God loves you and wants you to experience peace, abundant and eternal life.

 

"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1

 

"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

 

"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10

 

Our Separation

God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not force us to love and obey Him. God gave us a will and freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. As a result we are separated from God.

 

"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

 

People have tried many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God...

 

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.: Proverbs 14:12

 

"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." Isaiah 59:2

 

The Cross

Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.

 

"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5

 

"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18

 

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

 

Receive Christ

We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation.

 

"Here I am. I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20

 

"Yet to all who receive him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12

 

"That 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." Romans 10:9

 

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?

Here is how you can receive Christ:

 

  1. Admit you need Jesus Christ in your life and that you are a sinner.
  2. Be willing to turn from your sins and ask forgiveness.
  3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and on the third day rose from the grave.
  4. Invite Jesus Christ to come into your life through the Holy Spirit.

 

How to Pray:

Dear Lord Jesus, I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life (Take a few moments to ask His forgiveness for anything particular that is on your conscience) . Please forgive me. I now turn from everything that I know is wrong. Thank You that You died on the cross for me so that I could be forgiven and set free. Thank You that You offer me forgiveness and the gift of Your Spirit. I now receive that gift. Please come into my life by Your Holy Spirit, to be with me forever. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Amen.

 

If you prayed this prayer, the Bible says...

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13

 

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

 

"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:12-13
