1. God Loves You.
The Bible says, "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"
The problem is that . . .
2. All of us have done, said or thought things that
are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have
separated us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect
and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of
sin is death.”
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the
penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were
yet sinners Christ died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers
us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as
our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes
to the Father except by Me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His
name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life
as your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to accept Christ as your Savior
and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be
your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like
this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my
sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life
and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."
