you have made this decision, I rejoice with you, you have recieved
YOUR free gift
[YOU WILL now LIVE FOREVER].
