Our greatest desire is for people to come
to know God personally. The simple truth is that there is a God who
created you and loves you very much. (Genesis 1:1) He gave us life and
deserves our gratitude and love.
We, however, have chosen to disobey Him and sin against Him; all of us
have done wrong and failed to do what is right. (Romans 3:23) We may
not be more sinful than our neighbor, or we may be far worse than
anyone we know, it does not matter. Either way, we are guilty before
God. (1 John 1:8)
God is perfect, completely good, always right and fair. He cannot
tolerate sin. He cannot simply overlook the fact that we have chosen
to disobey Him. The Bible says "the wages of sin is death." (Romans
6:23) This means that the fair payment for our rebellion against God
is death. It is the punishment that we deserve.
Jesus, the one and only Son of God, came to earth and lived a perfect
sinless life. He was crucified even though he was completely innocent.
He received the punishment that we deserved. He was the perfect
sacrifice, He was put into our place and took on Himself the sentence
of death that should have been ours. (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not, however, remain dead. After three days, he rose from
the grave and later ascended into heaven. He will return for all those
who are trusting in Him as their Savior.
Jesus died for you. You
can be saved by asking Him for forgiveness from your sins. If you are
willing to repent of your sin, He is waiting to forgive you. It
doesn't matter what you have done in the past, if you cry out to Jesus
for forgiveness, He will not reject you. The word "repent" literally
means "to turn away from." You need to look at your life, admit that
you are a sinner, genuinely desire to turn your back on that sin, and
ask Him to forgive you. If you do this, he promises to forgive you.
True Christianity is not about attending a particular church, or how
your parents raised you, or what country you were born in. Being a
Christian means that you have a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ, that He is your Savior. It's not good enough that your priest,
pastor, mother, or aunt knows Jesus, you must know Him for yourself.
They cannot believe in him for you, you must believe for yourself.
Jesus is everywhere all the time. He can hear you now if you ask Him
for forgiveness. Please turn your life over to Him NOW. Time slips by
so quickly, don't miss this opportunity. If you want to pray and ask
Jesus to be your Savior, you can say a prayer something like this:
Jesus, I know that I
have sinned against you. I know the truth is that I have sinned by my
own choice, and I am the one responsible for it. I know that I have
earned punishment from You, and that the fair punishment would be
death. Jesus, I believe that You died in my place. Forgive me for my
sin. I cannot cover or take my sin away, I am relying totally and only
on You. You are the only one who can save me. I reject my sin, I turn
away from it, I repent. Come into my life, take away my sin, and show
me how to live my life in a way that is right and pleasing to You.
If you have prayed this
and meant it in your heart,
YOU ARE SAVED! You are now completely forgiven, a new creation,
innocent in the eyes of God. Welcome to the family of God!
It is important for you to start to grow in your relationship, you
need to spend time with someone if you want to know them well. The way
to know God is through the Bible. It's important to find a church you
can attend where they teach the Bible. If you need help finding
