You're not here
by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to have a personal
relationship with Him. There is just one thing that separates you from
God. That one thing is sin.
People tend to
divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people. But God says
that every person that has ever lived is a sinner, and any sin
separates us from God. That includes you and me.
"For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
According to
man's rules, people should be punished or rewarded according to how good
they are, and it might be hard for you to understand how Jesus could
love you when other people don't seem to. But I have great news for you!
Jesus DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine! And there's nothing
you can do to make him stop!
Are you thinking
that you should make things right in your life before you come to Jesus?
Many people feel that way, but that's not what God says!
"God
demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
For you to come
to God you have to get rid of your sin problem. But God says that you
can't make yourself right with God by being a better person. God wants
to save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He
saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of
His mercy." Titus 3:5
It's God's grace
that allows you to come to Him - not your efforts to "clean up your
life" or work your way to Heaven. You can't earn it. It's a free
gift.
"For
it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can
boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to come
to God, your sin must be paid for. God's gift to you is His son, Jesus,
who paid the debt for you.
"For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus
Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the
price for your sin and mine by giving His life on Calvary's cross. God
brought Jesus back from the dead and paved the way for you to have a
personal relationship with Him through Jesus.
All that's left
for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding out for you
right now.
"If
you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it
is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with
your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10:9-10
God says that if
you believe in His son, Jesus, you can live forever with Him in glory.
"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
Are you ready to
accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right now? If
it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your
personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart through the
Sinner's Prayer:

"Lord
Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life. But,
I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven
for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my
sins and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my
salvation and I accept your free gift of eternal life."
If you have
trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to
rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow
spiritually.
