You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and
He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. Sin separates you from God.
The
Bible says, "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: |
