#1-- God loves you!
In a world where it is sometimes difficult to find true love, it may be
hard to believe that God loves you. But that is what the Bible declares!
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) #2-- Mankind has a problem Only one thing stands between Man and God - our sin! The Bible tells us that every human who has ever lived has sinned (literally that means to "miss the mark"). The consiquence of our sin is that we have become separated from God. The result of that separation is that we cannot have fellowship with God in this life. Worse still is that at the end of you lives, we will be ushered into an eternity without God, a place the Bible calls "The Lake of Fire." "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8) #3-- There's still hope! God's love for us is so great that he provided a solution to deal with our sin. "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." (Galatians 4:4-5) God was not willing to lett our sin keep us from a relationship with Him so He provided the solution. That solution was to send His Son Jesus Christ to die in our place on a cross almost 2,000 years ago. By His death Jesus provided the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people. #4-- It's your choice God has provided the solution, now it's your turn. While God has done everything necessary for us to receive eternal life, He won't force anyone to accept it. It's your choice. "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation." (Romans 10:9-10) "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that shoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) What should you do? During our life we make many important decisions, but the most important decision we will ever make is the one about Jesus Christ. If you will pray and ask Him to forgive your sins and to become "born again," you will receive the gift of eternal life and you will enjoy a new life here on earth. If you chose to reject him, then you will have given up the most precious gift of all and remain on a path to eternal death. "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment," (Romans 9:27) Please, chose Jesus today and receive His gift of eternal life. |
